I'm Pregnant …After Being Infertile for 17 Years

Sometimes I wake up in the morning and just stare at my stomach in disbelief. I genuinely never thought it would happen, but here we are. I can't believe I'm carrying our baby. Thank you for watching and listening to my story. Everyone's journey is different. We never know what's going to happen. So where ever you are on your path, know that I'm rooting for you. It's not impossible.

Reina as someone who struggled with infertility (endometriosis) for years and years and years and suddenly got pregnant I am so happy for you! During my pregnancy I was always waiting for something to happen but overall I now have the most perfect little 15 month old. Enjoy it all too the fullest!

[@pul0y]

Thanks for sharing your story! As a biomedical researcher, I can tell you that many things deemed "impossible" just mean statistical impossibility. They're just really, really unlikely instead of absolutely impossible. Anyway, I wish you and your kid the best, that no complications arise!!

[@oban2259]

With the whole atmosphere of atheism and scientism; I know some people will be sarcastic for what I'm about to say. Here's the thing, a lot of stories we actually witness of people heal miraculously are when the diagnosis is indeed deemed impossible, giving a 0.000000000000000000000000001% chance doesn't mean it's not impossible, otherwise the spectrum of what's "possible" would get to the point that it only eliminates what's actually against the "principles of reason; such as law of excluded middle" What I am trying to say, there are some supernatural instances that just can't be explained by anything but God. The association is quite clear too, praying earnestl and helplessly for something and almost instantly your prayer come true. You can say "correlation doesn't imply causation" all you want, but the the sheer amount of recurrences can't be neglected.

[@IceMetalPunk]

@@oban2259 I mean... controlled studies on prayer contradict what you said in your second paragraph, so... But yeah, you start by saying "impossible just means unlikely" and then conclude "so when the unlikely thing happens, it can only be God". That... doesn't follow from the premise. I wouldn't have commented except you used words like "can't" a lot and specifically called out atheists and science, so... yeah.

[@oban2259]

@@IceMetalPunk It's either my writing wasn't clear, or you haven't read slowly. That's exactly the opposite of what I wrote. To be honest, I genuinely felt bad when I read your comment because even the counterargument shows you can't perceive life unless it's through the "scientific lenses", you're probably thinking it's more logical to always think this way, but not always and not necessarily. Please read what I'm about to say thoroughly: let's say someone claims they're an apostle or a messenger from God. This man had a lot of miracles to show, in which he showed constantly. Now that scientism is contaminating the air, people's first thought would be to interpret his miracles into regular actions to avoid associating that supernatural effect with God. In consequence, not effect would be considered a miracle because they would interpret it in a materialistic explanation as if that takes its miraculous element. A simpler question would be: following the orthodox scientific methodology used to day, what kind of "scientific" proof would you like me to show in order to prove God's existence, and why is the proof you chose is the right proof instead of the others. Thank you for your response.

In consequence, not effect would be considered a miracle because they would interpret it in a materialistic explanation as if that takes its miraculous element." Actually, no. Science isn't about finding ways to skirt around miracles, it's about finding evidence to learn how things work. If there is evidence to be found that shows this hypothetical apostle's miracles occur by understandable and material means, then saying "it's God" is ignoring the evidence. If no such evidence can be found, and the evidence that *is* found points to a supernatural or divine source, then even scientists would call it a miracle. Scientists aren't out to disprove religion, they're out to find evidence to uncover the truth. If the evidence points away from a godly source of events, that's something to complain to the evidence about, not to the scientists who find it. "A simpler question would be: following the orthodox scientific methodology used to day, what kind of "scientific" proof would you like me to show in order to prove God's existence, and why is the proof you chose is the right proof instead of the others." Let's not use the word "orthodox" here; in the context of this conversation, that word can get messy and confusing as it has strong connotations in religion. The scientific method is the golden standard not because some people in lab coats, or a book, said so. It's the standard because (a) it has a remarkable track record of uncovering the truth, i.e. being able to make predictions that come true, and (b) every step in the method is designed to counteract common errors and biases in human thinking. THAT is why it's the "right" proof, because it takes human error into account, actively attempts to mitigate it, and has continued to work exceedingly well as long as we've been using it. As opposed to other methods of deciding what's true, which tend to boil down to "because I think so" and/or "because someone said so", and often fail at making predictions that come true at a rate around random chance. You ask what I'd need to consider something proof of God. Let's first be clear that science never proves anything: it disproves things and supports other things. So when I say "proof" here, I'm talking about "enough support to consider the thing true". So what I'd need to consider something "proof of God" is the same thing I'd need to consider anything true: empirical evidence which is repeatable on a large enough sample size, under controlled conditions, and doesn't disappear when reproduced under peer review. That's what I'd need to prove any particular effect, such as a miracle, is real. From there, it would show that the effect exists, but not its cause; so the next step would be connecting the experimental conditions (i.e. the apostle performing their miracle) to the outcomes (i.e. the miracle itself). For that, we'd start making predictions by asking "IF this was made possible by godly powers, then what would we expect if we changed [x]?" and then making those changes to the experiment and seeing the outcome. So for instance, "If these miracles were godly in nature, then we'd expect atheists -- or at least militant atheists -- to be unable to achieve the same outcomes by performing the same experimental conditions the apostle did. So let's get an atheist in here to pretend to be an apostle and see if the results change." Stuff like that. Now, coming a bit full circle here, you claimed that prayer works. Thing is, there have been many studies on the subject, and every time a randomized, controlled trial is done on the efficacy of prayer... it gets zero results. Turns out people who believe that prayer works and believe they are being prayed for get the same benefits as a placebo (sugar pill), even if they're not being prayed for. If they believed they weren't being prayed for, then they got no benefits, even if they *were* being prayed for. And people who don't believe prayer works get no benefits in any case. If prayer worked, then we'd expect (a) the prayed-for believers to heal the same regardless of whether they thought they were being prayed for or not, and (b) the not-prayed-for believers to get no benefits even if they believed they were being prayed for, since there was no prayer. But we don't see those results. Instead, what we see lines up with the idea that people who believe they are being helped will have better symptom management and lower stress responses... which we already know because that's how placebo pills work. And they work the same whether the patient believes it's prayer or a pill or a therapy that's supposed to help them, as long as they believe they're being helped. So the power of prayer hasn't even managed to pass the "does this even work?" trials, which is a prerequisite before even starting the "how does this work? Is it God?" trials. Look, I get it, you believe in one particular deity out of the thousands that people have believed in and still believe in, and your faith is definitionally unshakable. So when science tests something your faith relies on, you have to either hope the results agree with you or else dismiss them as being "closed-minded" or "arrogant" or "antagonistic". Thing is, as I said, the scientific method is literally designed step-by--step to try and combat some of the most common cognitive biases and human mistakes. Arrogance is not admitting humans are fallible and trying to account for that; arrogance would be pretending that personal beliefs, misunderstandings, and anecdotes are less fallible than a system literally designed to fight bias. If you're interested, Wikipedia has a page that's just a list of cognitive biases, i.e. ways our fallible human brains get things wrong. It's very long and very extensive. To pretend we don't need to account for these issues is to imply that human perception and understanding is always perfect, which is far more hubris than admitting it's not and trying to do something about that.

I have PCOS, found out in March the happy surprise that my husband and I were successfully pregnant without needing to go through with IVF which I was preparing for. I am now 24 weeks pregnant, baby girl due October 28, 2022!! Congratulations to you and your husband as well!

[@suicideidiot321]

Congratulations! It is always great to see more people open up and discuss the difficulties of conception, it is absolutely an emotional struggle that deserves to get more discussion. My wife and I suffered from 2 back to back miscarriages before we finally went the full IVF route, now we have 2 wonderful children and contemplating a third and we are JUST now finding out that PCOS is a likely cause. Hopefully as more people connect the dots science can work harder to treat PCOS in a way that allows people who wish to conceive naturally that option, considering how prohibitively expensive IVF can be....

Congrats to you!! Not really a Halloween baby, but it will still be a spooky baby!! 🖤

Im with you, not ready for children yet, but terrified for the day with PCOS and thyroid disorder

[@selena893]

congrats !! I suspect for years that I have PCOS due the symptoms. and 1 month ago I had a surgery thanks to having Crohn's disease. They saw it was alot worse then expected and they even had to remove my right ovary. I was devastated .. :( how did they test you on PCOS? because without 1 ovary I really hope I don't have it now

[@mitsumimi]

@@selena893 I would find a good endocrinologist who is comfortable testing for and treating PCOS. It is mainly a clinical and biochemical diagnosis, meaning it's based on symptoms and blood work. The best would be a multidisciplinary approach between an experienced endocrinologist and ObGyn who come from different medical training backgrounds. The endocrinologist may be best for the initial testing for PCOS without missing other disorders or potentially misdiagnosing, and they can treat most of the time as well, but sometimes if you are specifically planning for pregnancy, then you should later also find an ObGyn to help with that.

[@iluvzac122]

As a 23 year old with PCOS and endometriosis, you’re story is so happily welcomed. I feel more seen than I have in years. I was about 14 when diagnosed but it didn’t hit until I was 19-20. It’s been a very long past few years with the exponential issues arising. I have been worried about this since the issue really started to pour in. Congrats Reina and I wish you the best. 💜

[@ReinaScully]

I’m so sorry about your conditions, I really do relate. It’s especially worse when, like you said, the issues start to compound. You’re still super young 💛 and medical technology is truly close to magic. I actually also had endometriosis but it was treated with laparoscopic surgery during one of my fibroid removals when I was 21; I don’t know if that’s an option for you or anything, but just wanted you to know that sometimes it can all work out.

[@glynnL]

PCOS is still not understood very well, I’m happy that you were diagnosed early and hopefully you have good docs that take it seriously. A lot of symptoms get worse with age, or more come out, especially if you don’t take care of your health, diet, exercise. Something that would have been easier to do from a young age if I had a diagnosis at that time. The pain isn’t in your head, I almost lost someone close to me because they ignored what turned out to be a melon sized cyst for so long. Hope you find some relief!

[@lexiasanchez4820]

I was diagnosed with endometriosis finally at 22. From 18- the diagnoses, I was in and out of ER's because no one would listen to me about my symptoms and just sent me home with pain meds. I had one doctor, ONE, finally listen to me and took me seriously and I was able to get a surgery within a week. I'm so sorry this happened to you Reina ❤️

[@faylinameir]

I had 8 confirmed miscarriages and probably more than that plus all the chemical pregnancies. IUI failed several times and cost a lot of money. Hormones and injections failed too. I was basically told it wasn't ever going to happen. The month before we were going to finally go to IVF to get workups done I found out I was pregnant on my husband's 42nd birthday and her due date was my birthday. We waited 5544 days and she was worth every day

[@wormspeaker]

Congratulations! My wife and I also got the "impossible" diagnosis too. (My sperm count was so low as to be "not readable" and my wife had blocked tubes and was over 36.) Then it happened anyway. As you can imagine we were incredibly surprised and the fertility doctor not so subtly asked if my wife had someone on the side. Our little girl is almost 3 now. She's the cutest little thing. Perfectly healthy, incredibly smart, and full of energy. I'm actually missing her a lot right now since I'm working out of the country at the moment. I'm hoping that everything will work out perfectly for you, your husband, and your soon to be baby. Parenthood is tough, but so worth it. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world and I'm sure that this unexpected addition to your life will make you happier than you previously thought could happen.

SADLY ist way to common for infertile to go out and secretly cheat.Then much muc later when thehy old and stuff then comes out clean about taht the child was concieved by someone else. Thast ONE of the reasons why doctors start more and more asking about the side gigs than before bcs it becamne SO NORMAL so to say to do that bcs ITS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to get pregnant via clinic/sciece way and MANY opt to eigehr consentualy but SALDY MANY go around the bush and secretly start cheating on their partners bcs they so desperate for a child or think thagt getting miserable is started affecting the relatuionship so to quicly fix they went out and cheat just so they can becoem pregnant thinking that tat will fix the marriage. Then tehn purposly lie about it for years up until old age when therer are no concequences as much tehn they finaly get clean about it.

I get that. Every OB I’ve had over my three pregnancies have denied that I have hyperemesis gravidarum. Meanwhile, 3rd time around, had to go to the ER for dehydration, lost 13lbs in less than a month and unable to get off the couch. Taking care of the other two babies is almost impossible, and I’d be totally screwed if it wasn’t for my support system. But doctors like to take the path of least resistance, and since hyperemesis is a somewhat rare and misunderstood thing (even autocorrect doesn’t recognize this word), they’d rather send me home with the lowest dose of zofran and assure me it’ll get better in the 2nd trimester. Every. Single. Time. Second trimester comes around, I’m getting worse everyday, and suddenly, low and behold, I’m telling the truth. Every doctor. Every time. Doctors are the worst.

Don’t feel weird about your age. Practically all of my friends (who want kids or have had them recently) are the same age as you or even older. It’s more common in our age group. Honestly, wild journey for you! I do feel you about not being believed about pain. I had similar horrible pains due to (at least what I’ve been told so far) high hormone imbalances, but I had to fight to get an ultrasound to make sure it wasn’t something worse on my second trip to the ER because I was in so much pain I couldn’t get up off of the floor, call for help, or anything until my DOG woke dog dad up since something was wrong. I’m glad that this is something the both of you are excited about! Sending you positivity for an easy rest of your pregnancy!

[@FrankLuver96]

i’m so excited for you, reina! you’re going to be such a fun & amazing mother. 🥺🖤

[@bumble_ki]

OH MY GOODNESS! Thank you for sharing and I’m glad you are feeling safe enough to share. I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes well. This is why proper reproductive health is so important and it's awesome you are bringing this to the forefront because some doctors should absolutely not practice.

[@robinsantana4653]

Congratulations to you and your husband! My OB told me my pregnancy was an anomaly. We wanted more but with PCOS it was not possible. I thank God everyday for my daughter. Can’t wait for the gender reveal!! I am so happy for you both!!

[@selenazc]

A friend of mine had a similar situation, but her mas was cancerous , was told she couldnt have kids, now shes with 6 kids , it can happen. so happy for you!

[@PaulinaGnecco]

I've had a surgery before for an endometriosis and I'm honestly scared, because my bf are planning a life together and I do want to have kids with him, and this encourages me a bit, thank you for sharing this 🥺

[@Erzas_Art_Atelier]

Congratulations!!! We're actually due around the same time. I'm having our second little boy in November. Pregnancy is hard but you can do it Mama.

[@RitzPlays]

Congratulations Reina!!! What an insane journey, I'm so happy for you, and annoyed at your first OBGYN, glad you've got great care now!

[@meganpleasant]

Congratulations Reina! Thank you for being so open about your story ☺️ I’m looking forward to seeing you go on this journey!

[@davidguthriemusic]

[@alyuch1659]

Hi Reina! Long time viewer, first time commenter. I really appreciate you sharing your pregnancy journey in Japan with everyone. I recently found out that I'm also growing a human and am 11 weeks in. This will also be my first pregnancy and in Japan of all places rather than at home in California, so I'm truly looking forward to seeing your experiences with the systems here and providing us with any advice you may have along your journey! Huge congratulations to you and all the love and best wishes!

[@Christopher-J]

Congrats to you both and best wishes! 💞 My parents were having trouble conceiving, so they adopted me. Then, with the pressure off, they conceived my sister, who was born nine months later! People who don't know I'm adopted do a double take when they hear I'm only nine months older than my sister. LOL!

[@Heleous281]

Incredibly brave of you to share this with us! What a crazy journey...I wish you guys all the best! Mommy Reina is going to be so dope! Congrats!!!

[@dextervillanova540]

Congratulations Reina. You’re going to be an amazing mom and I know for a fact that this will be one of the best things in life for you. Sending love and hugs and positive vibes your way for a healthy and problem free pregnancy.

[@Pokemon60660]

Congratulations!!! This just goes to show no matter how much life looks bleak due whatever reasons, it can turn around for the better. So whatever you are going through never give up. Positive thoughts always! Edit: P.S.- been following you since the SourceFed days!

[@Tam_Miri]

I'm just crying so much over this lol. Amazing. It'll be a lot of time, effort and work but it'll be worth it and full of lots of happiness. May you have a safe term and delivery!

[@br3annand3rs0n]

Sobbing through this whole video. I'm so so sorry you had the rough journey, but I'm so happy for you! Congratulations, you and Mike are going to be wonderful parents. I know I don't know you guys irl but I'm just ecstatic for you. All of the love and well wishes reinerrrr

[@dawn_summer428]

Congrats, Reina!! I'm also terribly sorry about your early experiences with healthcare and that it took so long for you to get the healthcare you needed. I'm so glad you did finally manage to get the proper care you needed! Thank you so much for sharing your story and continuing to share your story about your continuing pregnancy 💗

[@Karn_EX]

Huge congrats, Reina! What a journey! I'm a November baby same as Mike and we're (I have not done any research) definitely the coolest birth month 😎

[@pitgroove.37_66]

You don't need to worry about us. If we are genuine fans of you, then that means we're here to support you no matter what happens. And if it happens at all, which I'm predicting it might, just ignore the loudmouth haters and rude people who have nothing better to do but say hurtful things to make themselves feel more superior while they sit in their grandparents' basement with nothing but their drawls on! 😁 Biggest of congratulations 🎉🎉

[@Snowhawk1835]

Take care of yourself. My wife also went through the same ordeal. Except it was her appendix. When she real young. It wasnt like a normal appendix rupture. She was told the same thing they sent her home. She was in her class the next day, when she was rushed to the hospital. She had our only child, at the age of 31. 20 years later. My daughter is my pain and sunshine. 😆 Love your videos and congratulations to the both of you.

[@hezaroseli]

This brought such a huge smile to my face. I am starting my journey to become pregnant, and seeing yours has brought my excitement levels up even higher!

[@MyOhMyiah]

Congratulations! I’ve been told since I was an early teen that I also won’t be able to conceive and it brings me so much joy to see others in that same boat growing a little human! I’m hoping one day I can join the club. 🤞🏻

[@driftingswordsmanzer]

Congratulations Reina and Mike been a viewer since the sourcefed days! Blessings to you and yours and your new bundle of joy. Thank you for sharing your story and future journey.

[@HAVgiraffe]

OMG the ULTRASOUND!!!! I hope that you don't ever feel like you owe us an explanation for not sharing something so personal! You have no obligation to share everything with us! If you had kept your pregnancy secret through birth it would not have been a problem! CONGRATULATIONS on the baby! I wish them a full, healthy and long happy life! You and your husband will be AWESOME parents!

[@Kawalamode]

I'm so happy for you! that was a crazy time in your life and now you're growing a baby. I am wishing you and the baby a healthy life ~ This is really cool!

Congratulations! I'm someone who's known even before I was officially to that I can't have kids. Because of my disabilities my body just wouldn't be able to handle being pregnant. I okay with that though. I accepted it a long time ago. So I am super happy to hear of other women's pregnancy's. Especially since you were told you couldn't fall pregnant. I can't wait to see what being pregnant in Japan is like for you in your videos. Good on Mike for getting you pregnant when he did so the due date is his birthday 😀

[@AlleyBetwixt]

[@imagimoor1694]

DUUUDE I just watched your recent vid and had a feeling you were pregnant (I didn’t know you thought you couldn’t conceive) like I noticed you didn’t show your tummy and idk for some reading I had an inkling. Congratulations 🎊🎈🍾🎉 I’m so excited for you and your hubby.

[@OokamiTsu]

I'm soooo happy for you Reina!!! Q: How did you tell your husband and what was his reaction? I can't wait for the gender reveal, you have to make them choose an initial pokemon when they're born lol!!

[@YinYang847]

I’m incredibly happy for you and your husband. It’s amazing to hear about your pregnancy. My best friend was in the same situation and now she is literally weeks away from giving birth to a baby girl. She lived with that same notion and now her family is going to celebrate a new impossible baby girl. I’m crying also at times just thinking about it. PS- your makeup was superb regardless of your tears 😂❤😂❤😂
