Ivf was one of the hardest things I've ever done, your video is so relatable and keeps it real. I really hope and pray you get your little miracle soon! ❤

[@jessssalemme]

I am currently in my unmedicated month and back in the gym, feeling SO much better. My egg retrieval was Oct 18th, so looking forward to the next steps in the journey alongside all the other IVF warriors!❤

Rachel, I’ve only been following your journey for a few months now, but your resilience, faith, and resolve shines bright. Thank you for taking us along such a personal journey. Prayers for you and AJ 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@RachelVinn]

thank you friend

[@Ms.KGP88]

​@@RachelVinn Are you pregnant now?

[@ErnestBarnes-ql2hn]

Following and praying for you guys all the way in VA.

[@jaymewilliamsfitness4352]

I’m so happy things went well! OHSS (and just the post-retrieval bloat) can SUCK IT - that’s for sure! 😫 But you’re 100% right that in the end, it’s worth every bit of it. Sending love and prayers from GA! ❤

[@mansoor3159]

Rachel you never disappoint me with your vlogs and your vlogs are always best for me and I wish you have a good day ahead 💕💫😊

[@angeleyez8866]

Thank you for these IVF videos. I am getting ready to start IVF in August. This gives me so much hope that everything is going to work out. Congratulations on your baby! Prayers 🙏

[@blushingbombshell6898]

Thank you for sharing this part of your life. You have no idea how much you are helping people. And you are doing great, you're a champ.

[@RachelVinn]

Thank you so much!

[@AREEYAWNA]

Rachel! It’s very obvious that you would do anything for your child even before they are here. I hope sometimes you can sit with that and be assured that it will happen for you one day. Someone who goes through all of this is meant to be a mother. I’m praying for you, AJ, and your future baby. Love you!!❤

[@madelinelewisx]

so excited for you!!

[@annakoretchko688]

praying through the process!

Sending all the prayers and trust and baby dust!!! ❤

[@YarleyWilliams]

Almost there!! You are doing great❤

[@amandakoh6111]

Hang in there Rachel! God is with you :)

[@soniawooden6427]

I am soooooo happy for u!!!

[@allthingshealthy2314]

Sending you love and peace on this journey. You mentioned you’re always cold and I noticed you have tile floors. Has your acupuncturist ever mentioned wearing socks at home versus being barefoot? Mine used to suggest that because your feet are connected to your uterus so keeping your feet warm helps keep your uterus warm and a hospitable place- it can also help period cramps too. Just something to consider as I felt it on my heart to share

[@erniewornie]

I am on the same path as you Rach. Had my trigger shot at 1am, egg retrieval tomorrow. Good luck to both of us❤

[@nijahlynch1589]

Wishing you the best of luck! 🙏

[@RachelVinn]

Woohoo!!! good luck to you!

[@user-yn2yf3ky5e]

I empathize with you. Almost there. God bless you!!

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Good morning Rachel happy Monday morning and happy Halloween and get well soon and we'll paying respect to you and your loved ones and take care of yourself

[@kimv6309]

Going through this fertility journey as well. Already multiple rounds of egg retrieval, unfortunately a failed transfer, comes with all the emotions, grieving after but also moving forward for the next rounds. It’s a wild journey! And we enter this new circle of others who have their own journeys but we share similar emotions.

[@katrinakovalenko6206]

I also did 2 IUI’s that failed I’m starting IVF in 2 weeks. But I’m 40 (almost double your age) thanks for sharing your journey ❤ I’m so nervous !!! Good luck 🙏🏻

[@RachelVinn]

You got this!!

[@katrinakovalenko6206]

Thank you love!!! 🥹Can’t wait to hear your good news! ❤️👶🏼

[@neysarodriguez9622]

Praying for you from Miami Dadeland area 🙏🏻♥️

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

First! Happy almost Halloween, Rachel!❤

[@areegosama7003]

I feel all what you are going through 😢 I’ve been going through this for years now😢

[@rachellenale]

I love how vocal Vinny was in this video😂❤️

[@eddiemartinez7555]

Awesome Rachel. Coolest videos ever 😊😅🎉🎉🎉😂😂❤❤

[@Justme_elizabeth]

Rachel. You are so strong. Please be aware that cabergoline can cause excessive sleepiness, nausea, and can cause periods to be worse than usual. I was on that to treat my pituitary tumour I know it can also cause headaches. ❤❤

[@RachelVinn]

Thanks for the tip!

[@katjawenn9800]

All my love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@mantsebelekhoeli3715]

Hell❤Rachel may God be with you dear

[@kristismyk1930]

Do you have any say with your clinic in how many eggs are fertilized or embryos created?

[@Yesad.]

Take A Good Care Of Urself, God Bless U, Rachel !!

[@Dugg124]

Wishing you the best on your IVF journey! The bloating makes the booty POP tho XD Also, once you get pregnant your body will change and grow a lot, so just embrace the bloat and changes to bathroom habits - its practice for your pregnancy!

[@Deniqueen_88]

I like your sport pants,where do you get it ???😊

[@sadiagul1418]

Kindly tell the after embroy transfer care

[@jonabumstead-jv2ql]

How many days in total did you need to do stims injections for? ❤

[@raquelsilva531]

Rachel: Hi Vinny. Vinny: Hi!

[@RachelVinn]

Heheheh

[@wyliee2]

Just had my egg retrieval this morning at 10:30. Valentines Day, I retrieved 4 then we have 6 donor eggs ❤❤ praying for eggs to mature and cramps to lessen ugh and constipation is real…..

[@ikyopolisenterprises2474]

Please was egg retrieval painful. It's getting me really really scared. I hope to hear from you

[@user-gl8ek2kd4k]

It’s not painful

[@gerlie_0484]

The bloating is crazy the night after egg retrieval 😢😢

[@mariamunoz3115]

Hi! Who is your doctor? I think we go to the same clinic in Cooper City. I had my egg retrieval this past Tuesday in South Miami on Halloween (first round). Good Luck girl!!!

[@RachelVinn]

Roseff !!!

[@warmbreeze43]

God will be great ❤

[@Haklina92]

❤❤❤

[@asandamun]

OHSS only happens after the egg retrieval because that’s when your estrogen is highest

[@jessgoode9420]

My estrogen is sitting at 14000

[@aro4781]

Congrats🎉! May Allah(God) bless you with your own biological children. Ameen

[@layray210]

I bloat like that every single day, no IVF needed 🙃 I hate it sm

[@RachelVinn]

The struggle is real

[@ArareCHANCElife]

I feel like you got pregnant!!!!

[@RachelVinn]

Nope

[@ArareCHANCElife]

@@RachelVinn awww I was hoping bc I was watching your videos last night & you hadn’t posted anything IVF related that hopefully it had worked … or maybe you haven’t done it yet? I don’t know what your dates were. Just know I feel for you! I haven’t started IVF bc everything in me doesn’t want to. It’s been over a year since my 9&1/2 week loss & nothing but chemicals. Just got done bleeding from another… I did something called soy isoflavones this month tho … & I’m super excited about that. Also .. would you call yourself a stressed person?

[@user-uw8kn6wh3s]

So they ain’t going to tell you how many eggs you have got fertilized and how many are mature and how many embryos make it to blastocyst until the end of November. I didn’t have to wait that long to find out how many embryos were fertilized and how many made it to blastocyst and I’m using donor eggs. You shouldn’t have to wait that long they should tell you how your embryos are doing every couple of days. I wouldn’t wait until the end of November I would ask for updates every couple of days.

[@Mayyccaa]

Dayum girl that sucks. Have you thought of adopting?

[@user-uw8kn6wh3s]

And you never told us how many eggs they retrieved and how many of those eggs fertilized are you just not going to tell us that information or what. Your on KZbin documenting your ivf journey but your not willing to share the embryo results that makes no sense.

[@RachelVinn]

I explained how you can get the info in the video. I don’t HAVE to share anything, actually

[@imperial.dermatology]

Easy now, this is very personal and she shares as much as she is comfortable sharing! Let’s respect that!

[@jenn366]

She don't have to tell you every little thing about her life geez

[@bearpuns_]

I’m so happy and hopeful for you both 🤍 I pray this process proves successful!

[@RachelVinn]

Thank you so much!!
