[@shainadaleiden]

i don’t know if you have any idea how truly moving this is to watch from someone who has ZERO knowledge about anything IVF process. you are seriously SO strong and SO brave and i am so incredibly proud of you. the cliffhanger again was mean tho 🤪🫶🏼

[@jullmm678]

When you gave yourself the shot I was like YOU GO GIRL 💀😂 So proud of you!

[@baileyaugusta]

I’m literally about to start sobbing. After all this pain you’ve endured through out the years, there’s nothing y’all deserve more than to become parents 😭💞

[@nikkinorton3047]

Crying. How beautiful is it that your child will always know how wanted and loved they are, and how their parents fought through pain and tears and so many obstacles to bring them into this world. ❤️ That kind of love is so special, and watching you and Leif interact makes me cry. You guys will be wonderful parents, and I wish you both the very best.

[@user-gc8un8ut5f]

watching leif care for you and be so sweet- the lemon water 🥲 and watching YOU lean into rest when we know you’re such a go getter… it’s beautiful to see. we love you and can’t wait to see you and your sweet fam 🥹

[@hailey9218]

Just finished watching. You ARE brave Jaci girl. You are every single quality your future baby will get to see and learn from (Leif too). What a powerful testament to your character and the love you have ALREADY for your children that they’ll one day get to see and witness through these videos. You are brave, you are strong, you are thoughtful, you are resilient, and you are going to get your baby. Thank you for sharing this journey. I pray for you and think of you often. I realize how odd that is to do for a stranger but wow do I ever cheer you and Leif on, I can’t help but root for good people. I’m a mom of two and just know you two will be such fantastic parents. Can’t wait for episode 5 and all episodes to come ❤️

[@thetwistedera]

This is SUCH a kind comment. What a wonderful heart you have.

[@AllySheehan]

jaci, whatever your situation is right now, we are all so proud of you

[@RS-lw1ms]

Leif injecting: “it’s never exactly where I want it to go” Jaci: wym 🤨

[@sarbrooksy]

You and Leif will be the most wonderful parents one day 🫶🏽🫶🏽 thank you for bringing all of us along. You’re a great story teller.

[@am8514]

Not us East Coast girlies dead tired but nonetheless refreshing and watching the full vlog! 🤍 Praying for you!🥲

[@jacimarie_]

Love you!!!!🥹

[@addisonsnowden6438]

just had this thought of your future children watching this back one day and seeing how much their mom and dad wanted and fought for them. What a blessing to have parents like you too❤️

[@hopehowchow508]

I'm currently pregnant from ivf and God my stomach has butterflies for you! Sending so much love from NZ ❤

[@Kpup]

Isn't it crazy how your pets just know when you need them??? Good girl, Lady. I can't wait for the next episode. Feeling very hopeful for you, either that this one is positive or that you have the strength to try again. You're both so brave and strong!!!

[@901Doglover]

This is content I would not normally consume but having followed you for so long Jaci I love how vulnerable you’re being on this journey ❤️ it’s so validating for so many out there and you deserve so much good for having the courage to share

[@HowToHustleHappier]

You’re so strong for not only persevering through all of this, but sharing it with us❤

[@45lomac]

I’ve never wanted something more for anyone. I took every deep breath with you before you got your shot. Praying the next episode has the best news! 🤍

[@michellekozak7827]

One of things that someone said to me while my husband and I were dealing with infertility that has really stuck with me as we go through it again trying for a second, “it’s easy to feel like you’re being punished or there’s something wrong with your body or there’s a reason why it’s not happening for you while it happens for others, but maybe it’s not just about you.. maybe it’s just about the child that is supposed to be here and when it is their time.” That feels a lot more real after having our daughter and how special her life is and knowing that she likely wouldn’t exist had our plans all worked out on our timeline. So hopeful for you and crying/rejoicing along with you❤

[@Katiekatie0099]

"it's ok no matter what." -- i know you guys have been together/married for a while, but oh to have the bond you two have. something so special. i'm glad you guys have each other through life and this journey.

[@jenaree]

I’m pretty sure we have the same doctor because that place looks familiar plus I did the same protocol 😆 first transfer didn’t work out, did ERA, and my second transfer ended up being successful. Currently holding my miracle baby in my arms. Every painful shot will be worth it in the end

[@merryclaire]

i had two miscarriages this year. and i 100% identify with the feeling of "not wanting to try" again-- while also simultaneously knowing we will try again and admiring how much courage it does take. i have to tap into a spiritual attitude of feeling grateful for my journey no matter what and trust in the process. knowing that all of the loss and pain endured on our fertility journey in the end will amount to something SO great and just make us that much better of parents.

[@marlishaslife9710]

As someone who has to plan for IVF in my further, thank you so much for sharing this journey. ❤️ I know this was filmed months ago but I’ve been keeping you in my prayers.

[@Allieischill]

THE CLIFF HANGER!!!!! Praying you both are safe and happy and all is well no matter what the results were. ❤❤❤

[@chelseaboudreaux5422]

You were right and it’s not cheesy at all…It is SO brave to keep going! I admire y’all’s love and support for each other through this process and hope for the best❤️

[@LexListens]

You are killing me with the CLIFFHANGERS!!! Fingers crossed that this little embaby is the one that sticks. BABY DUST

[@chandlercronk]

I have chills watching these videos, I have been following your journey to get pregnant for years and I'm sending you so so many positive vibes. Thank you for being so vulnerable with us, you are so strong and we're all proud of you!!!

[@paulinagala_]

You being this open and vulnerable means so much to so many people. We love you and cannot wait for a little jaci jenner or jasper jenner 😭

[@izzielathbury1568]

It is an honor to get to watch your experience. I’m praying for you both and future family. The love, vulnerability, strength, and grace you share is incredibly humbling and encouraging. Thank you! Sending lots of love yalls way❤️

[@isabellalacy9901]

Ahh Jaci!! I am so proud of you for doing another round of IVF. You have been so strong and I am feeling all your feelings with you. I can’t wait to see you be a mom one day and some women are just meant to be moms and that’s you. I have been loving this series and it has been opening my eyes to notice that having kids aren’t always that easy. I just wanted you to know that I am so proud of you and that you’re doing your best. Ilysm and I hope you’re having an amazing day 💕

[@nataliehayes4620]

I’m a dietitian and we use intralipid for TPN (IV nutrition)! Had no clue it can be used to improve IVF outcomes! Super cool!

[@maddyk.2358]

Ahh jaci I’m a nurse and I don’t think I could poke myself. You are amazing. I was actually cheering you on out loud. You guys got this.

[@haileycassano450]

Hear me out if you screenshot at the end of the video when they’re hugging she turns the test outwards and I swear I see two lines!! Praying praying for a positive for them!!🥹🫶

[@user-le9jj8sf4q]

I love your channel and your vlogs! I have watched you for over a year now and I love the y’all’s relationship! I also have enjoyed how open and honest you have been with this whole process! My mom went through three different rounds of IVF to have my twin sister and I. She had always told me how hard the process was and how we were such a miracle to her and my dad. My dad tells the story how after two rounds they were set on trying to adopt but it just didn’t feel right so my mom decided one more time. Thank the Lord that they tried the last time because I wouldn’t have been here. Thank you for sharing your journey and educating so many people on what this process looks like. I can’t even imagine how hard it is to go through but I hope that this can give you some hope. I really have just resigned with your story because that’s how I am here. Never give up and know that there is a plan! Love you guys and I’m sending all of the best wishes!🤍

[@maddie_everett_]

YAY JACI!!! I am so proud of you for doing that shot by yourself. You are so strong! Can’t wait for E5. I’ll be praying for you both endlessly!!

[@nadiaaaaa]

Im thinking they are so pregnant rn and uploading all these past videos

[@emilywhitlock680]

Be careful with some comments. If they aren’t, something like this could be very hard. 🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@ilovepalmtrees08]

Me too 🤭 I think she’ll post like a 4/5 month prego photo on IG soon

[@maddiedesloover6785]

i hope so too 🥺😭

[@nadiaaaaa]

I thought so but I remember Jaci saying she would share only once she got pregnant ​@@emilywhitlock680

[@Teamvampirebarbie22]

I agree. Especially because we know 2 of her friends that are pregnant and she mentioned that in the previous video

[@emilydavis8922]

I could feel the anxiety at the end of this video. I was sitting here, my heart pounding with yours. Praying that you are doing well. That you get the baby of your dreams so soon!

[@jennifersundstrom5437]

Silent viewer. Thank you for sharing your journey. Sending you guys love and good vibes ❤

[@irieinsight9467]

I’m like, please don’t leave us with another cliff hanger, pleeeaaase 🥲 rooting for you guys ❤💪🏼🫶🏼

[@laurengail5042]

These videos have been so helpful, I’ve been going through very similar things during my IVF journey and often feel very alone and overwhelmed - thank you so much for sharing the lows and not just the highs.

[@Anoukvdk]

I'm secretely hoping that you only started uploading these IVF vlogs once you had a successful transfer. So in my delulu state of mind you are already pregnant 😁 Hoping for the best, can't wait for your next upload ❤❤❤

[@paytonholder7183]

The girls night clip made me tear up. I’m so glad you have your girls by your side🩷

[@gabriellethomas3875]

“It’s okay no matter what” “I know….. im so scared” 😭😭😭😭😭 sorry currently balling my eyes out

[@JazVictoria]

I have a good feeling about this one! Wishing you all the baby dust ❤

[@gabbyfryross7796]

This plus the golden bachelor is giving me life

[@armasbriana]

Eagerly waiting for episode 5! Rooting for you ❤!!!!!

[@ashlynmarie9641]

I’ve never hoped more for a stranger on the internet to get what they’re praying for. Sending ALL of the sticky baby dust to you guys. Thank you for being so vulnerable on a topic that people feel uncomfortable talking about. I have endometriosis so I am passionate about all things infertility being more openly discussed and educated about - never learned a single thing about it at school or anything like that, so this is the way people will be educated. So hopeful for you ♥️

[@blanchecoconut]

Omg Jaci 😭😭 episode 5 cannot come any sooner!!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@ashleylacey7543]

Lady snuggling you was so sweet. I feel like dogs are so intuitive and can sense what’s going on 💕

[@Halie_B]

Sitting here snuggling my IVF baby- all those shots end up being so worth it. IVF parents are truly built different, you are so brave!

[@imogen5639]

Injecting yourself is another level of brave! I was watching behind my hands like ahhh. You are amazing. I so want this to go well for you both

[@kickinitwithjess]

I don't know why but I have this strong feeling it worked this time around, omg can't wait for the next vlog

[@gigio8120]

Leif’s surfing commentary while giving your shot 😭😭🥹🥹

[@lexilee2797]

I cry every time you post one of these. You have no idea how much i look up to you and how much im praying and rooting for yall🩷

[@JennaFam]

Prayyyying for you two so hard. You guys are the sweetest couple and SO deserving of being parents.

[@livmathz]

I am so so hopeful for you guys and have been rooting for you for well over a year now. I commend you for your authenticity and vulnerability throughout this entire journey 🤍

[@Hannah-hz1dv]

hoping praying BELIEVING this one stuck!!!! sobbing along with you the whole way! you are a rockstar I just can’t even imagine having to go through this❤️

[@xAbbieMariex4]

Starting my first IVF cycle in the next week and I am terrified. We went through a year of failed IUI’s and I am hopeful this will be different. Thank you for these video because they are insanely helpful. I am so hopeful for you guys 🥹

[@nikaay]

My ivf miracle baby turns 3 next month and this series is bringing back all sorts of memories for me. Praying you guys get your baby 💜

[@evelynzamudio6866]

The ending made me sentimental, thanks for sharing your journey.

[@madisonannthompson]

Lady is so sweet🥺 dogs always know when you need extra love♥️

[@laineecarter7203]

I’ve never clicked on a video so fast

[@bradscaramuzzi641]

The lady on the phone from the IVF clinic at the start of the video saying good luck at the end of the call warmed my heart 😭😭😭

[@Victoriamarie34]

as someone who has a huge fear of needles, you are truly so brave and I wish nothing but hope for you and Leif to start a family

[@brittanymrozinski7240]

The way this series has me invested! As a former TTC girlie- this WILL be a blip in the radar but while you are going through it none of that makes sense or feels like it matters- it will feel like the biggest hurdle you’ll ever go through which is valid this is the biggest part of your life right now. It’s weird how life works. You think “surely there can’t be more challenges or some other hurdle to jump through” and then it does. And life ebbs and flows into another phase. I pray so hard for your phase to shift into parenthood! Can’t wait to follow along on your journey 😊

[@LittleSweettt]

I real wish it worked 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I’m currently 34 weeks pregnant with IVF and I can relay every step of the way. It’s not an easy path but it’s a brave one ❤ Good luck!

[@floweranalee2071]

You're one of the first few people I followed on instagram years and years ago because I loved your photography and now to see you in front of the camera, sharing one of the most vulnerable experiences that is going to comfort so many going through the same thing is so beautiful. Sending you all the luck and love in the world Jaci!!!

[@carolcarpenter1351]

I was soooo nervous watching this… I need the next episode! I just wish you the best ever and I’m praying so hard for this family to grow… ♥️

[@sarahlawson1695]

Gurl the cliff hanger!!!!! Your last video talking about all your friends being pregnant without you, I had two babies when I was younger and I didn’t try for them. Both were wanted accidents. And 6 years later my husband and I were ready to try for another after 3 miscarriages from previous trying. And it took almost a year. I watched everyone else get pregnant while I couldn’t. And the true devastation and deep sadness there. It’s just profound and I felt broken as a woman. So the rawness of your last video there just touched my heart so much. Good luck I’m crossing my fingers for you ❤🤞🏼

[@Juliacorrieri]

Not me yelling at my phone for you to set the test down at the end so it gets the best results!!! Ahh!! Praying so hard for y’all ❤

[@sarahbanks654]

Was rooting you on so hard when you were giving yourself the shot, Jaci!! These videos are going to be so sweet to have and show your child(ren) in the years to come 😭🫶🏼 believing you are pregnant this time!!! Because something about it feels different.

[@chelseabair6651]

Totally a brave thing to do to keep trying!!! I’m not doing IVF but I have friends that I have done it. This has been so helpful for me to better understand what they are/did go through. Thank you for the window into that!!!

[@dezzy6038]

I am so nervous to start this process, but watching you all do it helps! Prayers 🧡

[@marrec92]

Yess I am starting priming and a must have list would be amazing. Also, thanks for making these videos you have been so thorough throughout this process. It is not easy at all and you are helping a lot of people!

[@MontanaK96]

I wanted to cry when you gave yourself the shot. The love you have for your children is so great already. Can’t imagine the fierce mother you will be once they are “earth-side” having worked so damn hard thus far 🥹🥹🥹

[@taylorboas22]

I’m on the EDGE OF MY SEAT!!!!!! Jaci!!! Cannot wait to see episode 5. Still praying for the both of you! 🎀🫶

[@LyndseyPhotoandFilm]

Ok I will say the nausea and extreme tiredness was how I knew both times I was pregnant!! Really praying it worked for you guys ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@haileylawson1284]

silent viewer, thank you so much for sharing your journey it’s been so inspiring to see. You are so so strong and i’m sending you both all the love and support 💖

[@emilyscott2066]

Jaci, please drop the next video!! I am crying.

[@annegracebr]

Awwhh yay Jaci ♥️ this is so exciting. You’re so strong and brave! thank you for sharing and opening all of our eyes to this reality. I can’t even imagine all those you’re helping feel less alone. This is very admirable and I look up to you as a 17 year old girl who thinks you’re just such an interesting woman. I wish you the best you guys got this 🙃🙃

[@m_0839]

Never have wanted something more for someone❤ Wishing you and Leif all of the luck!

[@brynnlynnbeauty]

Thank you for sharing this Jaci. I know that you mentioned feeling pressure with family/friends knowing. I hope sharing this and having so many comments isn’t making you feel any added pressure❤️

[@linipini]

the way you gave yourself the injection made you look like a warrior statue in the best way possible!

[@amandaetheredge8266]

Mama to a 9.5 month old IVF miracle! That second transfer after a no go on try 1 is tough. I remember all the feelings. Rooting you guys on ❤

[@ashleymasters]

Praying for you girl. You are so strong and such an inspiration. Xoxo❤

[@shuggybug]

Crying watching the end! 😭❤️ the anticipation is real. Hoping it worked girl 🤞🏻✨

[@emmhida]

Jaci these videos are so special. Thank you for sharing such an intimate and personal time with us. It feels like we are besties. 🥹🥹🥹 Rooting so hard for you guys and your angel baby, it will be so worth it in the end!!!

[@azaria4447]

I really love that you're documenting this process. I've never known anyone to do IVF and it's more intensive than I thought. I just keep thinking about how your baby is gonna feel watching these videos back one day and seeing how bad you guys wanted to be parents!! Sending you lots of love and prayers!!

[@daisytrowley]

brave for SURE! this has been really eye opening to watch. you’re breathlessness in the last two clips had me thinkinnn 🤭

[@angelinalitvinchuk5134]

Praying for a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby♥️

I’m here because of Aspyn and was so interested in this 🥰 so excited for you knowing what your most recent video is Edit: and I think animals know when you’re about to have a baby because they become extra affectionate

[@emilyadams1927]

Jaci you are literally so done for leaving us on a cliff hanger 🥹❤️

[@valenbarias13]

I'm praying and hoping this works for you guys! You deserve it so much and it's been so special being a part of it with you guys. Continuing to send love to you both!
