THE 2 WEEK WAIT | overthinking, keeping busy, backyard updates, we finally bought a grill!

[@JennaHong]

I hope everyone watched until the end and can remain respectful as open as you’re being no matter WHAT happens these two weeks 💖 let’s never make assumptions or inferences and only give support to Rachel while she documents her TTC journey

[@RachelVinn]

thank you Jenna

[@3930Raquel]

We did several rounds of medicated cycles before our first IUI that was unsuccessful. Took a few months off of fertility treatments before doing our second IUI that was successful! That was our 19th cycle overall with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. We ended up losing that pregnancy at 22 weeks, but I somehow got pregnant the first cycle after our loss without trying. So many doctors visits, ovulation strips, medications, etc. only to get pregnant so easily the second time. I'm currently snuggling my 2 month old while I watch this video and I want you to know THAT IT IS ALL WORTH IT! Going through infertility felt so daunting, tiring, and never ending. Praying for your future pregnancy and this waiting period you are currently in.

[@RachelVinn]

wow what a story, thank you for sharing

[@mariemiller8103]

Obviously in a very different situation, but I have been hospitalized with a very high risk pregnancy and we’ve been told multiple times to plan for the worse. Seeing how you are navigating through a time where your faith could be shaken, has give me hope to not let go of my faith. Your videos give me so much joy each week. Also, the vulnerability it takes to be SO open and honest, in REAL time, is so unnecessary and yet you’re brave enough to do it. Thank you for being so brave and such a light 🤍

[@theclarks2856]

Do a staycation! Do a spa day and do some major cleaning and decluttering lol that's how i distracted myself in the 2 week wait! Good luck hun ❤️ my prayers are with you!

[@RachelVinn]

you know i can do a great declutter ;)

[@523danielle]

You are so strong for sharing this experience. Thank you for sharing both an emotional and scientific view of this moment in your life. You're really bring awareness to this and you should be proud of yourself. ❤

[@RachelVinn]

thank you

[@tracyelle2023]

God is giving you so much strength through this journey to motherhood, Rachel, and it is a beautiful thing to witness. He is bringing beauty, even out of the ashes. Praying that God's Presence will cover and keep you and AJ as you both wait to see the fulfillment of your prayers.🙏💛

[@alimueller2514]

The two week wait is the worst. I wish I had good advice. I think staying busy and making lots of plans helps. Best of luck as you approach testing day!

[@NishutiP]

You are such an honest, authentic and thoughtful person Rachel! It's always such a pleasure to watch your videos - I have been watching your vlogs for so long now. Sending you nothing but love and positivity! 🤍 (I know you'd appreciate the white heart, neutrals only gang!)

Love your wavy hair! Looks great with the highlights

Thank you so much 😀

[@melanieh1615]

Eating low carb is so hard. I am currently doing low carb for a medical issue and it's been a challenge every day. Especially when you go out or are at parties and events and you have to make good choices when all you want to do is eat sugar! Keep going! It's good to treat yourself too!

[@MPresley]

Praying for a positive Rachel 🤍🤞🏼

[@life.together.6750]

I’ve been TTC for 15 months and go in for my HSG on Monday! It’s been really comforting to have your videos to watch along the way and know I’m not alone. I’ve been praying for you!

[@rachellenale]

I love your crimped hair look! I crimped my hair some last summer because my hair curls with humidity anyway but I stopped doing it once the weather got cooler. I may have to break my crimper back out again.

You should definitely read the book “fast like a girl” that has so much information on hormones and carbs and your cycle. Highly recommend!

Rachel, thank you so much for reading those Psalms, I really needed it and would love if you shared more in your videos if you’re up for it. Btw, you made me laugh when you were stressing making your mom something to eat lol. The back yard looks great. God is good all the time, I wish you many blessings on this journey.

It's so weird how you miss someone even if you only watch their upload, I was watching your videos like months back, until I started a new channel and I was just wondering how I wasn't seeing your uploads anymore - until I noticed I wasn't subscribed 😒 SO I am happy to be subscribed again and watching 😊🥰

[@nestfulloflove]

Okay I got goose bumps when you read psalm 34. When I went through the journey to have my 3rd (long story of secondary infertility) Shane and Shane Christian singers have the psalm album and that song would be what I would play for every event to get to be pregnant. I’m praying for you!!! One thing that helped me a lot was saying the prayer of wanting my own children then letting it be in Gods hands then focusing on what I feel and experience all through the days when the prayer has been answered. Praising God and shifting negative thoughts to when it happens how I will feel. ❤

[@RachelVinn]

Love this❤

[@kristicardenas.1176]

I love that you actually share the Bible and not just say you read it.

Baby dust!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️

[@NoItGrl]

I commend you on sharing bc after I miscarried (twice) I felt like such a disappointment not being able to do what some people see as “what God created women to do.” And now I pretty much never talk about it so I can’t imagine sharing an entire journey like this online. So much love to you. ❤ ps: always watching just rarely comment subbie here 😊

[@lovewashfam]

I’m rooting for a POSITIVE outcome- but God is the best of planners. Also, I asked you a few weeks ago about your technique on ending music before the speaking bits and now I feel like you’re doing it just for lit’l’ ok me!! It make me smile every time so THANK U!😊❤ Take care!

[@evelynhr_]

Thank you so much for sharing your experience in real time, it is so helpful for us who are in the same path to learn and also feel understanding. I currently am in my 4th round of letrozole with my hopes up in this 2 week wait. And also trying to share my story via KZbin so I really admire that you can handle work, marriage, personal life and KZbin carrier all at once; mainly because it can be stressfull and we need to feel calm and peaceful haha. Sending you much love and my prayers from Guatemala!

Always praying for you! Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷❤

[@rose4982]

I'm here to say I am rooting for you both on this journey and am praying for you!!! Also, those honey butter brussel sprouts from Longhorn are FIRE!!!!! Also, I wouldn't say that you come across as negative so much as realistic. Sometimes we just need to look at the numbers and the facts, have our hope, but hold realistic expectations. Can I also just say that I am also a medical assistant, but for a Family Medicine office. I am in nursing school and you make me want to work for a dermatologist office. It looks really interesting! ❤

I think my piece of advice, if its worth anything lol, is to just take care of you during this time, do the things you need to do to take care of you 💕 get some good books, spend qualtiy time with your hunni watch some good shows, etc. wishing you the best of luck with this!

I haven’t figured out how to accurately track it yet🤷🏻‍♀️I didn’t know about the weight lifting or exercise with implantation 😬 I was going to ask for you and Anna to make a running/ exercise routine advice video but now I’m doubting my high intensity workouts/running 🤔 Exercise is just so good for my mental health I need it lol. The painted gate looks so good BTW!

[@murielj3449]

Same here. I had my IUI yesterday and started on progesterone today.

[@allisong3736]

You should look into NMN. It can be a helpful supplement during iui and ivf. there are also studies that show its helpful in fertility with out needing iui and ivf. My husband and I have been trying for 2 years, had a miscarriage and 7 months later are pregnant again after trying NMN for one month. I know you like doing research on different ways to help with fertility so I just think you may find this interesting!

Personally - and I could be wrong about this - but I think the whole low carb thing is BS. Just think of all the women who got pregnant who eat high carb diets. That's probably billions (trillions?) of people! You do you. If you want those fries, eat those fries. It's not worth stressing over.

[@RachelVinn]

The problem is I follow this one woman who had failed IVF… all of a sudden she eats low carb for 2 weeks and conceived naturally 🥲 so of course my brain decides to fixate on that 🤨

[@VanessaButtino]

@@RachelVinn I totally understand. Of course you'd fixate on that one case, it's natural. BUT she is one person out of how many? Keep that in mind ;)
