Our Fertility Journey: Episode 1

[@nicoleaviles331]

I hope people stop commenting that they expect at the end of the series you’re pregnant. It’s not fair and it puts more pressure on Desi. Let’s just send her well wishes and love.

[@xiomaruugh]

I was thinking the same thing, like my immediate reaction was I hope this series ends with her being pregnant, like how amazing would that be, but seeing everything she's already been through. She's been through so much and she's choosing to be vulnerable with us when she really doesn't have to.

[@carolinaroman3170]

🤍 yes

[@emilyotremba3807]

[@mixed_beauty]

I think she is! The last part was recorded between july and September from the last year. I’m really expecting good news, they have been through so much that really made me cry. I’m gonna be very happy if I’m not wrong! God bless them❤️

[@CassandraGonzalez]

Nicole Aviles amen to thisssss!! We’re lucky that she’s sharing it all with us ! Just keeping them in prayers!

[@gabriellareneelugo]

This is why you’re one of my favorite youtubers. I suffered a miscarriage 5 years ago and remember reaching out to you and you actually taking time to reach back out to me. I still have that screenshot saved on my computer. I will never forget it. I’m typing this as I’m carrying my 5 month old baby boy in my arms as he sleeps. It will happen for you too. I know it. Praying for you.

[@kaylieramos]

Gabriella Lugo I’m so happy for you! May your baby boy & you always be safe ❣️ I’m 21 & was told I might have ovarian cysts so I’m very scared for the future but this gave me hope

[@valeriaroa7426]

Omg reading this makes me so happy 🥺 congratulations to you and your family 💞

[@delyxo]

Reading this makes me so happy. Congratulations!

[@Capric0rnprincesss]

Such a blessing 🥺♥️ so happy for you!

[@trinitysativa]

Gabriella Lugo I am crying this is beautiful

[@karo5b]

This is WHY I STOPPED asking couples when will they have a baby or ever get married. You don’t know what’s going on in their relationship...you never know.

[@mrspokitstheriot477]

Also. It's just no one elses business. If you're not involved in the making or carrying of said baby, it's not your concern. So dont ask.

[@angelbby0592]

And also because it’s just rude to even ask a woman if she is or not.

[@shaidabunyat9357]

Preach sissy

[@policewifey1741]

Yes! Thank you for no longer asking couples this. My husband and I have been together for 13 years and had a horrible miscarriage last year that no one really knows. When people ask us this, it hurts so bad! I don't want to openly tell people we are having problems conceiving because it's no ones business and I don't want the added stress of people asking about it and "have you tried this or that." I just wish people wouldnt ask this question at all.

[@crystale5625]

Yes! People asking me why I don’t have more kids. It’s so messed up obviously it’s because I can’t .

[@jaelcameusmua]

Do not ask a couple “when are you having kids?” Or “why haven’t you yet?” You have no idea how much they could be going through.

[@aliciar2644]

Jael Cameus or they just don’t want to have kids and that’s okay too 😇

[@Ac2091-x1f]

I use to get so annoyed when I got asked this question. I knew I wanted to start having kids at 30 years old but nobody believed me in my 20’s and would keep asking why I wasn’t. My husbands friends would make fun of him saying he couldn’t have kids. Once we had one at 30 they all shut up.

[@luvelyme07]

Jael Cameus totally agree! I never ask a couple when are they having kids bc you truly don’t know what someone is going through.

[@theshadesoffamily]

Hate when people do that!!!! Like think before you speak!

[@AnyoneAccount]

Alicia R that’s not okay and is for pathetic losers

[@MakeupLau]

Dear people, please stop commenting about « the finale must be them announcing a pregnancy! ». What if they aren’t? Could you imagine them going trough the comments? They must feel so pressured already, please stop. Desi & Steven, I’m sending you all my positive energy. As a women with endometriosis, I’ll surely face some problem with fertility. Thank you so much for sharing. You guys are so brave ! ❤️🙏🏽

[@Rareisbeautiful]

Perfectly said!

[@brookebixler1040]

Well said!! I'm so glad you mentioned this, because it's very important that we don't let Desi & Steven feel like they've let us down!

[@gladysmenchaca8536]

Yes! Thank you so much for saying this.

[@beautyfab8047]

Well said ✨👏🏼

[@mautiakay]

This! Maybe they don't even have a final episode yet. Maybe they just thought with all of this footage piling up they might as well start to share it. Or maybe they are expecting. Either way, this series is valid and helpful.

[@suhir5210]

Those of you who say I hope she announces her pregnancy at the end of the series have to realise that if she isn't, your expectations could be hurting her.

[@mrs.cardenas3178]

No, it's just what we wish for her.

[@suhir5210]

@@mrs.cardenas3178 of course everyone wishes that for her and none of us wish it for her more than she does for herself. This is the equivalent of " are you pregnant?" Or " when are you going to have a baby?" I guarantee you that it hurts her if she hasn't gone numb from hearing it so much. I know it's just good intentions.

[@suhir5210]

@Enormous Dixahalv you can also apply your " solution" to hate comments too, but then those who want to communicate with her cant. Maybe the comment section would provide much support for her. I think the easiest thing to do is keep such comments to oneself. Problem solved.

[@hanifanifa]

@Enormous Dixahalv shaddap jerk

[@suhir5210]

@Ashley Elle oh I know . It's not malicious at all. The good intentions are there. It's just that she wants a baby more than we do for her. Infertility makes you feel like you're faulty and every time you get a negative test , it's soul crushing. You're already disappointed in yourself ( even if you know its not your fault) you don't need to fell like you're disappointing your viewers too. I'm 100% sure she knows you have only good intentions.

[@bellav5761]

STEVEN STARTED TALKING AND I CRIED WITHIN THE FIRST 10 SECONDS

Girl my 6 lash extension are GONE!!! 😭😭😭 they deserve so much 🥺

[@adrianaguzman8986]

[@Cubanita_Foodxplora]

Same here

[@RenataGoodley]

People can be very cruel. 5 Years ago I had a stillbirth to our daughter. 2 years ago we adopted a beautiful boy from Hong Kong. People ask "Why don't you have kids of your own?" I found it so rude. You never know the whole story.

[@arisofi95]

Renata Goodley OMG cant believe someone could ask that?! How horrible

[@iramakhtar4070]

I'm with my husband now coming to 10 years, I was raped before him by my ex, had no choice but to have an abortion as I was never going to marry him. When I married my lovely husband still with him presently 3 miscarriages in my marriage. Now iv got endometriosis and cant have any suffering monthly, people ask why I dont have children being married this long a decade, they say if wasted time they dont know my story or pain iv been through physical and emotional people never think before they speak. I may never have a baby of my own in my arms making me feel less of a lady unfulfilled they make me feel. It hurts when people look and ask. My arms are empty and my heart broken but people judge before knowing anything about what's happened and happening, all based on assumptions. I prey to God maybe a miracle happens one day for us or we can adopt a child if not will just have to have many cats and become a cat lady. As it can be so lonely deafening silence in the house.

[@msp-wo6dw]

Omg this is so horrible for you and for this little boy... some people don't get what the adoption is about

[@lauracovi8664]

Renata Goodley i wish more people who could, would consider adoption. The suffering children (of any age) of the world need caring & loving adoptive parents like yourselves. Adoption is such a beautiful mutual gift.

[@fshonuff]

I was adopted from India in the early 80’s to a Caucasian family. I say that because it’s quite obvious that I look nothing like my parents and my brothers (who are biologically my parents). The questions and comments kids would say to me, and even adults to myself and my parents were and still are atrocious. “You aren’t your parents REAL kid”. Or to my parents, “how can you love a kid that isn’t really yours?” 🙄 then there was the time my dentist made a joke to my mother while I was getting my teeth cleaned..”her dad must be the mailman”. People have no tact, and no respect, and have no concept of love. Bless you and your child for the family you have found in each other! The adopted community is so special and I’m proud to be a part of it.

[@carmvalencia2168]

“I need to shake it off before Steven gets home” really hit home. I’ve taken countless tests behind my husband, it’s hard enough to be disappointed, feeling “broken” and to see it in your husbands face too I just rather not. Desi don’t give up, I’m 37 years old and after almost 10 years of trying and nothing I was finally able to get pregnant, I’m currently 34 weeks. It’s was a long lonely road but it was all worth it. You too (and so many others ) will have your happy ending. Have faith. You’ll get there too!

[@liltiggergirl316]

Congrats!!! I struggled as well and I’m currently 6 weeks. I know I still have a long way to go but I have faith. All in his will 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@erika_velazco]

Congratulations! Wishing you a happy & healthy delivery ❤️

[@debbie12346]

[@carmvalencia2168]

Erika Velazco Thank You!

[@Ramzz3g]

This is why I feel as a society overall we should stop asking women questions like “when are you planning on having babies?” no one truly knows what goes on behind closed doors. Praying for you and any other women that are struggling. ❤️

[@misztori]

E R I C K A THIS!!! 🖤🖤😭😭🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@beautyfab8047]

[@badnameC]

couldnt agree more! also, not everyone wants kids, like myself and i wish people would stop asking because there are so many reasons behind it

Yes!! This needs to be said!! 💜💙

[@crissalvino]

E R I C K A sooo true!!! 🙌🏼💖

[@Van_M]

I’m praying that you have the opportunity to become a mother. I tried for 10 years. I went to four different doctors, did multiple fertility treatments, cried a lot, took a million pregnancy tests, had every kind of emotion. Nothing worked. We couldn’t afford IVF so we had to stop. It never happened for me. I never got pregnant. I hope you find something that works for you and that you find peace and happiness.

[@Dbubblesss28]

I’m a Fertility Nurse here in So Cal and I appreciate your openness. People don’t talk about fertility issues due to shame and being vulnerable but So many women struggle with this. You will get pregnant and your miracle baby will come 💜 All of this suffering will soon be erased with the pure joy of your baby In your arms. Good luck on this journey!

Thanks for comment, I have been going through this long journey and still hoping a little one after 6 ivf tries.

[@kikivonmolsa]

I am not ashamed, but people who don't go through years of infertility treatment just can't understand

[@Mckenziemoore777]

The “ I need to shake it off before Steven gets home “ hit hard ! Most will not understand you don’t want to get their hopes up as much as you do, SO we test in secret and don’t say anything unless good news . It’s such a lonely period !

[@ThePerkins]

🥺😭❤️

[@elizabethgregory]

:( awww

[@Mckenziemoore777]

The Perkins thank you for sharing ! 🥰

[@monkleyface]

Definitely. My husband was so broken up over our miscarriage that it was hard for me to show my own heartbreak. It’s not that he wouldn’t have been supportive and comforting, but I just couldn’t add my grief to his.

[@abarby777]

Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotional experience. Sending hugs your way and hope this journey ends with some babies very soon. Like you said timing is everything, God will send your babies when is the right time I’m sure. You’ll both will be such loving parents! Wish you the best, love you guys

Emily i think they anounced at the same day cause it was on mothers day on insta and here it was too

[@lupita916]

My parents tried to have a baby for 10 years. They tried adopting, but did not qualify for it. After 1 failed IVF attempt, they did one more, my dad said if this one doesn’t work out, he’s done trying. Not too long after, they got the call saying they were pregnant with me. Timing is everything, I am here because of my parents struggle and journey.

[@beautyfab8047]

Very nice story ✨🙂👍🏼

[@justynawisniewska1213]

Crazy that adoption was more expensive than IVF :o

[@lupita916]

Justyna Wisniewska My parents didn’t make enough to qualify for adoption, but they were able to afford IVF because they qualified for a program that cut the cost by 50%. Also, not sure if it was just cheaper in general during the 90s?

[@indhirasanchez3645]

There’s no words for women going through infertility, I have had 3 miscarriages. Im currently pregnant with my miracle baby and it took 4 pregnancies and 2 years of trying to get here, Desi I pray for you and ask God to give you a child. Im gonna tell you what my mom told me when I found out I was pregnant for the fourth time “entregaselo a Dios, put your child in God’s hands and ask him to protect his child and to let it be your child”. I hope with all my heart that you get pregnant soon, God’s timing is perfect, I know how hard it is but you got this mama💙

[@christinaleask3554]

My brother n sis in law tried for 10years, in the end they went ivf but it turns out she had an auto immune that was undiagnosed that essentially prevented her from getting pregnant, the ivf worked after the autoimmune was corrected and theyve since had a natural conception Desi and Steven, you WILL have your baby, that bundle of joy is waiting for the perfect time to come into your lives Thank you for sharing your journey, I know it’s incredibly personal and you’re both so brave for exposing this raw and heartbreaking time of your parenting journey

[@lopeznayeli69]

Christina Leask do you mean after the autoimmune disease was treated? Sorry don’t mean to be a Karen, I have an autoimmune disease and they are permanent but can be treated. Don’t want people to think it can be corrected as most as very serious and painful like mine.

[@antoniag6622]

NLo i think she meant starting a treatment and goind under remission. Also there is a disease called antiphospholipidic syndrome that causes blood clotting and spontanous abortion and has got treatment

[@lopeznayeli69]

Hayley Joe yeah they all have some type of treatment. Doesn’t work a lot of the times but there are options. I knew what she meant. Just had to correct her wording so she’ll know along with others. There is no correcting an autoimmune disease, but they can be treated. No biggie, constructive criticism.

[@christinaleask3554]

NLo I understand autoimmune, my daughter has celiacs disease My sis in laws was specific to pregnancy, her body attacking the embryo as a foreign body as soon as it implanted, and yes, this particular AI has been corrected, I can’t recall the name of it but it’s done and dusted

[@antoniag6622]

NLo It is interesting though that during the pregancy the immune system lowers it’s natural defense due to the fetus (so that it doesn’t produce antibodies against the baby).

I think the level of care Desi puts into her garden and plants 🌱 is a beautiful metaphor of a mother nurturing her embryo.

Katherine Hernandez This comment > 😭😭💕

[@katherinehernandez8679]

Sam GG Sam GG I think you need to look back at my comment and realize I never used the term Mother Nature. I said DESI nurturing her plants was a beautiful metaphor to me of how she would nurture her child (embryo). Bearing children is a part of nature, and in the human species only females can carry child. Natures gender was not and is not something I lose sleep on.

[@jenniivibes]

I was five months pregnant with my first pregnancy after trying for a year, went into early birth and had to give birth to my stillborn baby boy. Losing Ziad was so hard, especially knowing he was a boy and even planing a baby shower for the future. Doctors said I could not hold a full term pregnancy and my world shattered. With prayer guess what, my son Joeziah, my only child (I am scared to try for more) is 11 years old. Please don’t lose hope Desi. Sigue adelante.

The worst part is watching these crime shows during quarantine and thinking wow some of these people don't deserve to have kids, but then those like you said who would KILL THE MOM AND DAD GAME aren't as lucky. Unfair world we're in, really unfair. I hope they're happy in this process though.

[@tamikaadams1341]

I don’t think there’s a couple that’s more deserving of this. My heart goes out to you both. Xx

[@carolinaleal8925]

[@jemsopp7125]

This is such a good documentary. I especially appreciate how Steven’s journey is included. I think people forget about the father in a miscarriage or during infertility treatments. I also love to see how you two are supporting each other. This had to be very difficult to share, but I honestly think it will help so many others going through this too.

[@nataliebernal1685]

It’s crazy how someone I never met or doesn’t even know I exist, made me cry so damn hard. Desi thank you for sharing your journey. I hope this series ends with a miracle you both deserve 💙

[@GretchenV95]

Not discounting Steven and his own strength through all of this but maaan... the strength of a woman is unmeasurable. To go through all this and still film videos, still go to events, still do your job.. I love you, Desi. ❤️

[@winnyj6806]

If I had a nickel every time someone told me “not to think about it” or “as soon as you stop trying, it will happen” ughhhh I’d be rich. I do my best to not ever say those things to a woman trying to get pregnant.

[@emcharette5933]

Crossing my fingers and praying that the last episode of this journey comes with a positive test and baby Perkins. You are both SO deserving. Don't give up xoxox

I know there’s over 3k comments and you won’t see this but I just wanted to say that this was the first video in a long time (since the start of lockdown) I’ve actually watched as soon as I saw the notification and was actually engaged for the whole 30 mins! Thankyou so much for your vulnerability and your honesty. I don’t know what you’re going through but it’s like I feel the pain you’re experiencing and I SO want this to be a happy ending for you. I want this so bad for you more than I want my own kids! I don’t know you and you don’t know me but I feel such a connection to you and your family. Desi and Steven, I send you nothing but love and hope 💞 No one deserves this more than you xo

Vanessa Luu I think so too because I remember in one of her videos she mentioned she had recorded the day she told Steven she was pregnant back in 2013 but didn’t know if she will ever show that . I’m praying it’s because they will have a blessing coming their way and they are able to help a lot of people 🙏

I have never seen two people more deserving of a child. I will pray that you get your miracle and more! Thank you for bringing us with you on this journey. It’s so private and intimate I couldn’t imagine how you and Steven must feel. Love and happiness to you both! 💕

[@45sylwunia]

This was so tough to watch because it was like watching and hearing myself. Infertility is the hardest thing I’ve had to go through. It changed me completely. I was at my lowest point mentally. Month after month year after year. It will tear you apart and you feel so alone. The emotional damage is indescribable. The obsession with test taking and evaluating every single symptom! I know it all too well. All I can say is I know exactly what your going through and although it feels like your so alone in this there is so so many women going through the same. Unfortunately we just don’t hear about it enough. But... it happened for us and we have a beautiful 18 month old baby boy named Noah! He was all worth it! The journey may be hard but the reward is all worth it. I wish you strength because I know you need it❤️

[@krystlej400]

It took us 7 years to get pregnant. I wish you guys the best on your journey.

[@jackieb5107]

I started tearing up as soon as Steven started talking 🥺 I think most of us empathize with the woman but it’s really inspiring hearing Steven point of view and how men deal with issues like this, it’s just as important as us women since they are in fact going thru the same problem. I’m soo happy for this series because I can feel there’s a baby at the end of the series and I’m praying for it. Since you Desi opened up about it in your main channel I always pray for you, I know you’re going to be amazing parents, God is good! 🙏🏻👶🏻💖

[@sunnybains7638]

Wow. Such an emotional video. We had 8 years of failed clomid and iui’s. Then 5 rounds of IVF, got pregnant every time but miscarried each time, one was at over 5 months. Finally threw in the towel and August and miraculously got pregnant in September. Hang in there, I feel your pain so much. I know what it’s like to have people tell u not to worry about it when it’s all you think about. .......................... but just hang in there🙏🏼❤️

[@aysenuralbayrak7033]

I just want to say that my mother tried for 8 years, did the 'medical way' a couple of times and eventually had to hear from a doctor that she would never get pregnant. A few months after that meeting, she got pregnant 'naturally' and has 3 girls now. Do not lose hope Desi! The moment you will get pregnant, you will have the most beautiful kids one after another

[@nataliemanukyan1671]

It boggles my mind, there’s some people that are able to have babies no problem & don’t want them or can’t appreciate a beautiful baby (not all but I speak for some) or when you hear horrific stories on the news that women don’t want their baby 😔 And people like yourself that would be amazing parents have this type of difficulties to have a precious angel. I wish you the best of luck with your journey ❤️

My hairdresser who is in her 40s tried for years and years with her husband, every fertility treatment she did it. They were told that she couldn't have children and to stop getting their hopes up. At age 43 she became pregnant naturally! She now has a beautiful, healthy 3 year old girl and is happier than ever. Things will work out for the best eventually I'm sure!! Much love to both of you ❤️❤️

remember to be sensitive with your comments I see a lot of people posting comments that are insensitive don’t make assumptions about anything until they announce it, it’s as almost as some of you don’t realize that they are so brave for sharing and the pressure some are adding is the opposite of you’re supposed to do, offer support not assumptions or insensitive advice

Judy Duran I love this comment. I wish people would understand this.

[@amandahelloo]

i am undone. you are so strong. even in your weakest moments you’ve recorded i still see so much strength. i cover you and steven in a blanket of prayer and comfort. we have had difficulty as well not even on the trying side, but with our odds of being able to become pregnant. my husband had testicular cancer and had to go through 4 rounds of chemo which is said to greatly lessen our chance. your story encourages me so much and i’m praying and believing for a miracle alongside your amazing doctor’s work. love you, desi. also - i got to meet you and steven back during the squad tour when you came to dallas - i’ll never forget that day and how for only literally 60 seconds of meeting you, you felt like a long lost friend 💗 so much love for you.

[@LivforLu]

The video of her telling Steven she’s pregnant always brings me to tears😔

[@BClanBeauty]

I am so sorry. My grandmother told me that she couldn’t have children for 8 years after marriage. She ended up have 9 pregnancies and 6 live children. My mom was her last baby at 40! I am keeping you and Steven in my prayers. I know it’s not always comforting to hear this but I want you to know that I am praying. 💖🇨🇦

[@lindseyeast6724]

I know you’ll never see this, but I said the same thing when you let us know you guys were struggling. My friend & her husband tried for TWELVE years with not a single pregnancy. Her sisters had babies, and still nothing for her. She told me she knew that when God gave one of her sisters a girl (they had all boys) she knew it wasn’t in it for her to be a mom. Kristy is now a mom of 2 gorgeous girls, her sisters have all boys. I was terrified the worst would happen to her but she told me “My God didn’t bring me this far to rob me of my joy”. God is not bringing you this far without making the joy and reward greater than you ever imagined. I can’t wait to see you as a mom.

[@gabrielerainee]

This made me cry because we have been trying for 11 years.. so many times I've given up and thought this just isn't meant to be but this gave me just a little hope ❤ thank you for sharing

Words can’t express how much I look up to you. Steven: You are the man. You are so encouraging in everything that Desi does and I’m always in awe how supportive you are. You’re genuinely an amazing soul. God bless you both. Love you!

[@ddorn04]

We went over 7 years trying to have children. Multiple surgeries to remove polyps, low motility on my part, we prayed our church prayed god answered that prayer. My wife conceived on the second round of fertility shots. We had the best Obstetrician she was with us every step of the way. The second month of pregnancy she started bleeding, we thought we had lost the pregnancy. One of the three babies did not survive. It turned out to be a blessing. In the end my wife was put in the hospital, could not find my sons heartbeat, finally found it after working for almost an hour. Csection next day, they are now 15, super smart and capable fifteen year old twins. It will happen in Gods time, pray without ceasing, if one door closes another will open.

I struggled with infertility too. We tried for more than 2 years. Every cycle was a cocktail of drugs and injections, figuring out what would make me ovulate and what didn’t, finding the right combination of drugs that my body would respond to, the crazy weight gain, the rollercoaster of emotions, taking various natural supplements, fertility massages or “natural healing”, going through procedures to check my ovaries, altering my lifestyle... I’ve been there too and it’s so so hard. Every month a disappointment. And seeing my friends/peers/relatives fall pregnant so easily..... I couldn’t deal with it. I would cry and cry and ask God why not me too, why is it so hard for me? But when we least expected it, we fell pregnant and now we have a beautiful baby girl. I wish you all the best in your journey. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.

You are so brave and strong, I know your baby will come. Hang in there desi & sven🦋

[@BreannaGilbert47]

I am a fertility nurse in Oklahoma. I think it’s awesome that you are sharing your story. I hope that by more people talking about their struggles with infertility, it will remove the negative stigma that surrounds it. Infertility is nothing to be ashamed of. Keep your head up. The biggest advice I can give is to understand that infertility treatment is different for every person. Some get pregnant on their first IUI cycle and some go through 4-6 cycles of IUI without success and resort to IVF. It will happen for y’all and you are going to be awesome parents. Never give up and keep sharing your story!!!
