TRYING TO CONCEIVE Baby #2 | Are these pregnancy symptoms? How am I really feeling?

[@fredrije1]

Proud of you for recognizing how you’ve been feeling, talking to Char about it, and taking an action that feels right. I’m so glad we used ovulation strips, a little science helped ease my mind.

[@jortega4894]

It’s so hard to be patient when you know the blessings a baby truly is! 🥰 I’m 35 & I am 30 weeks today with my first baby GIRL! Sendin all the patience & baby dust y’all’s way! 💖

[@sherylAA]

ALLIE :) Taking tests kept me aware of my body more and I was able to conceive a baby with less stress, and with less stress I conceived very fast. Relax you got this Momma! HUGS

[@jackielilly5866]

It’s adorable how you get tense and Modest when talking about getting “stressed with daily vlogs.” I hope you guys are having fun and I’m sending you literally all of my fertility vibes. I’m 20 with a 1 y/o expecting my 2nd in March. Take allllll of my fertility. You are so beautiful and I hope you don’t take things out on yourself too much. You glow without being pregnant, not many women do so remember that.❤

[@EricMVlogs]

Happy Birthday Allie. I wish everyone a happiest of birthday's and also, I believe that no matter what age we turn in 2023 that everyone should celebrate it in any way that they can and do it the best that they want to with friends and family. It should be celebrated in an awesome way.

Praying for baby #2! Baby dust both our ways 💕🧚‍♂️🧚‍♂️✨✨✨✨

[@staceybauer7568]

Awww Allie, stay strong! I completely understand as I’ve been through secondary infertility. We did all of the fertility testing and tried IUI twice which didn’t work. In the end it was Chinese medicine and acupuncture that worked for my body. Different things work for different people and it takes time to figure out which method is best for you, your body and your situation. I’m glad you are trying not to put too much pressure on yourself and that you are talking about it! It will help you and lots of others who may need support. Be kind to yourself and trust in the universe, it will all work out the way it’s supposed to! ❤

[@KarlaCulbertson]

Hey Allie, stay patient, sweetie! We will be as excited as you and Charles when the time comes!!

[@phoenix1391]

Month 1 of TTC on baby #2 was disappointing because we just used my period tracker as when to have the best chance based on periods like we did with baby #1. It wasn't that simple the second time around. Month 2 TTC we just tried as soon as my period was over every 2-3 days hoping to catch ovulation. If it didn't work we were going to try the ovulation strips. It worked! 14 weeks pregnant now. Your TTC journey is still ongoing but just know that one day it will end with a positive test! There are online TTC chat groups that help with support or ideas. They helped me not be too bummed out that first month. You got this! Positive vibes!!

[@ida.rose181]

knowledge is power! wishing you the best on the journey to baby #2.

[@marisolcalderon37]

I’ve never been in your shoes so i don’t know exactly how you feel but i understand your feelings. hoping everything falls into place🤞🏽❤️

[@kishka7]

Incidentally your channel banner photo is miraculously beautiful!

[@aleahstefanowski5474]

Allie! Thank you for being so candid and sharing some vulnerable moments with us it takes huge courage. I wish you and Charles the best of luck and just want you to know that not being able to conceive does not make you any less of a woman! Most of the women in my family have had issues conceiving. Again sending you and Charles the best of luck and remaining hopeful that things work out for you both💛💛

[@sunwarrior5999]

Thank you so much Allie for sharing your journey! My husband & I aren't trying to conceive currently because I'm in school, but we will in a year & a half. & let me tell you...the sadness that I cannot have a baby when I'm already 30 & married & emotionally ready is really really really really hard. My sister is currently pregnant with my second nephew, & while OF COURSE I'm happy for her & happy to have another addition to the family, I would be lying if I didn't admit that it's been hard. The baby shower especially was difficult for me because I just wanted it to be mine already lol. Anyways, I've been honest with my husband & my sister, & it has made me feel a lot better, but this video unexpectedly made me cry & feel a little more at ease that I'm not alone. Can't wait for the update & sending you all my positive vibes/juju hahaha!

[@musiclover23wvu]

Love you guys! Good luck! And I'm glad you're getting yourself some little presents. I have been trying to allow myself to treat myself as well. It's honestly hard to get things for myself out of the blue. But its important.

[@capriarias1398]

Yes! I am feeling the same way in our journey to baby #2. Thank you for sharing how you all are feeling.

[@TinkerbellKat]

Tracking ovulation is helpful! My husband and I were just winging it when we tried to conceive our son and it was 5 months of negative tests, then I learned about tracking my ovulation and the next month we were pregnant! Good luck!

[@hannahvenneman7440]

We were trying for years for it to 'happen naturally' with no results. Finally started using digital ovulation tests and it happened within 3 cycles. I discovered I actually ovulate slightly later in my cycle than the average. Wish we'd tried them sooner to save all those months of sadness and disappointment. Good luck on your journey!!

[@johannav48]

Hi! We are TTC baby #2 and you are right, WE GOT THIS!!!

[@kelaurice]

I wish the best for you guys! I used ovulation strips to get pregnant and it worked the first month. They can be kinda wonky and hard to decipher sometimes though, so my advice is to keep testing ovulation every day, even if you think you've already ovulated. I thought I had ovulated around day 13 of my cycle but I kept testing anyway and I ended up ovulating on day 21! Much later than I expected. I also read that sometimes you can ovulate twice in a month. I also read that the average healthy couple trying to conceive only has a 30% of conceiving during a cycle, so try not to be too hard on yourself for not getting pregnant as soon as you'd like. It just takes time!

[@JayFoxFire]

I don't know how it feels to have a baby since I am never married. I wish you the best. I'm sure it'll happen in its own time. :)

[@melissa-Ann]

You got this!! 👍 It will happen in its own time. Ya know, stress can do A LOT of things, including having trouble conceiving. Just gotta let go and let live and leave things be. Looking at those little "windows" to see if you're pregnant or not is a mind twist of sorts. It will happen when it happens and when you least expect it. In the meantime, don't beat yourselves up or get yourselves bogged down. ((Lord knows this isn't build a baby 101 and reading a manual of how to conceive. Sheez!!! Give yourselves some slack here!! 💙)) Relax and do something special for yourselves and if that means putting down the camera (did I dare type that you do), then you do. Go, do something fun. Go on. Are you seriously still reading this post? 🤔

[@dazzlingdee1694]

All good things come to those who wait. 🙏🤞 Good things have always happened to me when I wasn't trying to make them happen. Kind of how Remi came into your lives. ❤️

[@bravepotato1305]

patience... you've got this. much love from Kauai

[@SharlaBoBarla]

I get the emotional and jealousy of people being pregnant. I can’t have children. I had PCOS which lead to cancer and then had a total hysterectomy. I do get to raise my niece and nephew BUT it doesn’t make it any less sad or angry because I can’t have children of my own. You guys will get there! Your feelings are so valid!

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

You got it allie.

[@Dime.Society]

I’m almost 36 and I’m pregnant as well, I knew something was different with my body before the test even turned positive.

[@jenny07110]

If you have the tools, use them! I look forward to your future pregnancy vlogs. :) Happy baby making!

[@Itsanewday7]

Trying to conceive as well, so I’m with you!! ❤️

[@Stephrp613]

I think it's a great idea Allie, it may take a bit of pressure off of you by taking the ovulation strips. You can see the disappointment in your face when those tests are negative of course you want them to be positive and that can become frustrating every month. Try and stay patient and don't let it play too much on your mind I know.. easier said than done. Have lots of fun and hopefully soon you will be on your way to getting Remi a brother or sister! *fingers crossed*

[@crystalfob]

Yes track your ovulation. I never tried the strips etc. Tracking worked for us.

[@krystalgodwin2513]

I think it’s a great decision to try the ovulation strips now because I think it’s really good to just learn your body and learn when you do normally ovulate and things like that, it can be very helpful. And then once you know that you don’t have to really document it anymore. ❤️ hopefully it’ll really help 😊🥰 and you’ll get a cute little baby out of it ❤️

[@sarah29880]

First time trying at 35 years old and yeah it’s month four for me of trying and just started my ovulation today. We had sex 6 times this week, but I know that’s obviously not everything. I am dreading the next two weeks just being nervous and possible disappointment at the end of the month (as it also flares my autoimmune to try). BUT i might be more hopeful than most people, I had a lot of health struggles that I got through it with determination and persistence. So this is nowhere near the stress of that just yet haha and anyhow just wanted to say you aren’t alone!!! I am going to a baby shower in august and don’t know how I will feel.

[@sarah29880]

Also I don’t know if you have heard of the fertility tea with red leaf raspberry and nettle (helped to regulate my ovulation ). It increased my sex drive 10 fold almost too much haha

[@thorsonnanc]

42 yrs. ago I was on birth control, when I quit we took precautions for 5 months then started the clock. I did not get pregnant until 14 mo. after quitting the pill. then I had 3 children in 3 1/2 yrs! Relax & enjoy!

[@hildapatrick6359]

I've had nausea and sore boobs during pms before which made me think I might be pregnant. so I know how u felt. It's like an emotional Rollercoaster. Praying for you guys..

[@ihartevil]

i think her body might have been getting ready to conceive and knowing she wants this my guess is like with everybody else the moment she gives up she gets preg on the first time like with remi she never started to try so she gave up before trying

[@beedecay2754]

Hi Allie.. I've been thinking about you and your fertility journey. Are there any updates?

[@JOEYZReAcTiOnMYHOSPICEJOURNEY]

Hello I hope everything is going well with you and your journey I think about you all the time your friend Joey

[@Songwritersbehindthecurtain]

A.lie there’s bots on your channel please you gotta get rid of these bots.

[@maryc7830]

It took me two years to become pregnant with my son Matthew 🦋. I was working 60 hours a week and I was working for a doctor. And the doctor said to me you need your husband to take you away for a while. I took two weeks off from work and went to Marco Island in Florida. Two months later I found out I was pregnant. I had toxemia and placenta previa. So I was a high-risk pregnancy. So when I was seven months I had to take the rest of my pregnancy off. But he came out fine. Now he’s 16 years old. I think you need Charles to take you away. Don’t think so much. Don’t try so hard. Just be you. Much love from Connecticut.

[@ihartevil]

that gets called the trying not trying method the moment that anybody stops trying they get stress free and the baby happens

[@Ambersworld720]

Idk if that company sent you pre-seed but if not I'd definitely look into it

[@ihartevil]

that might mean your body might be trying to get ready to conceive a child sometimes the body does things like that trying to stay stress free the best way to be everybody gets their baby when the time becomes right

You’re an awesome 😎 KZbin channel.

[@Jessicaannharo]

I didn’t want to take the ovulation strips either. So i began tracking my period on an app called Flo. It gives you an estimated date that you’ll experience ovulation. And it was able to conceive.

[@sadie4me2]

It’s gonna happen…..have faith. Please in the meantime, share more about your Kitties. There are many out here that are cat people🙂

[@carol2girls]

As long as you don’t need to go on fertility drugs . It’s harder you have to have sex only on certain days.

[@ihartevil]

the best way to conceive a child try but dont try you are trying way to hard let it happen and dont keep trying you got remi so simply because you conceived her in that way until you try that again i suggest no medical help these tests help in the way you keep trying however they sometimes cause stress and make it so more miscarriages happen and more likely that you do not get preg i know that heykayli got the best success with layla with the try dont try method and she thought the miscarriage meant no more babies until she went with the try dont try method

[@nancywormington6030]

There are women who still get their periods in the beginning of their pregnancy. My friend was one of those women.

[@blakely7353]

When I had a chemical pregnancy I had all the symptoms and it cause my period to start a bit early. Most women don't realized they had one. So it's possible that could have happened with you. When I felt that way with mine I took a test and there was the faintest line

[@sarah29880]

Yeah same thing happened to me too. I got a positive and then got my period

[@blakely7353]

@@sarah29880 I hear often that's it's your body preparing to carry a baby. And I did get pregnant with my son 2 months after that happened. So it can be a good sign!

[@sarah29880]

@@blakely7353 thanks so much! That helps

[@kishka7]

Allie - You and Charles ought to pick an appropriate range of days and leave Remy with your parents or whoever is best - DO NOT FILM - and go away together for REAL quiet time. Don't tell us WHERE or WHEN you are going. Just be gone for 5,6,7 days. By yourselves WITHOUT ANYTHING like filming etc etc.

[@leesa3579]

Just stop trying so hard it sounds like a stress issue!? Good luck

[@smiracle10]

Stop trying. Don't have to much sex.
