[@Im_InMy_BWUR]

I am so loving Nikol the Vlogger it is like traveling along with you as you about your day and getting to discover more about you.

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you

You need a good Acupuncturist!!

[@cherryblossom194]

We wish you good health Nicole. You’re a GREAT woman ❤❤❤

[@elizabethruggiero9950]

Oh, Nikol… I feel you. I was 44 and EVERY doctor told me my menopause was in my head. I’m a nurse, and IVF is a cash business that devastates families. I finally found a wonderful doctor (I’m in Cleveland) who listened. You are dead on. You are your best advocate! 💝

[@NikolJohnson]

totally agree! You MUST advocate for yourself.

[@ChlariePeace]

[@librariangal]

Oh Nikol, listening to your story, you are my hero and you are beautiful and God did open so many windows for you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@NikolJohnson]

Yes, God did open up so many amazing windows for myself and my husband and we are truly blessed and thankful.

[@queeniequeenie2018]

Thanks for sharing your days with us! So refreshing to see real life happening!

[@NikolJohnson]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@lindahoffman2692]

Nikol, “I’m gonna make it Work” is SO indicative of your Philosophy, which is so inspiring because on the surface your life can look unattainably PERFECT but you are incredibly BRAVE about sharing the very real Challenges you deal with! Than you for being YOU! ❤️❤️💕🌹

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you I feel it’s so important even though it’s hard for me to be vulnerable with such personal information. I know for helps other women

[@lindahoffman2692]

It is a Tremendous help to us all because we al too often feel we’re the ONLY one grappling with issues as Women which can feel so isolating. And as you say the medical “ industry” all too often MARGINALIZES us in a kind of gaslighting, and sharing is KEY to keeping us a Community! We have a Voice and we have Buying Power that together as Women make us a Force and YOU are definitely a FORCE, Hon!! ❤️❤️💕🌹

[@MarilynR-nq7no]

I enjoy all of your videos and vlogs. You are an inspiration for all women on so many levels. Thank you for being my inspiration!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you

[@lindahoffman2692]

I just LOVE your Weekly Blogs and look forward to “visiting” with you, Nikol, because that’s what you make it feel like!! Wonderful! ❤️❤️💕🌹

Yay! Thank you!

[@doudou53d44]

I like these vlogs so much, its like sitting with you cosy and just chatting away ! I had endometriosis also, I am 70 now but can still feel it some days, but nothing to compared to what it was. I luckily could conceive one daughter, that I am very proud of, but she has endometriosis also, but treated now. You are so right to say that no one else but you can feel what is going on.

[@lindahoffman2692]

I suffered with Endometriosis for YEARS until I finally entered menopause. I had laser surgery (laparoscopy) twice as treatment (not a cure for others dealing with it) which gave some relief but it was completely DEBILITATING, and as I later found out, resulted in my Infertility of which I was unaware for YEARS because no one told me!! I so understand what you’ve been through, dear Nikol, and you were SO right to take back Agency over your Life!! We should all share our HARD WON experiences as Women to help each other as much as possible because as you said all too often NO ONE CARES and it’s a Lonely journey!! ❤️❤️🌹

[@NikolJohnson]

I totally agree I am sorry that you have had a hard time with endometriosis also it’s a big nightmare but happy you are though it now

[@lindahoffman2692]

❤️❤️🌹😇

[@mariaprice5972]

Ditto, mine stopped at 50 was my last menstrual however, now dealing with menopause for the last 13 years, trying to see if I can get on some HRT‘s here in Florida. It’s hard to find a good doctor.

Beautiful, kind post.

[@beecharmervideo]

I so loved this VLOG. So raw, so angry when speaking of the IVF and the medical establishment. I love how honest and just the contained fury. I love that you took your power and so unapologetically. I just loved the honesty and it mirrors how I feel sometimes. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@myrasencibaugh7086]

I really do enjoy watching you. You are so real, honest and just a lovely person inside and out. Your beauty just shines through in all you do so I thank you so so much for just being an open person. God bless you!

[@karenfreedman9180]

I too suffered with debilitating cramps when I was a teenager and throughout. Then endometriosis in my 30s. So many treatments and surgeries. I finally convinced my GYN to do a hysterectomy at 45! Best thing ever!

[@melissatolito9418]

Let me say I feel your story. No matter what we go through, no matter how long ago, we still carry the sadness to some degree, of what should have, could have been. I will be 57 this Friday, I was divorced 23 plus years ago, and I was left with a brand new home, mortgage and a 3 year old son, who is my life. I am a fighter, I am a Winner..I’m still in my home we built, and I am self supportive, God is in control…😊

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you for sharing

[@trishagreen1349]

Omg, I'm so happy I found this channel!! I'm new to watching KZbin channels for skincare and self care. I finally found a women my age that is fashionable and real. I love you! I really wish I had a friend like you right now. Thank you for sharing your life with us. :)

[@lorifarina646]

God allows trials so that we ultimately can help others. You are a strong, intelligent woman and you are helping other women both in IVF issues and inspiring the rest of us to be our best selves no matter what we go through! I so enjoy your posts and videos! Don’t ever stop. I know I will continually to watch. God bless you now & always!

[@NikolJohnson]

Thank you I agree God did put the IVF in our lives to grow, become stronger, inspire other women through my journey, and become closer to God through this struggle.

[@trishbech9082]

❤ First off, sending you a huge hug, and huge amounts of respect for you sharing parts of your life that include being vulnerable. It’s so loving to think of others, even during your own struggles, and desiring to help them by sharing the details - even the bad side of it all. I don’t think you realize how courageous and rare it is to find someone who not only shares what they’ve gone through, but someone who genuinely desires to help others. Also, standing up for yourself was also huge! It’s so easy to succomb to the thinking that medical professionals know it all… and “know” you as well. It’s a sad truth of what the medical system has become. I have my own experiences of disappointing and life changing consequences I’m still trying to figure out for believing they had my best interest at heart. Also, just to note, my periods got super bad and heavy just before hitting the “sporadic” phase of super light ones and then finally menopause. Great fun! 😬 Love your video. You’re so good at editing your footage Nikol! I was curious about the daily devotional guide so I looked it up lol looked really great, so I ordered one on Amazon. ❤ Fun to see the background of your photoshoots. We never know the tricks and techniques that are involved to get that finished, polished pic! It is work! I only ever helped with dog photo shoots, hours fly by and you are exhausted afterwards. Glad to see you had such a fantastic day on the fourth. Being totally mellow in the midst of busy weeks is totally heaven! Thanks again for sharing such a great blog Nikol! 😊

[@dlj548]

Nikol, I love watching your vlogs. I think you have such a positive attitude even thou life doesn't always go smoothly. I also love your style in clothing. You are very classy and sophisticated.

[@PureJoySkinCareWaxStudio]

Another beautiful Vlog, Nikol. You took us on a little journey behind the scenes. So fun and educational. ❤ As a licensed esthetician, I took note that you mentioned to your viewers NOT to touch the dropper to ones fingers or face. Influencers are doing this ALL OF THE TIME, and it just makes me nuts. Bravo from one esthetician to another.

[@NikolJohnson]

Yes!!!!!! So many “influencers” have no clue on skin care and hygiene 😘😘

[@PureJoySkinCareWaxStudio]

@NikolJohnson It's frustrating and annoying and disappointing. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@cherylpoppa5015]

I absolutely love the new format of your Vlog! What a treat it is to go behind the scenes as you take us through your day! It really brought a new freshness to your channel!

You are so down to earth and real, which I really appreciate. We all have our stories and by you sharing some of yours, I can relate with you and I'm sure many other woman do too.

Except for IVF, your story is my story. I finally had surgery for endometriosis and it was a relief! I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that! I’m happy you stood up for yourself and for what you wanted for your health.

[@mariefraher8725]

I am sorry to hear about the horrible pain you have suffered. It is generous of you to share what you have been through with others. I am 72 and going through back issues. I almost had major surgery, but it was stopped in a pre op due to another issue. Subsequently, got three more opinions all stating that surgery would not solve my problem. For the last three years, I have been in severe pain and now use a roller to walk. I can walk and swim in my pool with minimum pain. However, I miss traveling, walking, the beach etc. I am glad I got several opinions. I am headed for another procedure and am hopeful. Your advice is so important. Do your research. Thanks for your vlogs. Also, I love your pups!
