My daughter went through IVF after trying for 7 years to conceive, you are correct when you say at least you don’t have to go through the ups and downs of testing and procedures. I must say IVF is not for the faint of heart and takes both of you to work together on this journey. You must remember the prize at the end of the process, we now have two beautiful grandchildren that were both IVF babies. I am grateful for the science that makes this possible. You can do this, together!!

Wishing you and Hayden the absolute best of luck on your IVF journey! My husband and I also went through IVF due to male factor infertility. I am pretty needlephobic, so the entire IVF process was incredibly daunting, but I think you will find that you are even stronger than you realize. The entire process brought my husband and I closer than ever, and I wouldn't change a thing about our journey. I was the same age as you are when we started the IVF process, and just a few weeks after I turned 29, my sweet baby boy was born. He turns two next week, and we are about to undergo our second round of IVF this summer to hopefully give him a little sibling. Sending you all of the strength, good vibes and baby dust - you've got this! 😊❤

My sis in law had leukemia as a kid and had to do IVF too. It was hard for them, they found other couples doing the same and formed strong bonds and friendships with them and now that they are on the other side, having their first baby and they have the embryos for their next babies, they are so thrilled and wonderful parents. This is my hope for you two, that your hearts have peace and you are able to form your family that you long for. Thank you for sharing, that was incredibly brave. Sending love.

I cried at any mention of my dog for three weeks. That was 3 years ago- I still get random updates on his well being and I’m glad I took the time necessary to make sure he had a really good home.

Thank you so much for talking about your struggles to conceive and about Hayden’s health history. My husband and I have a similar story; he has chronic end stage renal disease and had his first kidney transplant at 12 after two years of dialysis. He had his second transplant in 2012 and may be needing his third here soon. We tried to get pregnant for about a year before deciding to go through testing and the doctors have come to the conclusion that his anti-rejection medication has caused his “load” count to be low which is why we haven’t conceived. We tried IUI twice to no success and are now at the stage where IVF is our only option. But with his kidney health declining we feel like trying to juggle that along with IVF would be too hard. I really appreciate you being so honest and vulnerable about it. Also, I am working on a novel as well and will be participating in NaNo and would love to see writing updates from you if you don’t have the mental capacity for full writing vlogs.

I’m so sorry about the situation with Pickles. My cat is five and he is the love of my life. He had some general aggression when he was 1.5ish and it was suggested to us to get a kitten so that they could play together and kind of redirect his energy. We got a kitten (named her Pepper ❤) and for a whole week, none of us slept. We thought we had introduced them well enough but we didn’t. My cat would hunt this kitten constantly. He wouldn’t leave her alone. We’d keep her in a bathroom separate from him while we were at work and then try to engage them more. Pepper started having some bathroom issues and was clearly terrified. We felt she didn’t deserve to live like that. We rehomed her to a friend who had a cat from the same litter my cat was from. She settled right in and is so loved. I think my cat may just need to be the only cat. We got a puppy who is now 2.5 and my cat doesn’t super love him but tolerates him.

Just want to say best of luck to ye both on your journey with IVF - I really hope it works out well for the two of you. I'm sorry to hear what you have been going through with both the IVF news and Pickles' sad departure. I really admire you for trying your hardest and recognising that it wasn't fair on anyone to continue as was. That really takes another level of strength and maturity, and truly a case of 'if you love them let them go'. You're a very responsible pet owner and clearly so full of love and care! Happy to hear you can still get updates, and I really hope that your heart is filled with some adorable kittens in the near future! In lighter news I am so hyped for more lifestyle content from you! I'll literally watch anything you put out, I actually had no interest in romance books when I first subscribed to you (I am now very interested in romance books lol), so i'll truly just watch you for you! Lastly I'm from Ireland and would gladly give tons of recommendations! Definitely visit the west of Ireland (Galway) if you can, it's a lot more cultural and Connemara is visually stunning - but I won't bombard you with recs until youre planning something. The UK is stunning too and London is always a fun time, we're eloping to the highlands next year so I can definitely recommend Scotland too!

Sending so much positive energy your way! And I related to your situation with Pickles so much! I had the exact same situation a few years ago with a previous cat. Got her as a kitten and she was great with my other, older cat until she hit 1.5 years old and suddenly did a 180 and was brutally attacking him every chance she got. I did all the same things you mentioned and also talked to a cat behavioralist in my area who told me that there are definitely cases where cats just can’t be re-introduced no matter what you do. After keeping them separated for months in a one bedroom apartment (which was stressful af for all three of us) I made the heart breaking decision to rehome her. I feel so hard for you going through that because even though you know they’re in a less stressful home, it’s hard not to internalize it as a personal failure (even tho it’s totally not). I was someone who always swore I’d never get rid of an animal no matter what and it was hard to realize that wasn’t true after all, so my heart goes out to you. We both did way more than the average person would in that situation, and in the long run you did what was best for the kitties even at the expense of your own emotions ❤

Thank you for sharing your infertility journey. ♥️ My husband and I are also going through male factor infertility and it sucks, but it is nice when you finally gets some answers and can make a plan on how to move forward. Wishing you and Hayden lots of luck! 🍀✨
