I found you from your last vlog and the youtube algorithm must have really been working. I completed a missed miscarriage on 4/18 and finding your video definitely made me feel less alone with everything going on. I hope you start feeling better soon 💕
You definitely don’t need to feel pressured to read in these vlogs. I honestly never watch any vlogs besides reading ones because I’m usually not interested, but you’re the one UA-camr I watch anything from because of your personality. You always make anything you talk about entertaining and cozy ❤ Sending you love!
Hey Chan, just jumping in to say one little thing... I love your videos and your content for YOU. If you are reading cool, if you are not cool, if you are talking about your journey Im here for you, if you dont want to talk about it, thats okay. Dont apologize to us about anything, we enjoy spending this time with you.
Your comment about the best time to get pregnant thing is very relatable. I used to think it was something I could plan. Thought I could get pregnant in January or February for a pregnancy and baby all in one year. It’s so naive. 4 years and tons of fertility treatments later, I am pregnant. Finally. I’ve had a few people tell me I planned poorly with my mid July due date because it will be hot weather. I always comment that I would have thought the same thing before years of infertility, and now I’m just so happy to be having a baby any time of year. It usually shuts people up 😂I don’t think most people mean things negatively but the reality is you cannot choose the timing of these things. And for those that could and had the timing work out for them, I’m happy for them, but we should never assume people didn’t struggle to get where they are!
wow i could have written this! i felt the same way, really really wanted to get pregnant in february or march. my entire family has october & november birthdays so it would have been extra special to have a due date around then AND get pregnancy and birth knocked out in one year. but it's just not something we have control of. i'm so excited for you
@@chandlerainsleyvlogs I just KNOW you’ll get your “whenever baby”. Hopefully sooner rather than later, but they will be here and it really will all be worth it. I’m sorry you’re going through a tough journey to get there. But a few years down the road when your baby is old enough for you to tell them how they got here, they will know just how much they were wanted and loved.
I know you’re not necessarily sharing it for anyone’s sake but your own, but I just wanted to say that I really appreciated your honesty about your mental health. I’ve been struggling with a lot of the same things recently and it was nice to not feel alone (even though I obviously wish neither of us had to feel that way)
I'm sending you so much positive energy and love for you and Haden. I had intention to comment on your vlog about fertility but my scatterbrained nature (love being ND), and as someone who has watched you for going on four or five years now, the way you have shared your journey with us in the last year makes my appreciation for you grown so much. As someone who doesn't share her struggles a lot with people, that is not fertility related but in general, watching your content has started to help me reevaluate what I can do to be honest with myself and how I view my mental health as well as communicating that with others. So, I wanted to thank you and I wanted to show my support for you.
Tracking down the exact potatoes to achieve your breakfast taco dreams has made me feel much closer to you in this parasocial relationship 😂 I absolutely would order 36lbs of potatoes and feel it's a valid form of self soothing.
My husband LOVES his Steamdeck!! I told him Hayden was getting it and he wanted me to share that he also got some glasses that project "like you are seeing it on a big screen TV in front of you" and he loves them too and says it is a great companion purchase! 😊
You’re amazing Chandler ❤ I hope you know it! Also, when I was not vibing my body - linen pants and loose linen blouses/tops that could be short or long sleeve kept me cool and light but covered! Old Navy had a ton. Edited to add: I completely understand, you’re not alone! I have felt that way for a few years too. My life IS good. It’s been stressful, too, and my dad died in 2022 which was the worst year of my entire life, but some of best days and years of our lives haven’t even happened yet, we’re going through it so when that happens, we can be euphorically happy ❤️
I love your honesty in your mental health update. I can totally relate to you with the feeling of wanting to find the root cause of feelings of sadness or dissatisfaction with life. Like you said, sometimes it’s more important to just move through those feelings without trying to pin down the cause. We are human and just feel negative emotions sometimes!
Also, if you are an animal lover (which I am guessing you all with all of your pets!) horseback riding is one of the most amazing and fulfilling hobbies. You get to be active and also spend time with an incredible animal and build a partnership with them. Just being in a horse’s presence is therapeutic. ❤
omg i LOVE the "choose your own adventure" videos that you do. also love the new releases and i diligently watch them especially because ive been better about reading new releases this year so ive mostly read the ones you vlog and im super curious about your thoughts yk, and if i havent read any one of them, it's a great way to see if i should be prioritizing it
Girl, I was so worried about a summer wedding I attended last year because I was convinced I was gonna hate myself in everything and Abercrombie came through! I tell everyone to look for dresses there now because they have such good options. So glad you found some you liked.
Came across your UA-cam from the previous vlog regarding fertility. It’s giving old UA-cam vlogs vibes so glad I found your page ❤️ Totally okay to talk about this at any point, it’s your story and you don’t have to be apologetic. ☺️
I loved that Daphne in this book was actually lightly prickly rather than in Book Lovers when Henry just made her say over and over that she’s difficult. It was so tell rather than show anything….
Came for the reading stayed for the healing journey👏🏼 I feel like I’ve been a dead man walking since my miscarriage 2 months ago but seeing you say you’re ready to take care of yourself inspires me to wake up and do the same. Thanks for sharing something so personal❤
Looking forward to the clothes haul as someone who’s body has also changed the last couple years and and finding it hard to appreciate how I look or fit into clothing
Thanks so much for this video and your other video. I have been a viewer for a long time but never commented. I went through a missed miscarriage last year at 10 weeks after an IUI and years of trying with my husband. I am now on my second round of IVF (first round no normal embryos) and currently at the 7 week pregnancy mark. Thanks for sharing so others can be aware of the process and the many types of feelings associated with it. I found that many people were unkind or insensitive due to not being aware of all that can happen since many do not discuss these things. For example, random people asking me why don’t I start trying to have a child (without knowing what my husband and I have went through struggle wise in that area) or work telling me that I needed to do work at home during my sick leave for my D&C (even though it was not an emergency and the comments associated with it). Right now, despite all of these things, I personally feel blessed to have an insurance company that has helped me to make it through this point since so many did not even get to see a positive test due to the cost. Similar to what you said in this video, I try to also be aware of the many other things that I have been blessed with in life despite going through these hard things no matter my outcomes on my journey. I wish you the best with your journey and moving through the ups and downs.
When I was watching your video in the beginning I was thinking you should try to make goals with your fitness!! Then you went on to talk about it lol. I actually have a very sedentary job and made a goal for myself to hit 10,000 steps everyday regardless of any other fitness goals and I can truly say it has helped a ton and I have noticed huge benefits doing this over the last two months. Just walking can make a huge difference in your attitude and overall physical and mental health! ❤ wishing you well
Commenting again just to say - I’ve been finding a lot of cute summer dresses and like linen shorts and things like that at target recently! And my target isn’t even that big/great so the clothing section is usually not stocked with all their best stuff.
I have been going through the same predicament :( I have been avoiding shopping because of all the hormonal ups and downs my body has changed so much the past few months and I've been living in leggings just so I avoid trying things on. I found that ditching things that make me feel uncomfortable and self-conscious help. I finally feel okay not trying to find jeans that fit right or are comfy so I switched to linen pants/dresses for the most part. Also flowey clothes make me feel cute
Thank you so much Chandler, your candor about your mental health realizations. This is exactly how I'm feeling. Like down to every detail... It makes me feel so much better that my thoughts and feelings are not isolated. I love your content so much. ❤️
i do kind of feel you about clothes shopping. zero chance of me being pregnant whatsoever, so no fertility talk, i've just made some poor diet choices in the last several months and gained significant enough weight that i had to buy all new pairs of shorts and has made me doubt whether the clothes i have still fit. i also had to buy a dress for a wedding that i'm a bridesmaid in, and i've gone up two dress sizes since the last time i was a bridesmaid, which granted was in 2021, and i've only gone from a small to a medium in casual clothes. but it's still made me feel weird about my body. sometimes bad but i'm still working through accepting my changing body while also making smarter choices for my health you know? idk felt this was a good place to talk/rant about it
I'm excited for your 1 sentence reviews (such a cool idea!) and also the choose you own adventure style video, love those! And I'm happy for you, living your breakfast potato dreams, I hope they have arrived by now 🥔 😂
I'm a quarter way through your video when you are discussing a fate of wrath and flame. I will first preface by saying I have read a "traditional book in about 3-4 years I have been primarily reading mangas and manhwa. A common "trope" is isekai (transported/summoned to another world), reincarnation (typically reborn as yourself to repeat your life but make different choices), or transmigration (typically your soul moved to another body, sometimes retains that body's memorys, usually into a person of a book or game you played in your original life). All that to say, your description of this book reminds me of this currently popular theme in mangas and manwhas. Because it is a popular theme, there are a lot of bad or lazy stories that have been written or aren't well executed.
I bought the Pat McGrath blush based on your wedding make-up video and it’s my absolute favorite blush I’ve ever owned!! It’s the perfect shade for pale skin!
Hoping the bleeding stops soon! I so appreciate your honesty about this journey and your mental health in general. Actually lol'ing at the potatoes, that's amazing. I'm also happy to hear you liked the new Emily Henry better! I'm usually a fan of hers but did not like her last one at all, so I'm hoping this one will work for me more.
For the clothes, I can relate to the struggle of wanting to look cute but not *loving* how you look. I would definitely recommend renting clothes! I have been doing that, and it makes me try different things and feel cute in clothes I wouldn't typically buy. I use nuuly, but there are several. But good luck! :)
The body trope you're explaining with A Fate of Wrath & Flame is a common trope within Chinese novels and media, it's called transmigration (they either transmigrate into the past or a novel, typically, though others do exist where they go into) and the result cause of that in most novels is usually the parties (the original main character and the person whose body they're in now) is the main character had a near-death experience or died and the other person whose body this is did die. So, I'm wondering if K.A. Tucker hasn't watched some Chinese dramas with that element and it interested her.
This is my first video by you and I'm just sending you all the good thoughts. My first pregnancy ended in miscarriage and that was such a hard and weird thing to go through. Here's hoping for that future rainbow baby for you! ❤
I’m not a workout kinda gal, but recently I’ve started doing Pilates anddddd I LOVE it. It’s small movements that aren’t difficult and focusing more on strengthening your unused muscles. I feel like I’m actually improving my body for day to day functionality. You should try it, see if it works for you :)
i really enjoyed pilates when i did it last year :) i'm not big on at home workouts so i went to a studio. just a lil too expensive for me at the moment
I was trying to compose a meaningful and heartfelt comment because there have been some similarities in our lives recently- but I just don't have the capacity for that right now. What I do have the capacity for is 36 pounds of "rectangle potatoes" as I call them. Where do we go about finding the link for those?
I found you from your last vlog and the youtube algorithm must have really been working. I completed a missed miscarriage on 4/18 and finding your video definitely made me feel less alone with everything going on. I hope you start feeling better soon 💕
The title of this video is such a mood. 36lbs of potatoes, we should be friends.

Emily Henry writing is overrated. Thanks for being real as usual and I am sending you positive vibes for recovery both physically and emotionally.
Soooo glad to see you back, missed you. Hopeful for your healing ❤

i do kind of feel you about clothes shopping. zero chance of me being pregnant whatsoever, so no fertility talk, i've just made some poor diet choices in the last several months and gained significant enough weight that i had to buy all new pairs of shorts and has made me doubt whether the clothes i have still fit. i also had to buy a dress for a wedding that i'm a bridesmaid in, and i've gone up two dress sizes since the last time i was a bridesmaid, which granted was in 2021, and i've only gone from a small to a medium in casual clothes. but it's still made me feel weird about my body. sometimes bad but i'm still working through accepting my changing body while also making smarter choices for my health you know? idk felt this was a good place to talk/rant about it
relatable tbh!
I'm excited for your 1 sentence reviews (such a cool idea!) and also the choose you own adventure style video, love those!
And I'm happy for you, living your breakfast potato dreams, I hope they have arrived by now 🥔 😂
36 lbs of frozen potatoes sounds very healing

love your long vlogs and missed them!! so so so glad you are feeling better and are back!!
Omg Haden! We got the steam deck a few months ago and we love it! So nice to take while we travel.
Sending you all the love! I also hate summer and I moved to Phoenix a couple years ago thinking that would change but it didn’t! 😆
I think the 36lb of breakfast potatoes was an excellent choice!
You just pointed exactly how I always feel while reading Emily Henry, not gonna pick this one
For the clothes, I can relate to the struggle of wanting to look cute but not *loving* how you look. I would definitely recommend renting clothes!

Thank you so much for linking the breakfast potatoes 🥔
I’m looking forward to you reading Powerless. I just finished it and I’m curious to know your thoughts.
Anytime I watch your vids I feel the need to grab my rag doll cat…my other 2 are getting jealous lol❤

👏👏👏 clapping for the good news x
I’m sending you love ❤❤❤
I want a steam deck, but I hadn't heard the greatest things when it came out. Maybe they're better now
Personally, I'm very excited for the breakfast potatoes.
