Man this story hit home!!!!!! Wasn’t diagnose with endometriosis but had difficulty getting pregnant for over ten years. I let it took me over instead of leaving it to God! I had to go down on my knees and pray long and hard and leave it to God and now I have a 13 months old and pregnant with my second due in November. Leave it to God!!!!!!!! Pray, pray, pray, pray!!!!!!!
This is TRULY the message I needed , Thank you Toni-Ann & Yendi!
Congrats 👏 may God bless you and have a healthy and safe delivery.

5? 11? There are 20 miserable persons out there!!
I pray you up so life can be pleasant for you 20 ..be happy!
This comment is funny. Just continue praying for them darling. Ppl just weird.
To God be the glory
Bless you....l had 6 miscarriages...but am blessed with a beautiful baby girl....🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow, what help you pull through Sherrette? I would be mad
@@kemmealhopwood5540 l had given up....and prayed for a pregnancy without knowing....and my prayers were answered.. My husband took all the symtoms he carried it for me for 37 weeks....even going in for my csection he felt sick...my miracle ashannyah came at healthy and bouncing...🙏🙏🙏
@@sherrettehenlon very nice. ..may Jehovah God continue to guide , protect and bless you and your family. Always pray it is the answer to everything.
@@kemmealhopwood5540 Yahweh is awesome...inspite we lost a husband and a father after 2 years after ashannyah was born....he has been sustaining us from that time....
Yes if you can’t empathize you can sympathize, I’m 31 with endometriosis and it’s not easy, when old friends sees me an ask why I don’t have kids yet them not even know the struggles.
Girl same here I've been trying for years 😩 I hope 1 day it will happen 🙏
Facts they don't even know
Don't be dismay,, Jesus cares. When they ask you how you don't have any children yet, tell them that a God make baby not you. Am in my 30s and trust me am living a good life,, not married as yet. But Jesus is preparing me only for the best.
When the time is tight God will step in. Love
I suffer from fibroids, never been pregnant, always wanted children and I feel like broken. The worst thing someone can say to me is why I don't have kids. Also there is not much sympathy for women suffering from fibroids; endometriosis, pics because they seem to be a taboo subject and still not enough research being done to help those of us suffering, and trust me the suffering is REAl. Prayer, herbal products and a few supportive friends are keeping me positive.
Am in my late 20s a mommy of a 5 year old, at times person (s) would say. "1pickney a nuh pickney yuh need to go back." It grieves me so much, when I think of others whose trying and can't have that opportunity. Yet they are going to let me know that 1 isn't any.
To you all whose trying, may God bless you and grant you strength and your wishes.
I am crying real tears. Such a POWERFUL story! Wow! No sah! Beauty in the ashes indeed.
Very inspirational I can relate to her story with loss but have not mustered up the courage to share publicly, I have PCOS and have experienced miscarriages I have a 6 year old son and is currently pregnant, one of my promise to God is after I have this baby I will share my journey. God is able, wont He do it, to God be the glory.
I can very much relate to her story as well. But to God be the glory,he has bless me once more with my daughter who I called my special gift from God. Have been through this with pcos and miscarriage as well. Congrats on your pregnancy 👏. God is good all the time.
@@kadiangordon4419 thank you Cyster! Am happy that God blessed you with a daughter.
I'm trying to conceive any advice
@@sheri1041 what has your doc prescribed Metformin?
@@jul8365 No I'm not on any medications
This topic is really not talked about alot. I salute you queen for being so open and honest. I've had 2 miscarriages within 6 months but listening to this truly gives me hope. And yes prayer is a must. Even if you don't have words, God understands the tears. This was truly a blessing 🙏
L
All the Best to you Mellisa.
I pray your strength! Just trust God to see you through.
May the Lord heal your pain and bring you His peace even now darling
God is a good god Amen i had a miscarriage in 2014 at 21weeks n trust me it was hard for me and my husband.... In 2018 i got pregnant again gave birth at weeks n 4days n it wasn't easy but my baby boy fight his way in the ICU for 24days we thank each and everyday and today I'm a proud mother my son will be 3yrs old August 29.. I'm happy for you Toni ♥️♥️♥️🙏
What a story, i cried .This will help another woman and its show the goodness of God.
Absolutely brilliant and courageous woman
I can relate to her story in so many ways, Brought back so many memories,endometriosis, infertility, pain and the same Dr Frederick. God truly loves us 👏🏽
Could I get the Dr number plz.
I love how Yendi allow this young lady to just speak and pour it all out there.
She’s a beautiful soul.
I had a similar experience and it was through this process I found peace. The verse "He will give you peace that passeth all understanding which will guard your heart and mind through Christ Jesus" came alive on the hospital bed with my dead son in my tummy. To God be the glory. Peace is sacred, guard it.
She was going, through spiritual warfare and holding on to faith, trusting in God and not fall for the demise of evil forces that wants to stronghold
Glory to God
Thank you Yendi for discussing this topic. So many couples suffer with infertility, but when you're going through it you feel you're the only one, because it is such a personal thing people don't share their story. I really appreciate Toni for bring brave enough to share your experience. God bless you and your family. So glad you were bless with a healthy baby eventually. God really does answer prayers.
Yendi, this one is too hard for me….the tears are falling all over again. Thank you Toni for sharing your beautiful story. My SAHS sisters. We strong boi….our maternal health care system in Jamaica, it sucks. It need serious overhaul
Toni God a God, he has proven himself to you, let God be praised
To God be the glory great things he has done
Wow....last saw her when she was about 7. Know her mom.and dad. They are all beautiful people. She is the product of strong parents. Thank you all for sharing such a beautiful, raw and unfiltered journey ❤♥
Dionne, watching this with tears in my eyes. I remember little Toni, and just can't fathom her going through what she did.
The silence of women struggles. This one brought to tears the entire interview. The irresponsible behaviours of hospitals staffs when a woman is already experiencing trauma is beyond me. I pray and believe this open the eyes of the medical community. A loss is so traumatic and enduring 2 shows resilience. I admire your faith and you standing in your truth to help other women. 🙏🏾❤️🩹👍🏾.
I can attest to that prayer. I went through the same thing and there were times that I felt so calm and in that moment I knew someone somewhere was praying for me.
I felt every word this lady spoke. Last September I lost my daughter too. Prayer does magnificent things.
Wonderful interview, humble and caring person, also one of the best insurance agent one can ask for. Admire you for speaking your truth.
Yendi thank you for allowing Toni to tell her story. I lived through this problem from I was 13 right through but didn't anyone to share it with because nobody understood what I was going through. Thank God for blessing me with my son. Thank you Toni your story was amazing.
BEAUTY FOR ASHES!!! WHAT A TESTAMENT YOU HAVE.. GOD REMOVED YOUR PRECIOUS BABY GIRL HOWEVER HE REWARDED YOU WITH YOUR HUSBAND (THE PROPOSAL) YOUR BONUS SONS AND YOUR SWEET BABY BOY DREUX NOT TO MENTION YOUR STRENGTH.. CONTINUE TO TRUST IN HIM AS YOU DO AND KNOW THAT YOU WILL BE BLESSED ONCE MORE. MY HEART IS SO FULL.. I AM HERE WASHING AWAY THE ENTIRE PLACE WITH TEARS!!!!
She needs to write a book, woman to woman; plus be a spoke person in this genre of women's health
I follow Toni on Instagram, I admire her so much. I have been through this and it destroyed my marriage completely, I blame my husband and he blamed me. I left Jamaica to get away from how I was feeling and change of environment and to give my husband space, but couple months after I left my husband was murdered and I live with regrets and guilt because I didn’t get to tell him I had forgiven him for blaming me and I forgave him for his actions because I know we both were hurting. It’s been 11 years I lost my daughter and husband, I have remarried but a part of me died with them and from time to time I cried like it just happened. But I’m trusting God as always for healing! Thanks for sharing your story Toni , I wish you and your family continued blessings 🙏🏽
God bless you hunny! I am truly sorry for both your loses!!❤️
@@AmazingAmoy thanks beautiful, I appreciate it 🙏🏽💕
What’s her in name please
I'm very sorry for your loss and I just said a prayer for you ❤️
I found out about my endometriosis 4 years now had 2 operations so far at 34 it scares me and I just keep praying and trusting God. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏🏽🙌🏾🙌🏾🙏🏽
What a testimony!!! wow...just wow. I literally teared up. Women, we feel all of life's pain.
Yendi i can attest to what Toni-ann went through.I lost 8 pregnancies and no one knew what i went through except God, He never make a mistake,He looked beyond my faults and saw my needs, He smiled down on me and gave me a son who is now a medical doctor,to God be the glory.Yendi,you and Neville bell interviewed him on TVJ when he graduated from medical school in Cuba in 2013.I'm encouraging every woman who is going through this problem never to give up God is still in control just wait on Him.Toni-ann you are a strong woman thanks for sharing your story,God is with you always may He bless your son as he continue to grow in God's grace.
I follow her on ig and trust and believe she's a gracious human being.I just love how humble and APPRECIATIVE she is.God knows exactly how her story was to penned❤🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is so true
I follow her too... ❤️
Been through the same thing, it's is still taboo. I am now blessed with two sons. Thanks for sharing
Me too 😭😭
This was the message I needed. I was just here crying about similar issues and saw this video notification same time.
Only the peace of Christ can neutralize the overwhelming grief of losing a child. God Bless You Both!🇯🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲
So true...
Glory to God, amen, only the peace of God, can quench and surpass all hurt, pain, grieves, grief, .... understanding for healing
She listened to God, I am so happy for her....the amount of times she said PRAYER....❤🙏🏾
I've been through this for over 20years and grateful I was at least bless with my son. The others didn't make it and I had to get a full hysterectomy which just puts you in another zone of having to do hormone replacement, hair lost etc. We need to have a platform where women feels comfortable and in a safe space to have this dialogue.
Having that minister coming directly to you I've been there few times and I now understand my calling that I don't belong to me, I am chosen and he LOVES me. Toni-Ann God is going to use you mightily so enjoy your son and look forward to God shining through you. I don't know you but I feel and understand. Thank you Yendi for allowing God to use you as a vehicle for Toni-Ann to tell God's story on this platform. Bless you both 💞💞💞💞
❤️ I think endometriosis is not being highlighted enough. We women suffer in silence but I’m holding on the best best way I can. Thanks Toni for your story
Listen to me, your strength is unbelievable, i had a miscarriage before my now daughter 2 years old and i wouldnt wish that feeling on no one, imagine loosing your child after she or he was born, my word.
Yep it ain easy, you never get over it...mines fall right out in the toilet just like her story and another after that...God bless me with a handsome lil boy the year after🙏
Love and support to my fellow Endo sisters!!
Who but God? “You have to go through it to grow through it”. Thank you both 🙏🏾😇
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Beautiful soul and story, miscarriages are so common and so many women suffer in silence. This topic is really not spoken about enough, as someone who has miscarried 5 times and have done IVF it’s really great to see other women talking about this. Thank you both
So many women go through these same scenarios. After 14 years some of my family members are just finding out I lost a child. It's definitely not easy to talk about but it's so important to have people around you who will support you and allow you to cry whenever you need to release.
So true...
Thanks Yendi, for giving us real stories from real people. You are blessed.
Toni!!!! That’s my pal. Strength, beauty and heart 😍
This story is wow.. Girl God is an Awesome God and today I can say I truly thank Him for saving my life through a miscarriage I had last year, keep on praising Him and let Him lead you. Great is He and greatly to be Praised. May God continue to bless and keep you and your family, my prayers are with you..... I thank you for telling your story to us..
😭😭😭😭this brought me bk to all 6 pregnancies and 5 miscarriages....this was such a powerful interview
Wow! Another tear jerker! Laaawd. As someone who's currently pregnant this wasn't the easiest to watch. But I've found faith in the Lord through all I've been through and in the end everything will work out. " if you abide in me as my word abide in you, ask for whatever you wish and it shall be done for you. John 15:7
Your story has definitely inspired me more to believe in our saviour! Bless you!
Goodness and mercy will follow you Toni and family..
Such a great story teller evoked all my emotions❣️
I am really greatful for this message because i am going through a situation right now where i feel hopeless and most time i feel like giving up but you give me hope so thank you
Next month will be a year and I fear going into the month. I went through almost the same thing as her second pregnancy. Most days I am okay, what works for me is talking about it. I am still trying to find back my faith in prayer but I'm not there yet. Just know that it takes time to heal.*hugs*
Watching this with tears in my eyes as am having problems to have a baby this story builds my faith in God and I know he will bless my womb
Yendi another touching, tear jerking story. Today I SALUTE one of our strong black women. I am so happy that she is in stronger place now and can share without bawling cause, if the story so sad already , don't know how I would manage. My take aways, though are, PRAY ABOUT EVERYTHING and TRUST GOD FOR EVERYTHING. He is an on time God and He remains faithful. May He continue to keep His hand on Toni and her family.,
I’m touched. I feel your pain. Ballie ballie 3 is here 😃. Thank God for keeping you. Your husband is a great and strong partner. Opposites attract. One of the things I love about us Jamaicans is that we are frank which can make or break you. 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️
So proud of you Toni-Ann I’m so happy that your using your voice and sharing your story you’ve always been beautiful inside and out.
Yendi you have this gift of making people so comfortable...you are so non judgmental and there is this calmness and peace about you.. Keep on being you.
I appreciate this story. Her faith, her journey, her presence is beautiful. She will be doing great things. You may not have gone through this but her faith and testimony is something to admire. It will help us work on ours. ❤❤❤
You made me cry. Thank God you survived such an ordeal.
The moment you request prayer, is the moment you'll be at peace😭🙌🏾❤️
I'm one of them that needed this message ladies and I'm really thankful. I didn't know about this program and now I'm really happy that I do😊💯 her story meant so much to me!
Yendi hit this one out of the park! With so much class and finesse, she ushered Toni-Ann with her very necessary story and a super powerful message!! Thank you Toni-Ann. Well done Yendi!
Powerful story..what a strong woman….I love how u allow ur guest to just speak
Wow, her favorite thing is "Prayer" awesome and well said. I think sometimes God take us through situations to humble us and bring us to our knees. God is awesome!
Amen God is good
Yenda this was a great interview Toni story was an unbeliever but true and I am sure there are other women out there going through the same thing. God is good all the time we just have to believe it, I cried through the whole interview for her she is a strong woman and loving mom , God shows her favor at the end. Great story love you Yendi for what you do.
This lady is very strong & I pray she'll find complete peace with the loss of her child. I felt every word of her story & the pain she endured. With tears in my eyes, I can relate to that unspeakable pain. So very happy that God blessed her with a healthy baby boy. Praying that God will continue to bless her & her son always. Dear God please help to improve the medical system in JA. Lots of love to you Ms. Toni-Ann.💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞💞
The depths of transparency in this and your other meeting times is what makes this vlog exceptional
I LOVE TONI, I follow her on IG & when I see her in streets she’s such a humble soul
My heart is heavy and sad, can't watch no more, this is too much and very relatable
Keep strong and in prayer my sister and all my sisters
Oh what a story and in all that. God remains God. Thanks for bringing this to us Yendz. Stay bless
This is the most touching interview you did. I went from almost crying to smiling. I really loved this interview.
I really cried for half of the video. What a testimony what a strong woman! Thank you for sharing your story I hope God continues to keep you 🙏🏾
God Bless her and her family this was a very touching yet inspiring story. God is real and his grace is everlasting.🙏
I remembered Toni’s story but to hear it from her is so painful. Such a strong message from her experience. I pray that God will grant her a daughter in the future. Stay strong and prayed up.
Beautiful story🌸 Thanks for sharing Toni-Ann
I am so proud of you TNT for sharing your story.. You are a living testimony and your story will touch so many lives ❤️
Amazing. I was only going to watch a piece of it but was glued to the end. As the mother of a preemie I relate to a small part of this story. I am definitely sharing so women around the world can be encouraged and blessed. Thank you. Amen.
Such a sensitive topic. Lots of women suffer in silence. Thanks Yendi for bringing this topic to light! Another gem filled episode!!

This gave me chills- especially the part about losing the baby girl. I think it hits home more because I have a newborn and I ache when he is in pain. Your faith is inspiring!
Thanks for sharing your story Toni my sister went through something similar last year and it’s hard finding the right words to say to her but as you mentioned I will pray for her.
I love this super awesome testimony of the Goodness of God. Toni you're strong God bless you . Prayer my nearest friend too .
GOD IS GREAT AND GRATELY TO BE PRAISED STAY IN COURAGE TONI GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
What a powerful interview which touched every heart string. I cudn't stop crying because it resonated with me so much. I have also experienced similar depression and i never thought i could get through it but I am happy and appreciate the fact that Yendi and Toni are able to use this platform to motivate and encourage other women who are at the end of their rope and have no one to turn to but know there is hope. And Also TO educate other persons about this journey and we need to have compassion for others. You never know what others are going through and an encouraging word, and prayer can add light to someone's life. Thank you for this Yendi and Toni.. LIFE MORE ABUNDANT!!!!
This brought be back to what my husband and I went through. I am happy you shared your story it made me realize that I am not alone. We struggled to conceive, watching our first baby suffer in the ICU was a struggle, we had a miscarriage after that and until today I still have my sad days but I am choosing to be happy not only for my son but also for me. Thanks for sharing your story
This is a beautiful story. I’m glad Toni is well and happy. You definitely grew stronger in your relationship with God and he definitely did wonders in your life.
Don't know if it's just my phone but the video quality was not so good this week. Very inspirational story. This lady was so open about her feelings and what she went through that it just felt so heart warming. THANK U JESUS AM GOING TO BE FINE!
This was a beautiful testimony on so many levels. Thank you for sharing your story Toni-Ann
I watched this on edge sigh Prayer and faith is everything he gives his strongest soldiers the hardest battles ,God bless u Yendi and Miss Toni thank u for sharing such a beautiful story powerful one so many of us ladies living with Endometriosis sigh and haven't got a chance to be mom yet but through prayer and trusting God when it's our time definitely it will happen.
Man!!! Poor sister. I had fibroids, ovarian cysts leading to 2 years ago to ovarian cancer. 😔. Black women especially need to stay on top of our reproductive health. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Wow! Girl your story is heartrending but God is awesome, He kept you, directed you through adversity and gave you beauty for ashes. Powerful testimony. Blessings galore for you and your family.
You are a strong woman.
I really applauded you for coming forward with your story. It’s not a story but very informative information to all woman who went through the same situation.
Thanks and thank you again .
Women go through many different issues to have a family and to keep the pregnancy.
There are some women who are so insensitive to say it’s easy fir them.
We as women should embrace each other’s and not so quick to judge.
Let us unite and have each other’s back.
I was Dx with Endometriosis around 1993,and had a Dx Lap. shortly after that. I was able to give myself the recommended injection for 6mnt, and have not had an episode since. I had the crazy severe abd. pain when I was younger in all age school and stayed home during my menstrual cycle. Doing good so far. Pray more young girls get diagnosed early to help easy the discomfort that comes with it.
I have 3 great kids, and my Dr. told me I was lucky that I even got pregnant.
Thank you Toni for sharing you tears and your joy with us. Yendi, Thank you,always.Respect.
This brings back so many memories, I lost my first baby at full term and then my daughter 7 months after birth. I now have an 8 year old daughter and a 2 year old son thanks be to God.
Powerful story. Toni you are so beautiful.... Blessings to you and your family. Yendi big up yourself
I remember watching this about two months ago while pregnant n I never thought anything more than wow so sorry that happened to her.. n I lost my baby on Saturday .. she died because she came prematurely.. I’m 28 throughout my life I have always done the right thing.. dated good men attended college, sang in church, got married… be careful not to get pregnant before the time was right because I personally never wanted to have an abortion… but God gives and he takes away n my baby girl is one blessing he took .. have mercy
A interview I never know i needed. Wow. Speechless
Wow! The power of prayers and faith ..
Your association plays a great role when life happens and your support system understands you ..
Mi bawl suh til while watching. I remember the horrible comments when we had trouble conceiving but God brought forth one beautiful miracle and Yendi, she's been living A Life More Abundant😉😍 I give glory to God and remind her always that she's our miracle. I pray for all the families which are going through infertility issues, miscarriage and infant death. May God breathe new life into those families and may they see the beauty in their ashes 💛💚🖤🇯🇲
Amazing story...God is intentional!
I can related I had the same problem two miscarriages but thank God I get over it
Awesome interview and Toni-Ann is such a strong lady!
