I came across your channel through searching TTC. My husband and I have been on and off trying for 8 years. We got married young, he joined the military, and shortly after we got married we threw caution to the wind and let life takes its course. Nothing happened the first year, or the second year, and so on. I'm 29 now, and we finally got referred to specialist and we've finally started to see progress. Still no baby, but I've been doing injectables, trigger shot and just did my second iui. Through this journey I've realized that children are a huge blessing and so many people take it for granted. I'm so happy you all got your success and your blessing!! I pray every day my husband and I get our blessing too. It's a really really tough journey that only people who go through it understand. My heart hurts everyday when I see others just try for a month and boom! I'm happy for them, but sad for myself at the same time. All I've ever wanted was to be a mom, and I hope that I am someday.
+Samantha Marwah Their lives have changed so much! That's one thing I love about vlogging. I hope that when my husband and I look back on our own videos in the future we'll feel the same way!
I had to pause this video a few times because I was crying so hard. I had never watched your videos but decided to give it a go after Cullen mentioned you guys struggling to conceive. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for nearly 4 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2011. We started Clomid in 2012 & just like you, I was never monitored. We ended up in the fertility clinic in 2013 and after that doctor explained how dangerous that truly was to be given Clomid with no supervision, we were sick and shocked. I know your "final" story with Cullen announcing you were blessed with a brand new baby so I just HAVE to watch on! We will be starting Clomid a little later this summer & I'm praying we will be blessed. I cried exceptionally hard when Ellie mentioned that maybe it wasn't God's timing & maybe there was a problem. Everyone tells us when God is ready for us to become parents we will. I believe that but I also believe He wants us to help ourselves so He can continue to help us. I hope that makes sense. Of course I'm crying again writing this. It is so imperative to find others that understand the struggles we face with infertility. I agree that maybe this pain and struggle is a blessing from God that we will be forever blessed once we become parents. I just want to say thank you guys so very much for sharing your story.
WOW, Ellie & Jared. I've been watching you guys for several years now, and am re-watching this video right after watching your New House Tour video!! It brings me to tears seeing how far you've come. Ellie, you were so right here. Your struggles have made you a patient, wonderful mommy. Jared, your trials alike have transformed you into the most caring, fun-loving daddy! Jackson and Cal are such little treasures and I look forward to seeing the 4 of you on my screen every day. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life.
Just watching this now, I'm a recent subscriber, and I just wanted to congratulate you for not only having Jackson, but for being pregnant now! :D I'm so happy for you both, and wish you the best of luck, great health, and everything else good in the world for many many years to come!
Watching this now when you're helping 5 people go through IVF and raising awareness for everything you went through is so heart warming. I love you guys so much. You are such a blessing and I'm so glad God gave you two beautiful little boys and also gave you the means to give other people a chance to start their own families ❤️
almost 4 years later your family has expanded to 4....God answered your prayers..with Jackson and Calvin... you guys have came a long way..who of of thought that in 2017 you would be where your at..with 2 beautiful children, a new home, a puppy and a stronger connection with your family and friends.. Life has it's up's and downs but you never lost faith and not once did you give up..even though pain and disappointment..You both are wonderful loving parents...I love watching old vlogs.. because now I know the outcome of your struggles..and how you handled it..very brave in putting your life on the internet for the world to see!! God Bless!!!
We got married in 2012. We didn't try for the first year because he went to basic and AIT but as soon as he graduated, we tried. I've wanted to be a mother ever since I was a little girl. It does take an emotional toll on us. I cry more than a 24 year old should.
I love this video! I have literally watched it several times, because my husband and I went through infertility for 2 years. I also have PCOS, have had tests done and surgery. After going through the hard times, we are now pregnant with our first baby!!! 👶💗 You have given hope to so many, including myself. Your videos have helped me get through my trial, so thank you!!! 💞❤☺
My sister and her husband went through a long process of seeing doctors and doing infertility treatments. She says it was a hard and stressful process. You went through to unsuccessful IVF's plus a miscarriage. Since she was moving from Texas to California her last doctor appointment was in Texas. So on November 22 she flew out to Dallas Texasand they transferred the last two little embryosthat they had frozen.The doctor had gave her a low chance of pregnancyshe said she felt like she had no hope for this so she went and took HPT on her lunch break at Walgreens to prove she wasn't pregnant and she felt that it just wasn't going to work for her she said that she had shaky hands and almost about fell over when she saw the second line appear on her test and once again my sister did go do this multiple times so she felt throughout the whole pregnancy it wasn't true she said she used to fantasize about doing her baby shower and hearing little feet running around throughout her house she says that this is a fantasy anymore she says this is reality so on July 18, 2014 she had two babies a girl and a boy now they are three months on October 18, 2014 as I type this they are truly an amazing blessing ❤️
Ellie, those tears broke my heart :( But now I look at you, I see the beautiful, young, loving mother you have become. I am proud of you and Jared, you guys both have been so strong and patient and blessed with a little pumpkin :) God! I adore Jackson, he is one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen :) When a child is that beautiful, we say 'Maşallah' in my country, it means 'may God preserve him from evil'. Love you guys :)
my parents also struggled to fall pregnant and joined a fertility clinic. After 11 years at the clinic the doctors told them there was nothing else they could do. But the doctors did not know what God is capable of. So my parents prayed and God gave them 2 healthy babies, without any help from the clinic. Thanks Ellie and Jared for sharing your story.
Dear E&J, I can not thank you enough for posting this video. My husband and I are going thru the same things that you both went through. I just got my referral for a specialist. After hearing from my OBGYN that I can't get pregnant on my own, I broke down and crying. All my fears came to reality, and it's devastating. I haven't finished watching all your videos, but I can see that you dream came true, and I have hope ours will too. Thank you and good luck with all.
I just love seeing this video. It gives me such hope. I want to be a mom more than anything but struggled with infertility. I finally chalked it up to "well maybe God is just saving me from horrible situations" and for the most part, I was right! The two guys that would have been the father (two separate long term pre-marital relationships) both have kids and are not the best people. I have just found the love of my life and am getting married in about a year. This gives me so much hope. That maybe God was saving me...That there IS a chance.... I just spent a good 90 seconds flipping back and forth between the "HCG and IUI" video and the video from when you announced pregnancy with Jackson! TWO MONTHS! AAAAAHHHH!!!!!! That makes me so happy! God bless you guys. Thank you for opening MY eyes, Ellie! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I love rewatching these videos as they give me such hope. We are still in this stage after 3 years and are constantly pushing the doctors for new options. It's such a hard process and I so appreciate that you were so open to this ❤
Back to the basics... enjoying these again as my husband and I prepare for our final IVF attempt. Fun watching again knowing how far you guys have come and seen the blessing the good Lord has provided you.
After my husband and I tried for almost a year and a half, I finally decided I would try clomid. We went two months with no success, so my doctor doubled my dose for the third month, and that's when we conceived our twins. We are now almost 34 weeks pregnant with b/g twins and have a little more than 4 weeks to go. I was blessed not to have side effects from the meds and am very grateful I did decide to try it. I will say that we did many tests on both myself and my husband before trying the meds, and we always came back clear with no known reason why we weren't getting pregnant.
I was diagnosed at 16 with PCOS a couple of days ago. Watching these vlogs has helped me so much in dealing with the fact that I have this disorder and understanding that while pregnancy may be difficult it is still very possible for me to have a family of my own one day. Thank you so much Ellie and Jared for sharing this with us and helping me and so many others in being able to accept and feel comfortable in knowing what we have. xx
I’m watching this as you’re pregnant with your third baby - this is the first of your videos that I watched almost five years ago and I’ve been so grateful to be a part of your journey since then!
I was diagnosed with PCOS almost two years ago. They put me on Metformin and all kinds of medicines to 'control' it. My husband and I decided to start trying for a baby... on our own we were unsuccessful. After tests I found out I do not ovulate. So my doctor started me on Letrozole therapy... after seeing your journey we are so excited. Y'all have given us so much hope. God bless you & your precious son!!!! :)
It's so special to come back to this video knowing now the three beautiful boys you have!! Thank for being so brave all those years ago to share your story not knowing where it was going!!!
Im in tears right now because im going thru the same journey and its so hard ...thank you for sharing such a personal and private matter with others that are going thru the same situation and dont have someone to talk.. God Bless and you guys just answer a lot of the question that i had!
this is the video that made me fall in love with your little family. how happy i am to be a part of your family. from jacksons first steps, to calvins first tooth. i love to see how much has changed in 3ish years. now we are in love with bonnie, joel, your moms and dads, the daily bumps, katie and cullen and especially you guys. i love to see great things happen to great people. Now its time for a lil princess and a dog. may god continue to bless you, your family, and everyone you impact daily. you make me as a single mom strive to be the best single mom known. To make sure and show my kids how to love, fight, laugh, cry, and have hope. Thanks for your love and positivity. God surely broke the mold.

You both are strangers for us, but your words are going to make difference in our lives. It is not the person but actually his acts that survive in this world. Infertility in any of the spouse is not his individual war. In case of infertility they have to be each other's strength. A war against disappointment has to be fought by both the husband and wife. You two have did this so well. You have proved that you are partners in love and partners in grief too.
I think I found it!!!! YOUR FIRST VIDEO!? I have been watching your vlogs for 3 days straight! I actually found y'all a few months back and have been watching ever since. Anyway, my goodness you have an absolutely beautiful family. I thoroughly enjoy seeing you guys and watching your family grow. Ellie, the volgs about your miscarriages were some of the hardest and saddest videos I've seen. It definitely brought up some emotions and memories that i don't feel and think of often. I lost my son 11 years ago last month due to a brain deformity. He was a month and 3 weeks when he passed away. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan for everyone. In the last two years I have had the amazing experience in raising my sweet twin nephews with my husband and that has been a huge reason why I have coped the way that I have. Also, watching your videos has made me want to have a stronger relationship with God and It has opened my eyes to wanting to be the best person, wife, mother, and aunt that I can be. The love you two have for each other is incredible. Keep up the amazing things you two do everyday. You have brought so much joy into my life. I adore you guys so much!
My husband and I have been watching your vlog for about a month now and so we know you got your little miracle. We love watching you as a family of three! Jackson is absolutely adorable (I'm sure you hear that all the time). :) We too have struggled with infertility, only ours still remains 'unexplained.' We still have no answers to why we were never able to get pregnant on our own. But the short-of-the-long of it is after 2 years we found ourselves going through an IVF and we have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl (who is already 5-weeks old -- they grow too fast)! In any event, we turned to UA-cam to find some sort of connection with people who were going through the same thing and found it to be such a rich experience of understanding. Unfortunately we didn't run into yours before we got pregnant but wanted to say 'thank you' for having the courage to share your story on line. We know first-hand how important it is to feel you're not alone in this struggle. So 'thank you so much' for being willing to share your journey. We've thought of sharing ours in a similar way but we're on the other end of it now so doing so will be slightly different, but we'll see how the Lord directs it. In the meantime, congratulations again on your bundle of joy! We'll enjoy continuing to watch your beautiful family on your channel!
You guys are awesome. I have recently subscribed to your channel, and I adore your videos. My husband and I struggled to become pregnant for 2 years. I had lost all hope and made an appointment to see a fertility doctor, but 4 days before my appointment I discovered I was finally pregnant. Our son will be 1 next month! I really admire your courage, determination, and strength. Your ability to push through all the rough times and heartache with a smile. It truly is an inspiration to everyone who watches you. Jackson is just the cutest and you two are amazing parents and individuals. I am so excited and thrilled for your new pregnancy and to watch your journey. Thanks for sharing your story with us! You guys are the best! Xoxo
Ellie and Jared you were born to get married of each others , I've noticed that Ellie complete Jared and Jared complete Ellie , now you're such a great parents to two cute kids , you're incredibly worth it . Best wishes from Iraq .
I finally decided to watch how it all started. It brings back memories for me. I still remember it so clearly. 1st yr trying ..nothing..get referred to a fertility specialist and after our 1st appt with ultrasound i found that I was covered with endometriosis and the posibilty of getting PG was very very low. After 2 surgeries, 2 miscarriages, the removal of my left tube and the right tube severly damanged from the endo, 2 ivf procedures ...7 long yrs we were FINALLY blessed with our daughter Felicia Hope. (Felicia meaning - Lucky and Hope because we were hopeful) I love that you documented this for Jackson and any other children you have. I Journalled it, and one day I can explain it all to my daughter. Unfortunaly after several attemps after her we were not successfull with another baby.. but we look at it as God blessing us with our miracle and we are very happy. Ellie you are right about truely being a more kind and gentler mom, it is soooo true, I watch my daughter EVERY day and enjoy ALL that she does. I try to savour it. ENJOY Jackson Ellie & Jared, they are truely special and time goes by VERY fast. xoxo
Hi Ellie and Jared, thank you so much for your inspiration! We are Brad and Monica, and we had gone through this process as well. Thank you for the courage to share your story. We are finally pregnant after our 4th IUI, with twins!!!! and sooooooooooooooooo happy and grateful!! Following your journey, and looking forward to meet you someday! Much love
You are so lucky that you have no weight problems or severe dietary issues with PCOS. I have it and it's awful. It didn't really hit me until after I turned 23 and had my second baby. All those years and the diet and actual eating disorder I had kept my wright in check and made it so I could get pregnant. Also I surprisingly got pregnant with my second when my son was only 4 months(they are 9 months apart). It came as a shock, but with PCOS, you are the most fertile when you just have a baby(doc told me this). I wasn't diagnosed for almost 5 years after and we really struggled to get pregnant( I gained weight which makes PCOS symptoms worse). But after educating myself on diet changes with the disorder and supplements, I lost 50 lbs and BAM, we got prego with baby #3, then 18 months later had baby #4. Hang in there and read up on supplements, healthy fats, lean proteins, low carb and green alkalizing drinks help a ton! Watch Birth controls, they make my cysts waaaay worse. Berberine and myo+ D-chiro Inisotol aid in insulin regulation and in turn regulate your testosterone levels and aid in ovulation. As does Vitex or Chaste tree berry, all herbs so it is very natural! Good luck on baby #3!!
TERE, Jared and Ellie! It has been 3 and half years since I started watching you two. Now there is four of you and I am so happy for your family and grateful to see Your journey! Wish you all the best!
Ellie looks so different and tiny here! You guys are so loving to Jackson and Calvin I can't wait to watch you guys progress with all your beautiful babies!
While watching this video now knowing the two little boys that are in your life all I want to do is tell you all about them to ease your pain then. Ellie and Jared I'm so happy you're prayers were answered. You guys are amazing parents and I can't believe it's been over 2 years. I remember stumbling across your fertility clinic videos and wanting you to succeed so bad and crying with you when you finally received the good news and then again when you heard it for a second time, that was a surprise :). Your happiness is so infectious, thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Just want to say I have started to watching your videos this week, and I cannot tell you how much you have encouraged me. I have PCOS and my hubby has some issues too. we have been ttc for about a year or a little over a year now and no success. I started seeing a new doctor who is really trying to help and is optimistic she will be able to help us.it is easy to look at the negative of our situation, but watching your story has really encouraged me and motivated me to be positive and do what I have to do so that we can eventually have a healthy baby! thank you so much for posting your videos! I know you probably get a lot of these comments, but I felt that I needed to express my gratitude.
So, I've been watching your later vlogs, and I haven't seen the early stuff. I completely adore you all, and I find it very courageous that y'all are sharing your story. My husband and I are dealing with infertility, and I have PCOS. So, these vlogs are very helpful for me.
Gosh, you guys, you don't even look like the Jared and Ellie that we are blessed to be watching on a daily basis today. I was tearing when I was watching this video! Thanks for putting yr life out for us to see. God bless.
My mom has PCOS and she and my dad tried for 6 years and had tons if treatments before she got pregnant with my older brother. Now seventeen years later, she has me and my litle sister as well. And now you guys have two healthy little boys. My mom aways tells me that even though it was hard, God had a plan. Anyway, I hope God continues to bless you and your family. :)
About to start crying after watching this video. I have constantly watched your videos for about 2 years now and just seeing you guys as SPECTACULAR parents... and then seeing this. You can just see how children has lightened and intensified your lives! Im so happy for you guys! Keep on rocking and rolling and dont let anyone tell you anything negative! You have overcome the worst part! Love you guys!!
Wow. I cried the entire time I watched this. I too have had no luck conceiving, and when I went to the doctors they said I had PCOS. They put me on Metformin, and so far it hasn't helped so they doubled my dosage. I will be going into the OBGYN in the next couple weeks to see what's going on. It's crazy how close your story hit home for me. You guys have a beautiful baby now, and I pray someday I can have one of my own as well. :)
Looking back at these old video's and seeing where you are now gives me so much hope!! Such a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your whole journey xx
when Ellie gets emotional in this video, i can't help myself but cry as well... good thing that you guys are finally blessed, in my case i'm still crossing my fingers and continue praying. Congrats and thank you for this inspiring video.
This video makes me so emotional, you guys look so sad and desperate I guess you could say. I'm so thankful that what you guys did with the specialist worked and now that you two have two very handsome boys, you guys are amazing parents and thank you for sharing this journey. You guys are amazing 💜
t's amazing to look back and see how far you've have come! You guys were one of the first people I ever subscribed to back when you only had around 2,000 subscribers. I watched and waited until you got your first positive pregnancy test with Jackson! I remember crying with you guys and being so excited to tell all of my friends how happy I was for you two! Your boys are beautiful and they have amazing parents. Never forget how blessed you are! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us :)
Hey, Ellie and Jared. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I loved your video. Those years must have been so hard. I experienced this too. My husband and I tried to conceive for three years. I lost all hope then. but now my life has changed. I'm a mother of a beautiful little boy now. I had him through surrogacy. So glad things worked out for me.
I've been watching your videos for a while now but i have never seen this one. My husband and I have been trying for a year now and are actually taking a small break from it all. Not trying but not preventing. I came accross your channel months ago when we first started and realized we were having issues.. watching your videos gives me strength and hope. To see you two now with Jackson and baby Calvin on the way makes me so happy. Some day we hope to have what you have.
2 and a half years battling with infertility. I can say this is the first vlog that I have come across where both parties share their stories. Most of the vlogs are mainly for the women. I really do not know why men do not come out and embrace whatever that they are going through. Remember a problem shared is half solved. Not only that but it can act as inspiration to others. Especially those [people who have been through infertility and came out as parents. It is something that lets others know that infertility is not permanent. My infertility story has inspired many. Walking from clinic to clinic has been a struggle. Till when I found my final solution in bio texcom clinic, I can say that your story has really motivated me. I am always happy when I go through people who have been through infertility. I have been in the same shoe too. So at least I can relate.
How awesome to see this video 4 years later and see you two with your beautiful family of 4, in your new house, and with all the people you have helped and lives you have changed. So happy for you guys and can't wait to see your family continue to grow!
This literally broke my heart and I'm in floods of tears! Following you guys has given me and my partner hope, we've have been trying for a baby for a full year, 2 of my siblings are pregnant and it sucks (I'm super happy for them)! To see you both now it's simply beautiful! 2 gorgeous boys and a perfect little family. After watching this I cannot wait for the future😊, thank you xx
Fast Forward to 2016, the Mecham's have 2 happy little boys and a puppy and are funding another struggling families journey to fertility. I love that I have watched the Mechams's since around July 2013 and have watched their family grow and develop. I cant wait to see what their future holds.
This was so encouraging and inspiring. I cried listening to it because my husband and I have been trying for our first baby. It's been six months so far with no success. My fear is my age- I am 37! Thanks for sharing your journey!
You are exactly right, the experience will make you cherish your child that much more when he finally arrives. You will feel so incredibly lucky every time you hold your baby in your arms. My husband and I went through the same thing..clomid, HSG, IUI and finally IVF. We got pregnant after 14 months of fertility treatments with twins. Sadly, they were born at 25 weeks and our daughter didn't make it. Having our son here is so bittersweet but a miracle that we are thankful for. Good Luck!
Seeing this video again, knowing where you and your family are now with Jackson, Calvin, and newborn Tommy, just reminds me how effing strong you both are. You are an AMAZING couple and such an inspiration to me and my family. As weird as it sounds, it feels like you are my close friends in a way because you were there for me and kept me sane while I was with my newborn and basically bound to my bedroom. (Yay fourth trimester!) Thank you for sharing your lives with me and so many others. I love you all!!!
Just getting a chance to watch this. You both encouraged me to document my journey for my family & friends too. Ellie, I thought the SAME thing too. I'm 24, I'm a healthy weight, everything... So it was a total shock for me when I found out. Thank you guys for documenting this, love the daily vlogs!
I hope that you go back and watch these videos of early days and that they make you grateful for the great blessings of Jackson and Calvin. I think it's wonderful that they will get to see these videos one day and see how much you wanted them and how loved they are.
I conceived after 10 months of trying, i had pcos and with first round of clomid, miracle happened. I saw two lines (yeaaahhh)!!! :D He's 10 months now but still when I memorize that moment, it makes me emotional :)
Hi Ellie & Jared I love watching you guys! I live in kc where julie does :).. I am almost 23 been married for 3 years and still struggling to concieve. You guys give me such hope!! I know God has a plan for me! I won't give up on my pcos journey. Please pray for my husband and I and our future babies :)
I started watching y'all a couple of months ago and y'all are such an inspiration. My husband and I have been trying for 2 years and we did get pregnant but we miscarried at 8 weeks. I then found out I had PCOS and they started me on Metformin to help it. And it hasn't helped so far but we are still praying for a tiny miracle. We went to a fertility doctor bc they thought my uterus was heart shaped so they done the HSG test and did several ultrasounds and they don't believe that it will be a problem bc its not that bad. Anyways, they started me on Clomid and the Clomid didn't help so after I have cried and been depressed, I finally went back to the doctor and she told me to lose weight (bc I gained a bunch of weight bc of the PCOS) and take the Metformin more and in April were going to check my glucose levels (they were really high and thats why the Clomid didn't work) and then they will put me back on the Clomid and she thinks that I will get pregnant when I start it. Seeing yall go through the same exact thing we are going through I mean to the tea almost has been so inspiring and I love to watch yall bc yall have so much JOY & LOVE for all the people that watch and you dont have to keep us updated on what happens but yall care so much that yall do!!! Sorry for being so long but its just amazing to hear someones story that's like Michael and I is AMAZING. God Bless y'all.
I just found you all but I am glad that I did. I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS... I am obese, but I have many other issues as well and to watch you guys and hear what you guys say is inspiring and I hope that we get a little miracle soon too! Thanks for sharing! :)
We've been trying for over 7 years with 1 loss... I'm so glad you're going to be a mommy! Pray with us please that we'll soon have our blessing as well?
I have just recently found your channel and you guys have given us so much hope. We are just starting our TTC with PCOS journey and it so comforting to watch your videos, thank you so much for sharing. You are doing such a great thing by sharing your story so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and congratulations on Jackson and all the best with Calvin xx
I have been watching your journey since you got the good news! I found you guys looking at ttc when me and my fiancé first started trying and I watched your journey and came back to this video to see where you guys began! It is amazing to see the positivity and I completely began to tear up when you did Ellie! We have just been advised there's a high possibility that we need to go through IVF which makes me completely understand what you guys have dealt with! I know there's positivity in ttc and I completely agree that it will make you a better mother! I love watching your journey guys!
Thanks for this, Ellie and Jared! This is helpful. It helps even more to see your dreams of parenthood have come true--makes us feel like our time might come! Fingers crossed that our IVF treatments take!
so happy to find your videos..so happy for yall! I have been trying for a little over 2 and half years. I am about to start my first fertility treatment cycle in end of May/June. Very nervous, excited, scared, happy..its so nice to find people that go through similar issues ..only they know how you feel.
Yup...I have/had PCOS and my husband and I were trying for a year. I asked for an ultrasound though, my doctor at first ordered blood tests first and the second visit I had the ultrasound and the cysts showed up in both my ovaries clear as day. I am was not overweight, did not have diabetes, no health issues whatsoever.....I am lucky to say that I am now the proud mother of a 6 week old baby boy! I was prescribed clomid and the month I was to take it, I was waiting for my period and cycle to start but it never did....I was already pregnant!!! I am so happy that your have two adorable boys now!
I also have PCOS, we've been pregnant twice (the first time it just took being on metformin) both babies we lost in the 2nd trimester. Last month marked our 8th year of ttc. Thank you so much for your videos they've given me hope.
Hey! I am so happy for you. It is very hard to overcome such loss. I had 3 miscarriages and then I had many medical complications. So at last resort, I had to choose surrogacy. I went to a clinic and they provided me a healthy surrogate. I am so happy now I have twin daughters. That clinic is in Ukraine. I would recommend that clinic to everyone.
Why did I not watch this when I first found you two. I too have been trying with hubby and it's almost 3 years in December. I started going to an OBGYN beginning of last year. And my tubes are open and I was going to start treatment but because of hubby being so busy with work it was hard to do his part (sperm testing) so we put things on hold. You guys have answered a lot of my questions. I've taken ovulation test and I always get a positive every month but still not pregnant. I've always read you can have a false positive but wasn't sure if it was true but now I know it's true. This video have been very informative and helpful. I'm so ready to start back up at where we left off with our OBGYN to continue with treatments. Money is our problem but it shouldn't be an excuse. I'm so happy for you both. I'm just now seeing the video of welcoming your guys son. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I'm sorry that you had to deal with infertility. I am infertile too but I never lost hope like you guys. I tried for myself and I have a baby now via surrogacy. I'm glad that I took a wise decision. It makes me happy that people are now acting wisely. Congratulations for your kids. It's amazing how you struggled so hard. Good luck with your future!
Watching your videos have really touched my heart.As far as i know I dont have any infertility problems BUT my parents did.It was my dad that had the problem. They tried to conceive for 6 years and spent all their money on fertility treatments. I was born the next year and i am now 22y/o and my brother is 21. Looking at your videos gives me a sense of how their lives were when they tried to give me life n how much they cried n prayed 4 me.I just wanted to congratulate u guys 4 ur miracle baby
this made me cry, just wanted to say you give us ladies hope. Im documenting my journey on ttc. Im on 2nd round of clomid. thanks for putting your story out there, it means a lot just for me.
Just found you guys thanks to Daily Bumps and i can't wait to see your journey and knowing you guys now have a little guy, I'm so happy for you. I teared when Ellie was crying because you guys have your bundle of joy.
urrogacy is ban in Japan.And i'm infertile due to some cancer reasons. So we moved to Europe to find surrogacy related clinics. We consulted many clinics in Europe. Than we came to know about clinics in Ukraine and we moved to Ukraine. In ukraine we found a very good clinic. Now we are having twins with the help of this clinic.The clinic gave us a very good surrogate mom.With the help of that mom we are having our two twin daughters. We are so excited and happy. Feedback and suggestions much admired.
I love how your husband is in it with you, Mine is really distant and quiet about the situation. Love it. I hope yall are blessed soon. We have been trying 2.5 years with 2 losses.
it is a sincere highlight to watch your videos, watch your dreams come true after all your hard work, faith, and determination to stay positive. you have inspired me to start a youtube channel to share my past infertility struggles that lead to the birth of our daughter and now the excitement as we anticipate baby #2! Thank you Ellie and Jared. so much love to you guys :)
I had the same experience with PCOS! I never thought I had it because I don't have weight problems, but I don't ovulate and I have a ton of cysts. Getting answers feels great! I can't wait to watch your journey as we're going through ours. We're preparing to go to a fertility specialist, too.
A very challenging deal for every struggling couple! I know this perfectly well myself as definitely belong to their number. We've been in this journey for 5 years already. And it is still unfinished. As our route came to egg donation now. I'm 40 yo, facing POF, PCOS and poor egg quality. DH - 43 yo, suffering stage 2 colon cancer. Had his chemo last summer which resulted in low sperm count. But thankfully he is still fertile with it. It seems like our fertility journey with every other year was becoming more and more complicated. New DXs adding. All in all different docs of 2 fertility clinics suggested to look onto egg donation before adoption. With this very aim we came to Ukrainian Biotexcom this year. We were surprised the process went pretty quickly from the very beginning. Donor matching program didn't take us long - not longer than 2 weeks. Then thankfully we were able to proceed with the treatment - injections and needed supplements. So this is our round#1 de ivf. Embryo transfer next week if everything's ok. (Hopefully IS!!) Praying also for everybody in this terrible waiting game - emotional roller coaster and endless hope. Let this year bring lots of baby dust to all of us!
What a touching video, I saw one of your videos come up as I was looking for Apple Watch videos and checked your channel out, I am so glad you pushed and pushed and then went your own path to find the answers, and as a result have a family. It's crazy you have to do this as if we can't get pregnant, there is no human race! But very happy it's all worked out for you guy's :)
I just started watching your video today... a youtuber that i am subscribed to ( TheNotSoOrdinaryWife ) suggested your channel as one of her october favorites and I like to thank you for sharing your infertility journey. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years now and have been struggling from day 1 to have a child... I had a miscarriage in 2009 and in the past 10 years have undergone all levels and stages of infertility treatments including 2 failed IVFs. I too have an extreme case of PCOS. Your story inspires me to keep going, keep trying and not to lose hope.
Hi Ellie and Jared! I stumbled upon your fertility journey videos and I want to thank you for making them. My husband and I have just started treatments at our fertility clinic about a month ago. I too have a running record of having irregular cycles and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby for the past year and no luck. My first appt with the ferility specialist I had an ultrasound and I too have PCOS. I really liked your doctor's explanation of what that is. I just had my HSG test today and my results came back positive! I have my follow up appt in a couple of weeks and we're going to go over the hsg results and my blood work from being on clomid for the first time.
Good luck and stay positive. I have PCOS too. We had tired to have a baby for a few years. We did comlid for 11 months and moved to IVF. we now have almost 3 year twins. Keep your head and stay strong. It's such a hard thing to go through and I feel your pain. Good luck
Hearing your story makes me realize how much I have to be thankful for. My beautiful 4 year old boy and my #2 on the way. I think you are a wonderful couple and great parents. This is an old video and you have a boy and another on the way and I wish you much happiness:)
I wish I could go back and tell you guys about the 2 beautiful babies you would eventually end up with! I watch your channel all the time, love you guys, adore your boys, and have dealt with infertility myself. I am so happy for the beautiful family you have become!
You see the difference, in the eyes. They look so sad here. But now in 2015, they look so happy!!!

I came across your channel through searching TTC. My husband and I have been on and off trying for 8 years. We got married young, he joined the military, and shortly after we got married we threw caution to the wind and let life takes its course. Nothing happened the first year, or the second year, and so on. I'm 29 now, and we finally got referred to specialist and we've finally started to see progress. Still no baby, but I've been doing injectables, trigger shot and just did my second iui. Through this journey I've realized that children are a huge blessing and so many people take it for granted. I'm so happy you all got your success and your blessing!! I pray every day my husband and I get our blessing too. It's a really really tough journey that only people who go through it understand. My heart hurts everyday when I see others just try for a month and boom! I'm happy for them, but sad for myself at the same time. All I've ever wanted was to be a mom, and I hope that I am someday.
I wish❤️❤️

It's so weird watching this video without Jackson shouting 'YEAH' or seeing Calvin's snapping turtle smile. 😁
i know :(
+Samantha Marwah Their lives have changed so much! That's one thing I love about vlogging. I hope that when my husband and I look back on our own videos in the future we'll feel the same way!

Ikr!!! So weird
I had to pause this video a few times because I was crying so hard. I had never watched your videos but decided to give it a go after Cullen mentioned you guys struggling to conceive. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for nearly 4 years. I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2011. We started Clomid in 2012 & just like you, I was never monitored. We ended up in the fertility clinic in 2013 and after that doctor explained how dangerous that truly was to be given Clomid with no supervision, we were sick and shocked.
I know your "final" story with Cullen announcing you were blessed with a brand new baby so I just HAVE to watch on!
We will be starting Clomid a little later this summer & I'm praying we will be blessed. I cried exceptionally hard when Ellie mentioned that maybe it wasn't God's timing & maybe there was a problem. Everyone tells us when God is ready for us to become parents we will. I believe that but I also believe He wants us to help ourselves so He can continue to help us. I hope that makes sense. Of course I'm crying again writing this.
It is so imperative to find others that understand the struggles we face with infertility. I agree that maybe this pain and struggle is a blessing from God that we will be forever blessed once we become parents. I just want to say thank you guys so very much for sharing your story.
Ellie and Jared MARATHON!! I've been watching you for a few months and am now starting from the beginning :)
Gsj
WOW, Ellie & Jared. I've been watching you guys for several years now, and am re-watching this video right after watching your New House Tour video!! It brings me to tears seeing how far you've come. Ellie, you were so right here. Your struggles have made you a patient, wonderful mommy. Jared, your trials alike have transformed you into the most caring, fun-loving daddy! Jackson and Cal are such little treasures and I look forward to seeing the 4 of you on my screen every day. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful life.
Just watching this now, I'm a recent subscriber, and I just wanted to congratulate you for not only having Jackson, but for being pregnant now! :D I'm so happy for you both, and wish you the best of luck, great health, and everything else good in the world for many many years to come!
***** does it work for people with pcos like me? If so I'd think I'd like to try it

Wow I just saw this in 2016 and it makes me cry with happy tears for y'all because now y'all have 2 beautiful boys 😊
Ellie was meant to be a mom and I'm so happy that she is, now looking back on this I'm so happy for them
Watching this now when you're helping 5 people go through IVF and raising awareness for everything you went through is so heart warming. I love you guys so much. You are such a blessing and I'm so glad God gave you two beautiful little boys and also gave you the means to give other people a chance to start their own families ❤️
almost 4 years later your family has expanded to 4....God answered your prayers..with Jackson and Calvin...
you guys have came a long way..who of of thought that in 2017 you would be where your at..with 2 beautiful children, a new home, a puppy and a stronger connection with your family and friends.. Life has it's up's and downs but you never lost faith and not once did you give up..even though pain and disappointment..You both are wonderful loving parents...I love watching old vlogs.. because now I know the outcome of your struggles..and how you handled it..very brave in putting your life on the internet for the world to see!!
God Bless!!!
We got married in 2012. We didn't try for the first year because he went to basic and AIT but as soon as he graduated, we tried. I've wanted to be a mother ever since I was a little girl. It does take an emotional toll on us. I cry more than a 24 year old should.
tell me about it! i just let an emotional hurricane rip through my channel which im slightly regretting now :s ! i wish you all the best my friend
And now you're at 1 million with 2 beautiful children!
😗
I love this video! I have literally watched it several times, because my husband and I went through infertility for 2 years. I also have PCOS, have had tests done and surgery. After going through the hard times, we are now pregnant with our first baby!!! 👶💗
You have given hope to so many, including myself. Your videos have helped me get through my trial, so thank you!!! 💞❤☺
My sister and her husband went through a long process of seeing doctors and doing infertility treatments. She says it was a hard and stressful process. You went through to unsuccessful IVF's plus a miscarriage. Since she was moving from Texas to California her last doctor appointment was in Texas. So on November 22 she flew out to Dallas Texasand they transferred the last two little embryosthat they had frozen.The doctor had gave her a low chance of pregnancyshe said she felt like she had no hope for this so she went and took HPT on her lunch break at Walgreens to prove she wasn't pregnant and she felt that it just wasn't going to work for her she said that she had shaky hands and almost about fell over when she saw the second line appear on her test and once again my sister did go do this multiple times so she felt throughout the whole pregnancy it wasn't true she said she used to fantasize about doing her baby shower and hearing little feet running around throughout her house she says that this is a fantasy anymore she says this is reality so on July 18, 2014 she had two babies a girl and a boy now they are three months on October 18, 2014 as I type this they are truly an amazing blessing ❤️
such a beautiful story i love these happy ending stories.
Ellie, those tears broke my heart :( But now I look at you, I see the beautiful, young, loving mother you have become. I am proud of you and Jared, you guys both have been so strong and patient and blessed with a little pumpkin :) God! I adore Jackson, he is one of the most beautiful children I have ever seen :) When a child is that beautiful, we say 'Maşallah' in my country, it means 'may God preserve him from evil'. Love you guys :)
my parents also struggled to fall pregnant and joined a fertility clinic. After 11 years at the clinic the doctors told them there was nothing else they could do. But the doctors did not know what God is capable of. So my parents prayed and God gave them 2 healthy babies, without any help from the clinic. Thanks Ellie and Jared for sharing your story.
Dear E&J, I can not thank you enough for posting this video. My husband and I are going thru the same things that you both went through. I just got my referral for a specialist. After hearing from my OBGYN that I can't get pregnant on my own, I broke down and crying. All my fears came to reality, and it's devastating. I haven't finished watching all your videos, but I can see that you dream came true, and I have hope ours will too. Thank you and good luck with all.
I just love seeing this video. It gives me such hope. I want to be a mom more than anything but struggled with infertility. I finally chalked it up to "well maybe God is just saving me from horrible situations" and for the most part, I was right! The two guys that would have been the father (two separate long term pre-marital relationships) both have kids and are not the best people. I have just found the love of my life and am getting married in about a year. This gives me so much hope. That maybe God was saving me...That there IS a chance.... I just spent a good 90 seconds flipping back and forth between the "HCG and IUI" video and the video from when you announced pregnancy with Jackson! TWO MONTHS! AAAAAHHHH!!!!!! That makes me so happy! God bless you guys. Thank you for opening MY eyes, Ellie! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
I love rewatching these videos as they give me such hope. We are still in this stage after 3 years and are constantly pushing the doctors for new options. It's such a hard process and I so appreciate that you were so open to this ❤
Back to the basics... enjoying these again as my husband and I prepare for our final IVF attempt. Fun watching again knowing how far you guys have come and seen the blessing the good Lord has provided you.
good luck with your treatment, i hope all goes well for you
Beck Wynta Thank you! You have a beautiful name. I am on stim day 7 today. I forgot how fast the process goes. 😊
I hope it went well!
After my husband and I tried for almost a year and a half, I finally decided I would try clomid. We went two months with no success, so my doctor doubled my dose for the third month, and that's when we conceived our twins. We are now almost 34 weeks pregnant with b/g twins and have a little more than 4 weeks to go. I was blessed not to have side effects from the meds and am very grateful I did decide to try it. I will say that we did many tests on both myself and my husband before trying the meds, and we always came back clear with no known reason why we weren't getting pregnant.
Igdr🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🌍🐟
I was diagnosed at 16 with PCOS a couple of days ago. Watching these vlogs has helped me so much in dealing with the fact that I have this disorder and understanding that while pregnancy may be difficult it is still very possible for me to have a family of my own one day. Thank you so much Ellie and Jared for sharing this with us and helping me and so many others in being able to accept and feel comfortable in knowing what we have. xx
I’m watching this as you’re pregnant with your third baby - this is the first of your videos that I watched almost five years ago and I’ve been so grateful to be a part of your journey since then!
Aww watching this in 2017 makes me so happy knowing you have 2 boys and wanting a third!!!
aww I know right!! well now they have 3 boys now that little Tommy Joel Mecham is here!
Right!!!! That is so amazing! Do you know if they had to do the same heavy treatment they did for the first baby for the 2nd and 3rd?
And look at you 2 now...Two beautiful baby boys! You guys give couples like us that are currently going through this so much hope! Love you E&J
I was diagnosed with PCOS almost two years ago. They put me on Metformin and all kinds of medicines to 'control' it. My husband and I decided to start trying for a baby... on our own we were unsuccessful. After tests I found out I do not ovulate. So my doctor started me on Letrozole therapy... after seeing your journey we are so excited. Y'all have given us so much hope. God bless you & your precious son!!!! :)
It's so special to come back to this video knowing now the three beautiful boys you have!! Thank for being so brave all those years ago to share your story not knowing where it was going!!!
And here you guys are now with 3 boys!!!
Im in tears right now because im going thru the same journey and its so hard ...thank you for sharing such a personal and private matter with others that are going thru the same situation and dont have someone to talk.. God Bless and you guys just answer a lot of the question that i had!
this is the video that made me fall in love with your little family. how happy i am to be a part of your family. from jacksons first steps, to calvins first tooth. i love to see how much has changed in 3ish years. now we are in love with bonnie, joel, your moms and dads, the daily bumps, katie and cullen and especially you guys. i love to see great things happen to great people. Now its time for a lil princess and a dog. may god continue to bless you, your family, and everyone you impact daily. you make me as a single mom strive to be the best single mom known. To make sure and show my kids how to love, fight, laugh, cry, and have hope. Thanks for your love and positivity. God surely broke the mold.
who else is watching this after the the 5 finalists!!! they all made me tear up

You both are strangers for us, but your words are going to make difference in our lives. It is not the person but actually his acts that survive in this world. Infertility in any of the spouse is not his individual war. In case of infertility they have to be each other's strength. A war against disappointment has to be fought by both the husband and wife. You two have did this so well. You have proved that you are partners in love and partners in grief too.
I think I found it!!!! YOUR FIRST VIDEO!? I have been watching your vlogs for 3 days straight! I actually found y'all a few months back and have been watching ever since. Anyway, my goodness you have an absolutely beautiful family. I thoroughly enjoy seeing you guys and watching your family grow. Ellie, the volgs about your miscarriages were some of the hardest and saddest videos I've seen. It definitely brought up some emotions and memories that i don't feel and think of often. I lost my son 11 years ago last month due to a brain deformity. He was a month and 3 weeks when he passed away. I believe that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan for everyone. In the last two years I have had the amazing experience in raising my sweet twin nephews with my husband and that has been a huge reason why I have coped the way that I have. Also, watching your videos has made me want to have a stronger relationship with God and It has opened my eyes to wanting to be the best person, wife, mother, and aunt that I can be. The love you two have for each other is incredible. Keep up the amazing things you two do everyday. You have brought so much joy into my life. I adore you guys so much!
My husband and I have been watching your vlog for about a month now and so we know you got your little miracle. We love watching you as a family of three! Jackson is absolutely adorable (I'm sure you hear that all the time). :) We too have struggled with infertility, only ours still remains 'unexplained.' We still have no answers to why we were never able to get pregnant on our own. But the short-of-the-long of it is after 2 years we found ourselves going through an IVF and we have been blessed with a beautiful baby girl (who is already 5-weeks old -- they grow too fast)! In any event, we turned to UA-cam to find some sort of connection with people who were going through the same thing and found it to be such a rich experience of understanding. Unfortunately we didn't run into yours before we got pregnant but wanted to say 'thank you' for having the courage to share your story on line. We know first-hand how important it is to feel you're not alone in this struggle. So 'thank you so much' for being willing to share your journey. We've thought of sharing ours in a similar way but we're on the other end of it now so doing so will be slightly different, but we'll see how the Lord directs it. In the meantime, congratulations again on your bundle of joy! We'll enjoy continuing to watch your beautiful family on your channel!
You guys are awesome. I have recently subscribed to your channel, and I adore your videos. My husband and I struggled to become pregnant for 2 years. I had lost all hope and made an appointment to see a fertility doctor, but 4 days before my appointment I discovered I was finally pregnant. Our son will be 1 next month! I really admire your courage, determination, and strength. Your ability to push through all the rough times and heartache with a smile. It truly is an inspiration to everyone who watches you. Jackson is just the cutest and you two are amazing parents and individuals. I am so excited and thrilled for your new pregnancy and to watch your journey. Thanks for sharing your story with us! You guys are the best! Xoxo
I know this was long ago but seeing Ellie cry makes me so sad 😔
Ellie and Jared you were born to get married of each others , I've noticed that Ellie complete Jared and Jared complete Ellie , now you're such a great parents to two cute kids , you're incredibly worth it . Best wishes from Iraq .
I finally decided to watch how it all started. It brings back memories for me. I still remember it so clearly. 1st yr trying ..nothing..get referred to a fertility specialist and after our 1st appt with ultrasound i found that I was covered with endometriosis and the posibilty of getting PG was very very low. After 2 surgeries, 2 miscarriages, the removal of my left tube and the right tube severly damanged from the endo, 2 ivf procedures ...7 long yrs we were FINALLY blessed with our daughter Felicia Hope. (Felicia meaning - Lucky and Hope because we were hopeful) I love that you documented this for Jackson and any other children you have. I Journalled it, and one day I can explain it all to my daughter. Unfortunaly after several attemps after her we were not successfull with another baby.. but we look at it as God blessing us with our miracle and we are very happy. Ellie you are right about truely being a more kind and gentler mom, it is soooo true, I watch my daughter EVERY day and enjoy ALL that she does. I try to savour it. ENJOY Jackson Ellie & Jared, they are truely special and time goes by VERY fast. xoxo
Hi Ellie and Jared, thank you so much for your inspiration! We are Brad and Monica, and we had gone through this process as well. Thank you for the courage to share your story. We are finally pregnant after our 4th IUI, with twins!!!! and sooooooooooooooooo happy and grateful!! Following your journey, and looking forward to meet you someday! Much love
You are so lucky that you have no weight problems or severe dietary issues with PCOS. I have it and it's awful. It didn't really hit me until after I turned 23 and had my second baby. All those years and the diet and actual eating disorder I had kept my wright in check and made it so I could get pregnant. Also I surprisingly got pregnant with my second when my son was only 4 months(they are 9 months apart). It came as a shock, but with PCOS, you are the most fertile when you just have a baby(doc told me this). I wasn't diagnosed for almost 5 years after and we really struggled to get pregnant( I gained weight which makes PCOS symptoms worse). But after educating myself on diet changes with the disorder and supplements, I lost 50 lbs and BAM, we got prego with baby #3, then 18 months later had baby #4. Hang in there and read up on supplements, healthy fats, lean proteins, low carb and green alkalizing drinks help a ton! Watch Birth controls, they make my cysts waaaay worse. Berberine and myo+ D-chiro Inisotol aid in insulin regulation and in turn regulate your testosterone levels and aid in ovulation. As does Vitex or Chaste tree berry, all herbs so it is very natural! Good luck on baby #3!!
TERE, Jared and Ellie! It has been 3 and half years since I started watching you two. Now there is four of you and I am so happy for your family and grateful to see Your journey! Wish you all the best!
Ellie looks so different and tiny here! You guys are so loving to Jackson and Calvin I can't wait to watch you guys progress with all your beautiful babies!
Watching this in 2015 can't believe now u have a baby Jackson and a new born Calvin I am so happy for u xxxx
While watching this video now knowing the two little boys that are in your life all I want to do is tell you all about them to ease your pain then. Ellie and Jared I'm so happy you're prayers were answered. You guys are amazing parents and I can't believe it's been over 2 years. I remember stumbling across your fertility clinic videos and wanting you to succeed so bad and crying with you when you finally received the good news and then again when you heard it for a second time, that was a surprise :). Your happiness is so infectious, thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Just want to say I have started to watching your videos this week, and I cannot tell you how much you have encouraged me. I have PCOS and my hubby has some issues too. we have been ttc for about a year or a little over a year now and no success. I started seeing a new doctor who is really trying to help and is optimistic she will be able to help us.it is easy to look at the negative of our situation, but watching your story has really encouraged me and motivated me to be positive and do what I have to do so that we can eventually have a healthy baby! thank you so much for posting your videos! I know you probably get a lot of these comments, but I felt that I needed to express my gratitude.
So, I've been watching your later vlogs, and I haven't seen the early stuff. I completely adore you all, and I find it very courageous that y'all are sharing your story. My husband and I are dealing with infertility, and I have PCOS. So, these vlogs are very helpful for me.
Keep me updated if it works!! Good luck.
Gosh, you guys, you don't even look like the Jared and Ellie that we are blessed to be watching on a daily basis today. I was tearing when I was watching this video! Thanks for putting yr life out for us to see. God bless.
Looks like Jared, but Ellie do6look the same now
My mom has PCOS and she and my dad tried for 6 years and had tons if treatments before she got pregnant with my older brother. Now seventeen years later, she has me and my litle sister as well. And now you guys have two healthy little boys. My mom aways tells me that even though it was hard, God had a plan. Anyway, I hope God continues to bless you and your family. :)
About to start crying after watching this video. I have constantly watched your videos for about 2 years now and just seeing you guys as SPECTACULAR parents... and then seeing this. You can just see how children has lightened and intensified your lives! Im so happy for you guys! Keep on rocking and rolling and dont let anyone tell you anything negative! You have overcome the worst part! Love you guys!!
Wow. I cried the entire time I watched this. I too have had no luck conceiving, and when I went to the doctors they said I had PCOS. They put me on Metformin, and so far it hasn't helped so they doubled my dosage. I will be going into the OBGYN in the next couple weeks to see what's going on. It's crazy how close your story hit home for me. You guys have a beautiful baby now, and I pray someday I can have one of my own as well. :)
This video still stirs me to the core. I cry watching this each time.
Looking back at these old video's and seeing where you are now gives me so much hope!! Such a beautiful family. Thanks for sharing your whole journey xx
when Ellie gets emotional in this video, i can't help myself but cry as well... good thing that you guys are finally blessed, in my case i'm still crossing my fingers and continue praying. Congrats and thank you for this inspiring video.
This video makes me so emotional, you guys look so sad and desperate I guess you could say. I'm so thankful that what you guys did with the specialist worked and now that you two have two very handsome boys, you guys are amazing parents and thank you for sharing this journey. You guys are amazing 💜
t's amazing to look back and see how far you've have come! You guys were one of the first people I ever subscribed to back when you only had around 2,000 subscribers. I watched and waited until you got your first positive pregnancy test with Jackson! I remember crying with you guys and being so excited to tell all of my friends how happy I was for you two! Your boys are beautiful and they have amazing parents. Never forget how blessed you are! Thank you for sharing your journey with all of us :)
How far you've come! So much love, loss, joy, tears, and three beautiful boys later.... congrats you guys!
Hey, Ellie and Jared. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I loved your video. Those years must have been so hard. I experienced this too. My husband and I tried to conceive for three years. I lost all hope then. but now my life has changed. I'm a mother of a beautiful little boy now. I had him through surrogacy. So glad things worked out for me.
I've been watching your videos for a while now but i have never seen this one. My husband and I have been trying for a year now and are actually taking a small break from it all. Not trying but not preventing. I came accross your channel months ago when we first started and realized we were having issues.. watching your videos gives me strength and hope. To see you two now with Jackson and baby Calvin on the way makes me so happy. Some day we hope to have what you have.
2 and a half years battling with infertility. I can say this is the first vlog that I have come across where both parties share their stories. Most of the vlogs are mainly for the women. I really do not know why men do not come out and embrace whatever that they are going through. Remember a problem shared is half solved. Not only that but it can act as inspiration to others. Especially those [people who have been through infertility and came out as parents. It is something that lets others know that infertility is not permanent. My infertility story has inspired many. Walking from clinic to clinic has been a struggle. Till when I found my final solution in bio texcom clinic, I can say that your story has really motivated me. I am always happy when I go through people who have been through infertility. I have been in the same shoe too. So at least I can relate.
How awesome to see this video 4 years later and see you two with your beautiful family of 4, in your new house, and with all the people you have helped and lives you have changed. So happy for you guys and can't wait to see your family continue to grow!
I am vbnmrjdkt I will be at the meeting on Thursday and I have to be in a good way to start a new one
This literally broke my heart and I'm in floods of tears! Following you guys has given me and my partner hope, we've have been trying for a baby for a full year, 2 of my siblings are pregnant and it sucks (I'm super happy for them)! To see you both now it's simply beautiful! 2 gorgeous boys and a perfect little family. After watching this I cannot wait for the future😊, thank you xx
You guys are blessed
Fast Forward to 2016, the Mecham's have 2 happy little boys and a puppy and are funding another struggling families journey to fertility. I love that I have watched the Mechams's since around July 2013 and have watched their family grow and develop. I cant wait to see what their future holds.
This was so encouraging and inspiring. I cried listening to it because my husband and I have been trying for our first baby. It's been six months so far with no success. My fear is my age- I am 37! Thanks for sharing your journey!
You are exactly right, the experience will make you cherish your child that much more when he finally arrives. You will feel so incredibly lucky every time you hold your baby in your arms. My husband and I went through the same thing..clomid, HSG, IUI and finally IVF. We got pregnant after 14 months of fertility treatments with twins. Sadly, they were born at 25 weeks and our daughter didn't make it. Having our son here is so bittersweet but a miracle that we are thankful for. Good Luck!
Seeing this video again, knowing where you and your family are now with Jackson, Calvin, and newborn Tommy, just reminds me how effing strong you both are. You are an AMAZING couple and such an inspiration to me and my family. As weird as it sounds, it feels like you are my close friends in a way because you were there for me and kept me sane while I was with my newborn and basically bound to my bedroom. (Yay fourth trimester!) Thank you for sharing your lives with me and so many others. I love you all!!!
Just getting a chance to watch this. You both encouraged me to document my journey for my family & friends too. Ellie, I thought the SAME thing too. I'm 24, I'm a healthy weight, everything... So it was a total shock for me when I found out. Thank you guys for documenting this, love the daily vlogs!
I hope that you go back and watch these videos of early days and that they make you grateful for the great blessings of Jackson and Calvin. I think it's wonderful that they will get to see these videos one day and see how much you wanted them and how loved they are.
I conceived after 10 months of trying, i had pcos and with first round of clomid, miracle happened. I saw two lines (yeaaahhh)!!! :D He's 10 months now but still when I memorize that moment, it makes me emotional :)

Hi Ellie & Jared I love watching you guys! I live in kc where julie does :).. I am almost 23 been married for 3 years and still struggling to concieve. You guys give me such hope!! I know God has a plan for me! I won't give up on my pcos journey. Please pray for my husband and I and our future babies :)
I started watching y'all a couple of months ago and y'all are such an inspiration. My husband and I have been trying for 2 years and we did get pregnant but we miscarried at 8 weeks. I then found out I had PCOS and they started me on Metformin to help it. And it hasn't helped so far but we are still praying for a tiny miracle. We went to a fertility doctor bc they thought my uterus was heart shaped so they done the HSG test and did several ultrasounds and they don't believe that it will be a problem bc its not that bad. Anyways, they started me on Clomid and the Clomid didn't help so after I have cried and been depressed, I finally went back to the doctor and she told me to lose weight (bc I gained a bunch of weight bc of the PCOS) and take the Metformin more and in April were going to check my glucose levels (they were really high and thats why the Clomid didn't work) and then they will put me back on the Clomid and she thinks that I will get pregnant when I start it. Seeing yall go through the same exact thing we are going through I mean to the tea almost has been so inspiring and I love to watch yall bc yall have so much JOY & LOVE for all the people that watch and you dont have to keep us updated on what happens but yall care so much that yall do!!! Sorry for being so long but its just amazing to hear someones story that's like Michael and I is AMAZING. God Bless y'all.
I just found you all but I am glad that I did. I have recently been diagnosed with PCOS... I am obese, but I have many other issues as well and to watch you guys and hear what you guys say is inspiring and I hope that we get a little miracle soon too! Thanks for sharing! :)
We've been trying for over 7 years with 1 loss... I'm so glad you're going to be a mommy! Pray with us please that we'll soon have our blessing as well?
I have just recently found your channel and you guys have given us so much hope. We are just starting our TTC with PCOS journey and it so comforting to watch your videos, thank you so much for sharing. You are doing such a great thing by sharing your story so THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU and congratulations on Jackson and all the best with Calvin xx
I have been watching your journey since you got the good news! I found you guys looking at ttc when me and my fiancé first started trying and I watched your journey and came back to this video to see where you guys began! It is amazing to see the positivity and I completely began to tear up when you did Ellie! We have just been advised there's a high possibility that we need to go through IVF which makes me completely understand what you guys have dealt with! I know there's positivity in ttc and I completely agree that it will make you a better mother! I love watching your journey guys!
Thanks for this, Ellie and Jared! This is helpful. It helps even more to see your dreams of parenthood have come true--makes us feel like our time might come! Fingers crossed that our IVF treatments take!
You guys inspire me. So positive!! Ive been TTC for 15 months & I'm on my first cycle on femera & trigger I'm very positive!! Xo
good luck sweetheart. there is no better feeling in the world, to have a baby.

so happy to find your videos..so happy for yall! I have been trying for a little over 2 and half years. I am about to start my first fertility treatment cycle in end of May/June. Very nervous, excited, scared, happy..its so nice to find people that go through similar issues ..only they know how you feel.
Yup...I have/had PCOS and my husband and I were trying for a year. I asked for an ultrasound though, my doctor at first ordered blood tests first and the second visit I had the ultrasound and the cysts showed up in both my ovaries clear as day. I am was not overweight, did not have diabetes, no health issues whatsoever.....I am lucky to say that I am now the proud mother of a 6 week old baby boy! I was prescribed clomid and the month I was to take it, I was waiting for my period and cycle to start but it never did....I was already pregnant!!! I am so happy that your have two adorable boys now!
Thanks for letting v I am not able to get to the airport to pick it up tomorrow morning to
😋😊☺😊😀😶😋😐😚😐😑😎😎😅😉😑😊😶😊🍠🍝🍢🍳
unbelievable that they can video this and there boys can watch this later on in there life, love ellie and jared !
I also have PCOS, we've been pregnant twice (the first time it just took being on metformin) both babies we lost in the 2nd trimester. Last month marked our 8th year of ttc. Thank you so much for your videos they've given me hope.
I love that you guys encourage others along your journey!!
Hey! I am so happy for you. It is very hard to overcome such loss. I had 3 miscarriages and then I had many medical complications. So at last resort, I had to choose surrogacy. I went to a clinic and they provided me a healthy surrogate. I am so happy now I have twin daughters. That clinic is in Ukraine. I would recommend that clinic to everyone.
Why did I not watch this when I first found you two. I too have been trying with hubby and it's almost 3 years in December. I started going to an OBGYN beginning of last year. And my tubes are open and I was going to start treatment but because of hubby being so busy with work it was hard to do his part (sperm testing) so we put things on hold. You guys have answered a lot of my questions. I've taken ovulation test and I always get a positive every month but still not pregnant. I've always read you can have a false positive but wasn't sure if it was true but now I know it's true. This video have been very informative and helpful. I'm so ready to start back up at where we left off with our OBGYN to continue with treatments. Money is our problem but it shouldn't be an excuse. I'm so happy for you both. I'm just now seeing the video of welcoming your guys son. Thank you for sharing your journey.
I'm sorry that you had to deal with infertility. I am infertile too but I never lost hope like you guys. I tried for myself and I have a baby now via surrogacy. I'm glad that I took a wise decision. It makes me happy that people are now acting wisely. Congratulations for your kids. It's amazing how you struggled so hard. Good luck with your future!
Watching your videos have really touched my heart.As far as i know I dont have any infertility problems BUT my parents did.It was my dad that had the problem. They tried to conceive for 6 years and spent all their money on fertility treatments. I was born the next year and i am now 22y/o and my brother is 21. Looking at your videos gives me a sense of how their lives were when they tried to give me life n how much they cried n prayed 4 me.I just wanted to congratulate u guys 4 ur miracle baby
this made me cry, just wanted to say you give us ladies hope. Im documenting my journey on ttc. Im on 2nd round of clomid. thanks for putting your story out there, it means a lot just for me.
Just found you guys thanks to Daily Bumps and i can't wait to see your journey and knowing you guys now have a little guy, I'm so happy for you. I teared when Ellie was crying because you guys have your bundle of joy.
urrogacy is ban in Japan.And i'm infertile due to some cancer reasons. So we moved to Europe to find surrogacy related clinics. We consulted many clinics in Europe. Than we came to know about clinics in Ukraine and we moved to Ukraine.
In ukraine we found a very good clinic.
Now we are having twins with the help of this clinic.The clinic gave us a very good surrogate mom.With the help of that mom we are having our two twin daughters.
We are so excited and happy.
Feedback and suggestions much admired.
I love how your husband is in it with you, Mine is really distant and quiet about the situation. Love it. I hope yall are blessed soon. We have been trying 2.5 years with 2 losses.
it is a sincere highlight to watch your videos, watch your dreams come true after all your hard work, faith, and determination to stay positive. you have inspired me to start a youtube channel to share my past infertility struggles that lead to the birth of our daughter and now the excitement as we anticipate baby #2! Thank you Ellie and Jared. so much love to you guys :)
I had the same experience with PCOS! I never thought I had it because I don't have weight problems, but I don't ovulate and I have a ton of cysts. Getting answers feels great! I can't wait to watch your journey as we're going through ours. We're preparing to go to a fertility specialist, too.
A very challenging deal for every struggling couple! I know this perfectly well myself as definitely belong to their number. We've been in this journey for 5 years already. And it is still unfinished. As our route came to egg donation now. I'm 40 yo, facing POF, PCOS and poor egg quality. DH - 43 yo, suffering stage 2 colon cancer. Had his chemo last summer which resulted in low sperm count. But thankfully he is still fertile with it. It seems like our fertility journey with every other year was becoming more and more complicated. New DXs adding. All in all different docs of 2 fertility clinics suggested to look onto egg donation before adoption. With this very aim we came to Ukrainian Biotexcom this year. We were surprised the process went pretty quickly from the very beginning. Donor matching program didn't take us long - not longer than 2 weeks. Then thankfully we were able to proceed with the treatment - injections and needed supplements. So this is our round#1 de ivf. Embryo transfer next week if everything's ok. (Hopefully IS!!) Praying also for everybody in this terrible waiting game - emotional roller coaster and endless hope. Let this year bring lots of baby dust to all of us!
What a touching video, I saw one of your videos come up as I was looking for Apple Watch videos and checked your channel out, I am so glad you pushed and pushed and then went your own path to find the answers, and as a result have a family. It's crazy you have to do this as if we can't get pregnant, there is no human race! But very happy it's all worked out for you guy's :)
I just started watching your video today... a youtuber that i am subscribed to ( TheNotSoOrdinaryWife ) suggested your channel as one of her october favorites and I like to thank you for sharing your infertility journey. My husband and I have been married for almost 10 years now and have been struggling from day 1 to have a child... I had a miscarriage in 2009 and in the past 10 years have undergone all levels and stages of infertility treatments including 2 failed IVFs. I too have an extreme case of PCOS. Your story inspires me to keep going, keep trying and not to lose hope.
Hi Ellie and Jared! I stumbled upon your fertility journey videos and I want to thank you for making them. My husband and I have just started treatments at our fertility clinic about a month ago. I too have a running record of having irregular cycles and my husband and I have been trying to have a baby for the past year and no luck. My first appt with the ferility specialist I had an ultrasound and I too have PCOS. I really liked your doctor's explanation of what that is. I just had my HSG test today and my results came back positive! I have my follow up appt in a couple of weeks and we're going to go over the hsg results and my blood work from being on clomid for the first time.
Good luck and stay positive. I have PCOS too. We had tired to have a baby for a few years. We did comlid for 11 months and moved to IVF. we now have almost 3 year twins. Keep your head and stay strong. It's such a hard thing to go through and I feel your pain. Good luck
Hearing your story makes me realize how much I have to be thankful for. My beautiful 4 year old boy and my #2 on the way. I think you are a wonderful couple and great parents. This is an old video and you have a boy and another on the way and I wish you much happiness:)
I wish I could go back and tell you guys about the 2 beautiful babies you would eventually end up with! I watch your channel all the time, love you guys, adore your boys, and have dealt with infertility myself. I am so happy for the beautiful family you have become!
