      Nature's Calling- demonetization refers to a UA-cam video that can’t earn revenue from ads. I’m not a UA-camr so I don’t understand how it all works, but it’s a decision that UA-cam makes. Mama Doctor Jones is an OBGYN who posts educational videos about women’s health and her videos get demonitized
      all the time. It’s ridiculous.

      Vanessa F yah basically I guess the advertisers decide what is not “appropriate” content and content about Ivf and miscarriage etc may be too “controversial” for them 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

    Hey Abbey, I can't watch this video at the moment because I know it would be too close to home and too raw and painful for me BUT I really want to say huge HUGE thank you to you for talking about this (oh god I'm crying). I will watch when I can but it is just so SO valuable when people TALK about this. It's the only thing that makes me feel less alone. Peace out from a long time fan.
    And a huge, intensely heartfelt CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

      @@AbbeysKitchen ...I finally plucked up the courage to watch. Don't know why I was so scared - I think just knowingly exposing myself to so much emotion! What an incredible story and video. Thank you so much for sharing your heart and hope. So much resonated with me but especially when you said about needing to be doing SOMETHING to move forward. We are at a point of dead end, very little hope. You've reminded me that I CAN keep going and there is hope even if it seems like only a miracle would enable me to have another baby (secondary infertility for us. I'm so grateful to you for acknowledging that infertility is still soul destroying when it's for baby #2). I would LOVE to hear about these alternative methods! Well done for surviving 2019 you absolute boss. 💪🏼💔💔❤

I LOVE when women open up about their fertility struggles... it’s SO much more common than anyone ever realized and openly discussing it is the only way to remove the stigma that is so unnecessarily placed on this topic. I was TTC for 2 years and spent practically all of 2019 going through fertility treatments which ended in IVF. We did our transfer in November and it worked!! I’m 15 weeks tomorrow. Still pinching myself!! 🥰 Soooo happy for you and I can’t wait to see more of your pregnancy journey!! THANK YOU again for sharing all these details about your journey!!! ❤️❤️❤️

    This video was so comforting for me to watch, 13 days out from an embryo transfer. This is our second transfer. The first one ended because of severe fetal abnormalities at 5 months, so the trauma of losing my son is deeply with me. I also have PCOS. All I've been able to think about (I have generalized anxiety) is how my stress/anxiety could affect this process. And though I know it wasn't your intent, knowing how much you stressed during your pregnancy and still got pregnant and reached the point that you feel comfortable announcing gives me so much hope. I've been stressing about stressing and then upset that I'm stressing about stressing. TY for sharing your journey.
    Also, it sounds like I am where you were a year ago, which feels special that I happened upon this video. If this embryo takes hold, he will be an end of July or early August baby.

    Congrats Abbey!!! I am so happy for you!! Once again I need to thank you so very much for your openness and honesty. I am G6, P1 while mine were not IVF and I can't even imagine how hard this journey has been for you, I hear you. It is so, so hard to miscarry. My heart goes out to you and your husband. Your bravery in first going through this journey, and then to share it is truly astounding. Some of the more unusual boy names that we loved and never got to use are Ronan, Stuart, Naveed, and Oscar. Every Leo I know is a very glass half full type person, and all of them have good hair. My daughter and one of my closest friends are both Virgos and both are perfectionists, dreamers, worriers, and very loyal, giving people.

    Possible Zodiac Signs of your Little One:
    Natal Chart
    • Sun: Virgo
    • Moon: Libra
    • Ascendant: Scorpio
    • MC: Leo
    I would say that the most important signs are the sun, moon, and rising (ascendant) signs. Together they will make up the majority of your child’s character traits.
    According to the Chinese zodiac, your child will be a metal (or iron) rat. This is actually good! Humans who were born in the year of the Rat (chinese sign 子) have a genuine, charming nature - complemented with a bright personality.
    Good luck and congratulations! 🎉🎊🎈

    • @ElnaKristin

It was the scariest moment in my life. It ended up being a subchorionic hemotoma and yet still that horrible night made me scared this whole pregnancy that it will end. To have gone through what you’ve gone through and still keep trying is so amazing! I am praying for a safe delivery for you and that you will have peace of mind during your pregnancy.

    Happy for you having come through all this. Love that you mentioned their potential star sign! Leo is fire so would fit perfectly with Aries and sag (also fire) but makes for a rather explosive, opinionated household lol. Virgo is earth so potentially more grounding. Virgo is into purity and perfectionism, so mindfulness and self acceptance are essential for bringing balance (but that literally goes for everyone). Congrats on your growing family, it’s great to talk about these difficult journeys but so so important. Also I’m so enraged that UA-cam would demonetise videos that speak honestly about female experience, I feel like this needs to be brought to greater attention and protested. The silencing needs to stop.
