Same, I'm watching it right now and it's so stressful. My partner underwent chemo as a teenager -which might have impacted his fertility- and while we're not having kids anytime soon it's always at the back of my mind that I might be having the same problems as Hannah in a few years. You can tell both of them are tired and stressed and I really feel for her. Hope it all works out for her in the end.
I did she was actually telling him some of this before she spoke on camera because it seemed in parts he was finding it out for the first time....
Is it just me that has this in the back of my mind? Like I’m getting closer to having kids and I always just think maybe it won’t happen and because you really have to ask and push for results etc in the uk maybe I’m just more aware due to my mum and her speaking about it etc
No it isn’t just you! I think where you’re younger you assume that you will have children but when it becomes something you begin to consider you start to worry. I also began to think of the times I wasn’t that careful and nothing happened!! It did take year and half for me to fall pregnant but it did happen
It’s something that plays on my mind too. I’ve had some of the same surgeries as Hannah so know it won’t be straight forward when we do start trying. I can’t imagine sharing that private journey with close friends and family never mind the whole of the internet though.
I can't say I notice it anymore but it might be because she's usually relaying/reading out information in those videos? It might also be because she's just stressed and trying to mask it on camera.
Thats what I meant about dan i'm sure he is onboard with having the baby but he just looked so uncomfortable while she was reading him the information. I hope he is happy for this to be public its a very personal thing particuarly now its not all going according to plan. I hope they both feel able to step back from doing this publicly if needed instead of feeling like now they've started doing it they can't back down
No idea. It must be frustrating for her, there’s so little information to go on. She even said that she suspects the IUD caused the flare up but the doctors said they can’t be certain. In any case she’s been on hormonal birth control all her life, it sometimes takes over a year for the body to return to normal rhythms.
Yeah, I am not a doctor but I been told that after being on contraceptives for so long it will take up to a year to just have a normal cycle. For what she said on her videos she went really into trying to conceive right after removing the iud and before her body was on a normal cycle that she could track. I feel like they put way to much pressure on themselves on those first few months when in reality they should have a year when it could happen but it was impossible to plan it. And now they are mentally exhausted because they put all their energy on trying to get pregnant during a time when it was harder than normal.
No it shouldn’t but her surgeries probably will have an effect. Women with UC who haven’t had surgery have the same fertility as the general population but after abdominal surgery that can decrease by up to 50%.
I am not a doctor either but have UC and was discussing emergency surgery at some point, every doctor i spoke to did mention that it could affect having children in the future although i don’t know the ins and outs. I was only 19 at the time so didn’t get into detail.
It’s to do with internal scarring after surgery. There’s a risk of this causing blockages around your Fallopian tubes. The more surgeries you have the greater the risk.
I used to watch her like 5 years ago, and was curious so watched a recent video and was surprised at how different she sounded. Went back to watch a 2016 video and she did sound so different!
I agree! I always feel petty for being annoyed by this, but she has a really stunted way of speaking now, full of strangely timed pauses. That along with the way she makes a really sharp high-pitched sound every time she says the letter 's' makes her pretty hard to listen to. I am still trying to though, because I think her hormone diaries series is very vulnerable interesting content.
