E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
This is why I didn't comment on whether I thought she was pregnant or not. I didn't want to say I thought she wasn't pregnant and then see her smug bitch "told you so, I know my body" smile lol

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I just think Ellie actually lets herself eat when she's TTC or pregnant. But she was definitely lying when she said she's been the same weight since Junior High. She's up 6 pounds right? Well her boobs and arms still aren't as big as they were when she met Jared.ewokfan11 wrote:The sign to me that she's known for a long time (maybe several weeks) is her admitting she's already gained SIX pounds. Maybe she's exaggerating, but don't most people gain about six pounds during the entire first trimester? Obviously she has a lot ground to makeup being underweight, but six pounds even six weeks pregnant would be a bit much.
Then....
Now...
I also found this pic from just a couple years ago. Jared is NOT aging well!

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
There's a few things throwing me off here. First, they said in the beginning that they tested last night and it was still negative and they were thinking "okay maybe, we aren't pregnant." THEN they show her reading the test and talking to someone on the phone saying that there is a "faint line". So that confuses me.
Second, if she really were further along, the line would be darker. There wouldn't be any reason for them to show a pregnancy test with such a faint line that it almost isn't even visible. So that makes no sense.
Honestly, I think Ellie is losing her mind. I think she wants to be pregnant so damn bad that she is seeing a line and Jared is going along with it.
There's no other explanation! If she were further along why wouldn't she just show a good test? What do they get out of showing an almost non existent line?!
Either way I can not believe these two. And to call everyone?! When the line is THAT faint?!

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I just can't even.... I mostly lurk here, but today was too much. Background: I've been actively TTC for 6 years and have never gotten pregnant.
I do know that some ppl do no longer have trouble conceiving after having a successful pregnancy. I know lots of ppl in real life that have had this happen. However, they are NEVER cocky about it like E&J... They never assume it will happen quickly! This whole thing has been SOOOO weird!
This was so fake and staged and their reactions were so odd! I saw a faint almost non existent line on the bottom test, but it looked like an EVAP to me. I have seen lines like that on blue dye tests before, but I have always ended up not pregnant! How is she considering these tests positives???? Especially blue dye!!! Here are my possible theories:
Option 1: She is pregnant but these were her old faint/faded tests and she has known for a while.
That night time clip could have been really old.
Option 2: She is not pregnant and they photoshopped the test in the thumbnail and are going to stage a miscarriage.
I think Option 1 is more likely, but I would not be surprised if option 2 happens.
I just don't see how anyone that struggled with infertility could be so cruel and insensitive. Mother's Day is the hardest day of the year. To call the infertile couples and and announce a pregnancy on this day.... Especially when it looks like it is fake/staged is just so disgusting and hurtful. I don't understand why ppl like this get kids. She doesn't even like her first sweet little boy. I can't believe I used to like them, but in defense of all of us who did. They have changed so drastically since Calvin was born. It is so sad. Their lives are so fake and pretend now. "Do it for the vlog" takes on a whole new meaning with these two.
OK rant over.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
First of all, as soon as I saw that blog title I said FFS and came straight here where it had gone from one page to ten pages and I knew you'd all be saying what I was thinking. Yep! Lol.
Second, let's face it, Jared only gets laid when his queen wants a baby so he was verrrrrry loaded up, it would have been more unlikely to not get pregnant than it was to get pregnant (I am just being facetious btw )
Thirdly, this whole IF thing grinds my gears! Personal: My whole family has had fertility issues, most of them have had to use IVF and even that took years after multiple miscarriages, in fact, I'm here thanks to IVF. It took my husband and I a year to conceive and we thankfully were able to do it naturally. Being that it only took a year (we were lucky!) we wouldn't run around shouting IF from the roof tops like E+J who can get pregnant just by washing their underwear together. Ridiculously insensitive of them to people who are actually struggling to conceive especially with the whole IVF grants they just did.
You guys better not be right about this being stage 1 of a bigger plan with stage 2 just around the corner - I gave them benefit of the doubt and didn't think they'd have a Mother's Day announcement but nothing is beyond them I guess.
I have to say though, remember in the beginning it seemed like this wasn't something she wanted, more like Jared was forcing it from a business perspective? Now it's her that is loco over it. I really thought she was just telling herself what she wanted to hear and was going to magic a baby into her womb lol.

E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
This comment is mostly in response to the ones on the vlog defending E&J, but I want to put it here so it can't be deleted and so lurkers can see it and might understand why announcing on Mother's Day isn't sensitive.
Mother's Day is the worst day of the year. It's a reminder of where you are in life, where you want to be and what you can't have. It's EMPTY. You feel lost, alone, and hope is diminishing. You want to be a good person and find joy in others' fortune and happiness, but at the same time it's a painful reminder of something that feels just out of reach.
Imagine you are in this place but trying to hold it together and stay positive. Then imagine a "friend" calls you up "just to let you know" the news. They then proceed to talk about how they are feeling and how thankful and blessed they are, as you are forced to listen and pretend you are fine. It isn't ok to not be fine.... no one wants to appear mean or bitter.
That is what Ellie did to so many people yesterday by her own admission. She called people at one of the most sensitive moments of their lives and introduced more pain and sadness. A painful reminder on a day that already is in itself a blinding and heartbreaking reminder.
Normal people don't think like this. They don't have the ability to be so insensitive and demanding of others. Send an email or text. Don't call and tell people and put them in a position to choose their feelings over yours. Use your manners, and just be kind. Ellie didn't call her IF "friends" to be sensitive. She did it for the reward of seeing her success in their pain. Then to pay themselves on the back in the vlog for being so sensitive as to think of these couples.... that's just sick and Narcissistic af.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I hope she is pregnant, for Jackson's sake. You could see the wheels turning in his head when they told him. He may not understand exactly what's going on, but he's expecting a sibling. I would hate for him to have to experience that loss because they didn't wait at all. The "hello darkness my old friend" part made me sad. They know who they favor and don't care who knows it at this point.

E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I was already feeling sorry for him because I felt they weren't putting enough thought into how and when to tell him. I didn't think the song clip was funny, only more sad. Most parents feel at least slight guilt for adding a sibling. It's not a funny moment at all.Caisflame wrote:I hope she is pregnant, for Jackson's sake.

I'm so sorry for your struggles, I'm in the same boat as you. And I 100% agree with your post.bunny88 wrote:

They couldn't wait ONE DAY to announce the pregnancy? Go to the store, pick up a digital test so there was no question, tell their whole family on Mother's Day (they only show us 10 minutes of their day! SHould be no problem to leave the pregnancy stuff out), then do a special announcement for today (tomorrow's vlog)
Ellie knew exactly what she was doing. She wants to gloat that SHE is pregnant and all those infertiles aren't. Maybe she isn't THAT callous, but she's the smuggest bitch I ever did see so it certainly seems that way. The sheer amount of times she's mentioned people she knows who struggle with IF in the past few vlogs just has me wondering if she isn't in it to win it.

Leave it to Ellie to make Mother's Day only apply to and about herself

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
Kateka just confirmed on Instagram that they found out last night from E & J. Mother's Day is a shitty day to begin with for those with infertility and then to find out that they got pregnant first month first try and these couples have to go through IVF for a *chance* to get pregnant. Awesome guys, way to go.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I wonder when Ellie will go to the doctor for confirmation, because I didn't see anything on the vlog that looked like a positive pregnancy test. I've seen plenty of pregnancy test reactions on YouTube, it's not that hard to focus the camera and see a second line or not. The fact that they couldn't do that, or get a digital test, is very suspicious to me. There were even people in the comments that recommended waiting to get blood work done because it just didn't look like a positive. I'm sure those comments are deleted by now. If there was a second line, why couldn't Jared get a shot of it for the vlog? I don't think I've ever seen a pregnancy test reactions video where the couple has claimed they're pregnant but never showed a positive test result.
Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I don't know how to quote on my phone, so this is in response to Pency.
I am so sorry you are struggling as well. I completely agree with you. Wait a day or two or maybe even a week. Especially when your tests are that faint. Don't call infertile women on mother's day. Just don't. I think some ppl think we are being selfish, but they don't understand.
It is not that we aren't excited for our loved ones to get pregnant. We just wish so bad that we could be, too. Mother's Day is this yearly reminder. This was my 7th Mother's Day since we started TTC. It is a day that reminds us of what we could have if we didn't suffer from infertility. We are so happy for all our mother friends... But it hurts because we want to be part of it. We want sweet babies to hold and cheeks to kiss more than anything.
I don't want to speak for all IF women. This is my experience and feelings, and I have heard many women share it.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
Please tell me E&J don't change the boys in the kitchen! When Ellie was talking to her mom you could clearly see baby wipes and powder laid out (not just placed) on the counter.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I think they announced on Mother's Day because it's a brand deal with ClearBlue. ClearBlue is notorious for using social media "celebs" to do these sorts of ads, and a Mother's Day vlog would be a peak day for their #AD. E&J probably knew for awhile, but they probably planned with ClearBlue to integrate the ad specifically for Mother's Day.
Also, it makes more sense that Ellie would pose with that gross ovulation test at Disney if they are working with ClearBlue.
It's all about the $$$$$$$!!! It's just troubling that most YTers never disclose when things are #ADs anymore.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
I honestly do not see another line, I've tried messing with a few effects and can't see it. With that said... If they do end up faking this whole pregnancy thing just to get more views off of a miscarriage would just be awful. I really hope they don't do that... Hasnt Jareds' sister-in-law gone through a couple of them already? I can't remember their names... But I do remember Jared saying to go send them love because they miscarried. They're horrible people faking to be just the best most kindhearted people out there but I don't think they'd stoop THAT low.

Re: E+J - The Phantom Fetus! Part 25
Yeah, I don't know what to think anymore. I caved and watched the vlog a little more and in the several clips with the two or three pregnancy tests, I didn't see a line (a plus sign). However in the pic on Twitter the line is visible. Maybe Photoshop, or a different test. But it's definitely weird that there's no shot of a clearly positive test in the vlog.alienmellow2 wrote:I honestly do not see another line, I've tried messing with a few effects and can't see it.

I had to dig into my photos and I did one of those CB plus tests last year when I was 14 DPO and the line was faint but very visible. And I did another one when I was maybe 17 DPO and the line was strong, a solid blue line. And I was really pregnant, but sadly had a 2nd trimester miscarriage.
But I guess we'll find out how far along Ellie is... or at least how they will show it in the vlogs. I don't trust anything they do anymore.
