I have a child at 40 via sperm donation from the University. He just graduated in anthropology. I raised him by myself financially, physically, and emotionally. He is a wonderful young man and very very handsome
I always say it's women who physically have to endure more in life in general but then I hear this story and giving my hats off to Larry here. No whining, great attitude....much respect!
I was actually born through IVF. My parents tried for years to conceive but they were a little older and they had no luck. So they went through with IVF and the fertilized egg split into three. They got lucky and had triplets, and I’m so happy to have two amazing brothers! Best of luck 💜
That's awesome that your parents were given the gift of life through IVF ☺️ however, if one embryo split into 3, you would have two sisters (not brothers) and you would all be identical! If your brothers are identical twins, then it's likely they put two embryos back. If they are not identical twins, then they would have put three embryos back into your Mum (which was very common 10+ years ago when the success rates were quite a bit lower).
@@milesandbos you’re right! I’ve never been told the whole story, but that sounds more right. I believe they implanted three fertilized eggs hoping one would become an embryo and then they all did (which was very unlikely)! Thanks for clearing that up for me, I totally misconstrued what I meant by that.
I can’t recommend Florida fertility institute enough. We have 3 children thanks to them. Andrea is the IVF nurse, she responsive and honest. Dr. Zbella is so caring and realistic with expectations. They also have really good financing options
When you think about it, this is so amazing. Usually it’s only the women who have to endure pain, hospital visits and possible procedures. But for this baby both mom and dad had to put in the work, get a procedure done, be on bed rest etc. Larry is such a wonderful man!
At the moment I am pregnant with our second child. Our son we got through ivf (icsi) in our first try. And this time it worked again in our first try. I have to say I am so thankful that in the Netherlands, where I'm from you don't have to pay for the first 3 tries, it is standard insured. Otherwise we would not have been able to have kids. Hope it all works out for you two and you will have a little bundle of joy in your arms soon. Hugs from the Netherlands.
I'm crying sitting on the couch watching this this morning. I'm super emotional when it comes to babies lately as the baby fever is REAL. I'm so happy you guys are starting a new journey and I hope that this all works out! I have my fingers and toes crossed and sending all the baby dust your way. Much love ❤❤
My husband had a vascetomy in 2017, and we thought we was done having children but we aren't ❤️ so this video was very inspiring for us! Sending all kind of love your way! 💗💗💗
I have been trying to have a baby for 11 years I have fertility issues and pcos and some other health issues .. But watching your videos gives me hope that I'll one day have my rainbow baby ❤💚💜💙💛 love you Mindy and Larry your amazing
@hannahgray yea my sister wasnt diagnosed with pcis til after she had her 3 boys but my husband just found out he has a blood disorder so dr might tell us to do adoption due to complications the baby could get if I can even get pregnant i have one baby in heaven but I was only like 6 weeks
So I just did 2 years of IVF & I had no clue what all went into it until going through. I know there is a lot of info they don’t tell you like the progesterone, etc. but I wanted to tell you some things I learned. I know you said the soonest you could do it was June or July & said you would have a spring baby but just know that once you start with the egg retrieval, it can be a few months before transferring depending if you do a fresh transfer or not. With a fresh transfer, they would have you start meds the day after retrieval & on the 5th day when you should have a blastocyst (embryo), they would put it back into you. I wouldn’t recommend it personally because the stats are higher with frozen transfers. You also will have the choice of genetic testing them which is to check & make sure all of the chromosomes are there and lined up correctly so it would find things like Down’s syndrome, trisomys that are incompatible with life, & things like that. Usually they say about 50-65% are normal so doing the testing just reduces your chance of miscarriage or the transfer not taking because your body will Try to not hold on to something that won’t be a healthy baby. This way when you go to transfer, they would only transfer embryos that are normal & you’re not wasting more time & money. They also never told me to expect my numbers to drop quite a bit as you go... like I had 10 eggs retrieved, only 5 were mature & luckily all 5 fertilized but only 4 made it to day 5 turning into an embryo and then of the 4, only 2 were genetically normal. Also, just know to expect the unexpected as far as delays and what not. Like they find a cyst or your lining of your uterus isn’t thick enough, & plenty other things. There’s a ton more I could go in detail & give you a heads up so feel free to reach out. My IG is @J.m.g.designs. Best of luck to you guys. It’s a tough journey but so worth it. I did IVF solely because of male factor infertility also. Love and prayers!
“A child who is longed for is loved” omg I absolutely love this quote Mindy!!! 💜 I could cry! I’m so beyond happy for you guys and am praying this works out 💞💞 love you guys!!
For couples deciding on ivf or not, i recommend figuring out worst case/highest amount you're willing to spend...meaning what is your absolute cap with the highest amount of invasive procedures/alternative options? So, if that number is 50k...then that might mean you're willing to go one(maybe two)round of ivf, a few rounds of IUI, and have adoption options. If your number is 25k, then you can say...I'm going to do one round of ivf, one or two rounds of IUI, and possibly a foster to adopt situation. Obviously, you'll want to decide what options work for you, but I think it really is helpful to look at maximums first. Otherwise you're spending IUIs and incrementally raising your bill and then not realize when you've hit a point that a more expensive option is now off the table.
You both thought it would work first time and it didn't. Pregnancy isn't just something that happens first, second or third time. So important to research and be realistic. Great that others can learn from this!
Been watching your journey for awhile. I’m so happy you are taking the next step toward IVF. I had IVF last fall and it worked the very first time we tried even with both of us being older (I’m 42 and hubby is 53). I really admire your positivity and perseverance. Best wishes to you both!! ❤️🙂
Honestly it still blows my mind the clinic didn’t advise you of the statistics of IUI way in advance of you actually doing it 😔 You guys are strong and you will get what you desire 💕
Omg the “keep swimming” killed me. Me and boyfriend took 4 years to conceive, his swimmers couldn’t find the exit lol but we got 1 and now our son is a happy 2 year old
20,000... does that break only my heart or what? You two are so strong and you guys must remember no matter what, you two will have each other, through the ups and downs... that's love 💖💕💖❣
Men still produce sperm after a vasectomy, however because it has nowhere to go, it just dies off. What can happen over time though is a reduction in sperm production due to 'lack of space' for the sperm produced (it has nowhere to go so it tends to build up) as well as due to ageing.
@@krmh75 the only unfortunate thing about vasectomies is that sperm that is 'stuck' can become damaged due to heat and other processes (along with ageing) and this reduces its quality, or ability to create viable embryos. Sometimes men have to use a donor if the quality just isn't there. I hope Larry and Mindy have success 🤞
Thinking I would want to adopt an infant only, we adopted a 34 month old girl from Uzbekistan. He had two kids from a previous relationship. Then 10 & 6 LOng story short ALeah became our daughter. I asked hubby if there was a love feeling difference between biological or adopted. He said I love our adopted girl most. ALeah is now 30 and engaged to marry her love. With all your connections, you may hear of a baby soon to be born. Don’t deny that little one love from you two! I adore the my daughter. I’m praying for you two.
I’m wishing you guys so much luck and praying hard for you ! I wish I could do this with my hubby (he’s 66 and I’m 42) had a vasectomy over 25 years ago as well..but I had my tubes tied 18 years ago. To think about it, it would be great to have a biological baby as well. I know this will work out, even if adoption is the final ending. Stay positive! I love you guys and wishing Larry speedy recovery! ❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely LOVE to see how happy and in love you guys are. My husband and I are 15 years apart as well and the second I laid eyes on him I knew he was the one. We have 4 kids together but he has 2 other daughters and about 11 grandkids. I cant wait to see you guys with your babies/baby.
My husband & I cherish your videos. We are praying, hoping, and rooting for you guys. These videos are incredibly helpful as we will soon be starting this journey as well.
I love y’all & the love y’all have for one another. My husband is way older than me too. We have a lot of kids. I really hope y’all have kids too. I’m holding on & waiting patiently.
You have a winner right there larry such an amazing man so supportive and kind hearted you both are so amazing this is exactly how a marriage should be loving, caring and supportive I love that so much for you both such beautiful people and such inspirations I’m so excited for this journey your sharing with us I’m glad Larry is doing well! He’s such a trooper ! 💕💕💕💕
You are both going to be great parents, and at least you are extra extra prepared to be extra extra awesome. Gotta go do Finals for ASL now! (I've been procrastinating) To all my fellows out there with tests, YOU GOT THIS GOOD LUCKK!
"It wasn't echoing" lol! Good luck ya'll! Doing the two week wait on my 2nd IUI. My husband and I are in the same situation. He is 15 years older than me and nonreversible vasectomy. The TESA/MESA is so expensive along with IVF which is why we are trying this route as well.
I wish more people knew about CNY, they accept travel patients and have multiple locations. They're SO affordable and have in house financing that does NOT go off your credit. I'd never be able to do IVF otherwise. I love them!
Praying for you guys! Ive had 2 unsuccessful IuI's and can't afford IVF. I'm having a tough time accepting reality. Thank you for all your videos Mindy and Larry.
I completely understand how you feel. We have still not been approved for our loan for IVF. Please research grant options for IVF and apply for as many as you can. Please don’t give up. I know it feels impossible. After our 3rd failed IUI the realization of moving onto IVF with the cost made me ill, I kid you not I physically felt sick. It takes time but there are options for finance assistance. Unfortunately Larry & I are disqualified for grants because he had a vasectomy. You might qualify! Please don’t give up. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I have a question. When Larry was out why not go ahead and do the reversal while doing the extraction? Maybe a miracle would happen and would end up working.
Good morning y'all!! I'm so excited for you too!! "If you have one viable sperm, there's a chance." My doctor told me the exact same words. I have PCOS, which does complicate things, and it was very uncertain whether or not I was ovulating, when I actually had a cycle. I understand the frustration, but I can tell you, when you hold that precious baby in your arms, it will all be worth it. Continued prayers and much Love to you both!!!
So excited for your both !! This is my unsolicited advice as someone who has gone through it. In order to have top quality eggs for your egg retrieval. There is a book that my doctor recommended called "It's starts with the egg" by Rebecca Fett. It is a game changer!!! You will need to revamp a lot of things in your household and foods that you eat especially eliminating coffee. I hope you have a chance to read it and digest it. It's recommended to follow the plan for at least 90 days. Wishing you both all the best. And sending prayers your way as you embark on this incredible journey!!!
Larry is a true gem but you already know that. He is so chill . I am.keeping you both in my prayers 🙏❤💕💛. I hope your parents and grandpa are well. Please pet luna and lexie for me
Awww Mindy and Larry..... I am hoping and wishing for you guys to have the sweet lil baby you both deserve and so badly want. 💗 and I’m glad Larry did well. You have a strong and wonderful husband Mindy.
I did IUI three times, third I got pregnant, but lost that baby at 3 months along. I did IVF once, my insurance covered it 100% (many states cover it completely and up to SIX times!) Check your state! I have a little 18 month old girl now💕
My IVF baby just turned 16. Like you my husband is older and had a vasectomy many years before. We investigated reversal, but we decided just to so the extraction. The doctors were amazed how mobile his sperm was so it is possible. I had 2 IVF cycles and the third was a charm. The best advice is not to let all this consume you. Just live and relax and enjoy each other. Best wishes!
I'm a health teacher and totally nerding out with this info. 😃 When I talk to my students the about the "plumbing", sperm do have quite a journey with organs and glands involved. Hoping for the best for you both! Go Larry's seeds!!!! Blessings! xo
Glad Larry is feeling better & back to his old self! Love hearing your updates and find it interesting to hear the in’s and outs of these procedures.. I am not going through it myself but I admire the strength of those people who are 💜
Awww .. You are both incredible people.. that beautiful baby that you will have one day is one incredibly fortunate miracle .. love and blessings to both of you... Many hugs and much love from Toronto, Canada!❤️❤️❤️
To be very honest, I am praying for both of you everyday and hopefully a beautiful baby will come to your home and you both will become amazing parents. Lots of love and best wishes to you guys and I wish Larry to get well soon and have a great day 💕💕💖💖
I know !I was thinking the same thing! I wanted a family so bad! Now I’m too old! I k ow what it’s like to yearn children. But this couple is so closer than I ever was. I’m really hoping this works for them!
I’ve been in bed sick all this week and watching your video today just made my week, I love watching how you and Larry are so positive and just so inspiring, much love from Sydney Australia xxxx
Larry , thank you for being on the videos as well!! Thank you both for answering so many questions that I would never feel free to ask my coworker who is also going through the IVF procedure!! Thank you, have a great weekend!!!
Everytime I watch your videos, I see the pure raw love you have for each other and it makes me so happy! I love you guys so much and love watching this journey. Prayers prayers PRAYERS!!!!!!!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So many videos this week I love it. I enjoy watching no matter the content because of your personalities and family! So sweet 💕 let’s get through this week and never give up
Hoping for a speedy recovery to you Larry and glad you are feeling better!! You two are the sweetest and such a loving couple, any baby would be so lucky to have you two as parents! Don’t give up!!
I’m so happy that you both are so blessed with great healthcare professionals to help you with your baby journey💕💕 praying for a healthy little one for you in the near future!!!
@@paulah4476 what are you talking about...I don’t want to put him through anything I am asking a hypothetical question about how the procedure works...🙄
@@paulah4476 actually it is....sorry I didn’t say “HYPOTHETICALLY....can they go back in if needed...or was this a one time thing” meaning is this a procedure that can only be done once. I think you are the only one who didn’t understand what I was asking...
Leighannsays just went through the whole ivf process over the past year, and she has really helpful videos explaining everything she experienced at every step of the process
You could go through CNY fertility in NY AND SAVE MONEY. ya you have to travel but it’s $3995 a round with icsi. And you can make payments without credit check. It has helped us so much. Good luck guys.
I love how honest you both are shows you both value your genuine kind hearted viewers enough to not care what the others say or think I admire your honesty and strength I really look up to that in you guys hope you guys never change that. Good luck on your journey I wish you both the outcome we are hoping for love from Arizona
So happy you are feeling ok Larry!!🙏 Sending prayers and good vibes your way that you will get your little very soon!! Thank for always being so real about everything!!💜
Larry is like Puppy looking at her so funny , I just really don’t understand how in the word he have energy for all this , I had my 3 baby at 40 and it’s way different having baby at 21 I think it’s just to selfish poor kid will be having dad not for long just sad he will go through loss in young age

@Tamar Hannah Whipkey The sperm donation came from the University, and now her son has just graduated from the university.
I did the IVF but didn’t work for me but I am thankful that I have a little girl that I am adopting.
Congratulations! I have 2 children one natural and one adopted. Adoption is a fascinating experience.
That's wonderful!
Congratulations!!
Congrats ❤
Your gonna be an awesome mom

When Larry said “this is where it all started” I definitely thought it was a sex joke 🤣
so did I lol
Me too!!!! 😂
I know me too hahahaha

As someone that was blessed with a beautiful baby boy 5 weeks ago, I’m praying for a magical baby journey for you both ❤️
Aw congratulations on your little one 🤗
Congratulations!

Congratulations!!!
Congratulations wishing you happiness n good health with your son.
I can’t recommend Florida fertility institute enough. We have 3 children thanks to them. Andrea is the IVF nurse, she responsive and honest. Dr. Zbella is so caring and realistic with expectations. They also have really good financing options
It is noticeable that Larry has gotten much more comfortable with the camera, he is so supportive :)
I came on the comments to say the same thing! I love listening to him talk..:so supportive, so knowledgeable!!
Good luck with your ivf! My husband and I are due in 4.5 weeks with our miracle ivf baby girl! We got very lucky and conceived first round.
Yay, So happy for you guys! I bet you are so so excited! Hugs to you 🤗
When you think about it, this is so amazing. Usually it’s only the women who have to endure pain, hospital visits and possible procedures. But for this baby both mom and dad had to put in the work, get a procedure done, be on bed rest etc. Larry is such a wonderful man!
Larry is so chill. I wish I were as calm! Praying for you both. Thanks for being so open and sharing.

I wish more people knew about CNY, they accept travel patients and have multiple locations. They're SO affordable and have in house financing that does NOT go off your credit. I'd never be able to do IVF otherwise. I love them!
Praying for you guys! Ive had 2 unsuccessful IuI's and can't afford IVF. I'm having a tough time accepting reality. Thank you for all your videos Mindy and Larry.
Have u tried doing donations? Also I heard if you work at starbucks they have insurance that covers fertility treatment
I completely understand how you feel. We have still not been approved for our loan for IVF. Please research grant options for IVF and apply for as many as you can. Please don’t give up. I know it feels impossible. After our 3rd failed IUI the realization of moving onto IVF with the cost made me ill, I kid you not I physically felt sick. It takes time but there are options for finance assistance. Unfortunately Larry & I are disqualified for grants because he had a vasectomy. You might qualify! Please don’t give up. Sending you lots of love and hugs ❤️
I’m praying for both of you and I believe it in my heart that you guys are going to be amazing parents one day! 🤞❤️
I have a question. When Larry was out why not go ahead and do the reversal while doing the extraction? Maybe a miracle would happen and would end up working.
That’s a good question
Good morning y'all!!
I'm so excited for you too!! "If you have one viable sperm, there's a chance." My doctor told me the exact same words.
I have PCOS, which does complicate things, and it was very uncertain whether or not I was ovulating, when I actually had a cycle. I understand the frustration, but I can tell you, when you hold that precious baby in your arms, it will all
be worth it. Continued prayers and much
Love to you both!!!
So excited for your both !! This is my unsolicited advice as someone who has gone through it. In order to have top quality eggs for your egg retrieval. There is a book that my doctor recommended called "It's starts with the egg" by Rebecca Fett. It is a game changer!!! You will need to revamp a lot of things in your household and foods that you eat especially eliminating coffee. I hope you have a chance to read it and digest it. It's recommended to follow the plan for at least 90 days. Wishing you both all the best. And sending prayers your way as you embark on this incredible journey!!!
Larry is a true gem but you already know that. He is so chill . I am.keeping you both in my prayers 🙏❤💕💛. I hope your parents and grandpa are well. Please pet luna and lexie for me
Awww Mindy and Larry..... I am hoping and wishing for you guys to have the sweet lil baby you both deserve and so badly want. 💗 and I’m glad Larry did well. You have a strong and wonderful husband Mindy.
I did IUI three times, third I got pregnant, but lost that baby at 3 months along. I did IVF once, my insurance covered it 100% (many states cover it completely and up to SIX times!) Check your state! I have a little 18 month old girl now💕
My IVF baby just turned 16. Like you my husband is older and had a vasectomy many years before. We investigated reversal, but we decided just to so the extraction. The doctors were amazed how mobile his sperm was so it is possible. I had 2 IVF cycles and the third was a charm. The best advice is not to let all this consume you. Just live and relax and enjoy each other. Best wishes!
I'm a health teacher and totally nerding out with this info. 😃 When I talk to my students the about the "plumbing", sperm do have quite a journey with organs and glands involved. Hoping for the best for you both! Go Larry's seeds!!!! Blessings! xo
Sending lots of luck and good positive vibes your way! Wishing you all nothing but the absolute best! ❤❤
Oh my gosh you guys are so darn adorable! I love the respect between the two of you. 💙
You are going to be a wonderful mum♥Can't wait to meet your baby🍀
Glad Larry is feeling better & back to his old self! Love hearing your updates and find it interesting to hear the in’s and outs of these procedures.. I am not going through it myself but I admire the strength of those people who are 💜
Awww .. You are both incredible people.. that beautiful baby that you will have one day is one incredibly fortunate miracle .. love and blessings to both of you... Many hugs and much love from Toronto, Canada!❤️❤️❤️
A big hug for you Minx and for you Larry.
To be very honest, I am praying for both of you everyday and hopefully a beautiful baby will come to your home and you both will become amazing parents. Lots of love and best wishes to you guys and I wish Larry to get well soon and have a great day 💕💕💖💖
Praying this is a success. It will give many people hope. Thanks for sharing your journey. My husband is 65, I'm 47. He had a vasectomy 22 years ago.
If you need a loan to do this procedure all the more reason it is a bad idea. I worry about Larry's money for his retirement
It breaks my heart you have to get a loan to try to have a baby. So many take their fertility for granted. 😭
I know !I was thinking the same thing! I wanted a family so bad! Now I’m too old! I k ow what it’s like to yearn children. But this couple is so closer than I ever was. I’m really hoping this works for them!
@@Nikkipat1995 sometimes it’s better to say nothing at all.
I nearly fainted at 14.43 :) Brilliant info guys...Just take it easy Larry or your gonna be back in that bloody surgery:( Take care Guys👍
It will be so exciting to be carrying Larry's baby a part of each of you.. Hope this comes to fruition best wishes from Northern Ireland UK xx 🙏🤞 ❤️💙

I’m so happy that you both are so blessed with great healthcare professionals to help you with your baby journey💕💕 praying for a healthy little one for you in the near future!!!
Can they go back in and take more from Larry if needed? Or was this a one time thing.
It's a painful recovery why would you want to put him through that again
@@paulah4476 what are you talking about...I don’t want to put him through anything I am asking a hypothetical question about how the procedure works...🙄
@@LP-km7gj "can they go back in and take more from Larry" that's not a hypothetical question 🙄
@@paulah4476 actually it is....sorry I didn’t say “HYPOTHETICALLY....can they go back in if needed...or was this a one time thing” meaning is this a procedure that can only be done once. I think you are the only one who didn’t understand what I was asking...
Go troll someone else now...🙋🏼♀️ bye
Leighannsays just went through the whole ivf process over the past year, and she has really helpful videos explaining everything she experienced at every step of the process
You could go through CNY fertility in NY AND SAVE MONEY. ya you have to travel but it’s $3995 a round with icsi. And you can make payments without credit check. It has helped us so much. Good luck guys.
I love how honest you both are shows you both value your genuine kind hearted viewers enough to not care what the others say or think I admire your honesty and strength I really look up to that in you guys hope you guys never change that. Good luck on your journey I wish you both the outcome we are hoping for love from Arizona
I wish you all the best! Any child will be lucky to have you both as parents!
Sending prayers I cannot wait to see you guys with yall's little bundle of joy :) I can already see the Harry Potter nursery and clothes lol
So happy Larry you’re doing ok and Mindy that you and your hubby have a plan! Rooting for you two!!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Best of luck with this exciting new step!!✨🤞👶🏻
You’re are correct, it only takes one! Praying so hard for you both!
So happy you are feeling ok Larry!!🙏 Sending prayers and good vibes your way that you will get your little very soon!! Thank for always being so real about everything!!💜
Larry is like Puppy looking at her so funny , I just really don’t understand how in the word he have energy for all this , I had my 3 baby at 40 and it’s way different having baby at 21 I think it’s just to selfish poor kid will be having dad not for long just sad he will go through loss in young age
I will support you in what route is right for you. I was given to family friends in Ireland and they took me to England. Xx
