If you don't mind me asking but... how did you get into this field??? I'd love to do something like this for work. Right now I just have my high school diploma, do i have to take college classes??
Julian Montalvo I know they talk about it, but doctors should seriously push patients into freezing their stuff. Obviously they can’t force them, but it should be brought up as often as possible.
white salt could you imagine if the DNA of others who had also hit the wall, was in her sample? I don’t know if that is possible, but that was my thought.
You might call them back and let them know you had a misshape and had to scrap your sample off the wall. I would think that would of been bad for the health of your sperm. I would have to question if that didn’t affect your sample.
That's what I thought that maybe the sample was contaminated because I'm sure they use strong cleaners to clean them. Good thing there will be a second one given that will actually be the one frozen.
Gigi, u have to do another sample, this comment is legit.. And one more tip, worrying about being able to have a baby is not gonna get you anywhere.. Just be cool about it, do what you have to do and leave the rest to God
@AsHLiegH-MaRie HoPe I know, but anxiety and stress sometimes effect the fertility in both genders.. I was hoping if she reads she will pay some attention to that, and try to leave it all to God
Hi Gigi, I work at a fertility center and I want to reassure you there ARE still options for you to have a biological baby. IVF with ICSI is an option please ask your REI about it and also about the TESE procedure is another option. Hoping you’ll see this and consider a second opinion.
Chanel Eilish IVF with ICSI is when we take 1 sperm and inject the sperm into an egg in our lab. Usually, a normal semen sample needs to have millions of sperm in order for it to be a good sample. However, with ICSI we don’t need millions - we only need a very small quantity. So if there are let’s say 8 eggs, we only need 8 single sperm. IVF with ICSI is a great option for those couples who have male factor fertility issues. And, believe it or not, if a semen sample comes back with zero sperm, the TESE procedure is a way we can biopsy and aspirate sperm straight from the testicle. In almost all cases, even when there are no sperm in a sample, we can find a few sperm by biopsy. That’s why I was concerned hearing that the lab Gigi went to wouldn’t freeze, even if there wasn’t a strong sample. I have questions, but it doesn’t matter. What matters is Gigi hopefully hears all available options for her.
Your openess and honesty needs to really be applauded. No one else going thru what you are would tell their story. If a child is what you desire, i have no doubt that you'll have one. You are the most determined person out there Gigi. It will happen for you guys..❤
Freezing sperm is MUCH more optimal as many ftm trans people maintain their fertility after transition (there are still alot of people who lose their fertility during ftm transition but not as much as mtf) but I think It's good to be safe so I think they should do it too but at the same time people trans or not are freezing their eggs and sperm especially business minded people who want to wait longer to have than an average parent just so they can be very financial stable.
@@BruceLe3 So is it a solution to our condition that we have no control over and that can put us thousands of dollars in debt depending on how our insurance etc works out that we have to also pay to bank gametes?? This isn't something we just do for fun.
I would want to encourage you to try again because I can't help but feel like the sample that hit the wall was contaminated and could've totally ruined your results. Also, IVF is still an option!
My heart goes out to you! I can’t imagine how difficult this entire process must have been for you. But I think that’s a victory in itself. There are other options for having a child. So proud of you for going through with the process!
as a lesbian with a more recently diagnosed case of severe PCOS, thank you for just normalizing that everyone in our community can have a journey to come to motherhood in a way that is hard medically and emotionally (haha and financially...)
Parenthood *involves* sacrifice, but that’s not what it’s all about. If going through with those treatments doesn’t feel right to you, don’t do it. But if you want a baby of your own, the struggle will be well worth it. Much love
Benedict Cumbersnatched I don’t think it involves sacrifice, it’s just you change as a person and your goals change. If someone wants a kid and thinks it’s sacrifice to themselves then they are too immature.. you gain from it not loose

Straight old chick here. This was beautifully done! Thank you. I know it is a difficult thing for you but you did the younger community a service. People who are beginning this journey will know to try to preserve what they can when they can. You gave them all the information you could. I will share this information fore sure. I hope you find a way to have your little ones.
Gigi! This made me laugh & cry. I’ve only been watching your videos on and off for a little over a year but I just want to thank you for sharing your story. You told it beautifully. Even though the result was not what you hoped for the fact that you jumped over (& through) that obstacle with grace & wit shows true perseverance and a great example of your character. You will be an excellent parent when the time arrives!
My earlier comment on the other video still stands. Even though the circumstances changed you still deserve to be a mom. Don't forget that. I hope your journey together goes better. Personally I think you're right you need to love you first, your health, mentally and physically is so important.
This video is one example of why I admire trans people so much. It takes so much courage and strength to transition and be so true to yourself. I'm not trans and I find it hard to be true to myself sometimes. And then to have to go off your hormones... I can't imagine how hard that decision would be. You are so strong Gigi and I know you'll find a way to make it happen!
You are so incredibly amazing for sharing this with us Gigi. Thank you for being so brave in sharing your story and giving us a glimpse into what being trans is really like day to day. Your an inspiration to so many and have personally taught me so much! I’m glad your being so open and honest with us. Don’t ever feel like you have to be with everything, but just know that you have taught me a lot. I never thought about trans issues around family planning before and I have close friends who are trans and now thanks to you I can maybe lend more support and I can show them your video. Thank you for this girl and keep being inspirational :) 💕
Gigi, I used to watch your videos years and years ago. You were an inspiration for me to see how you were able to find your gender and be proud of who you are. Since then I have watched your videos rarely just to see what you've been up to, and you're so beautiful and I love seeing how much of a role model you are. It is so amazing that you and your fiance are trying to have a family and you should be so proud to be doing as much as you can for your family. No matter what comes out of this situation, if you two end up having a child, they will have two very loving mothers.
I really don't think that scraping your stuff from the wall was a good idea, that think is going to make your kid. The wall must've had a zillion fungus on it.
I’ve been following you since you started your TH-cam. Every since that school lost your phone video...I loved you then and I still love you now. You’re a strong person. Beautiful inside and out🖤
Im so inspired by you gigi we started our transition at the same time i havent been able to fo anything lifes been really rough i get my solic in seeing your transition go so well gives me hope and pride in our sisters who can make it xoxo jess
You should be SO proud of yourself for even trying! So amazing! I wish you got exactly what you wanted but at the end of the day there is other ways you can have a baby! God bless you! You'll be an amazing mommy Gigi!
I am so proud of you gigi, it took amazing courage for you to go through all of that. It is so wonderful that you have a very loving and understanding partner in Natz. There are many ways to have a child. Although you want your own DNA, there are a lot of children out there that need good loving homes. I think you guys would make hella fun parents and would be amazing at. I wish you best of luck in what ever way a baby will come into you life. Love you, girl!!!
Gigi, I am so sorry hun:(. I know how much you wanted this for you and Nats. With that being said... You have a friggin AMAZING attitude about it!! There are other ways to have a baby hun:). Keep up that positive attitude!! We love you and THANK YOU for sharing this private journey with all of us😙💖😙💖😙💖😙💖😙💖😙
Darling, I am so proud of you and your journey. I have been watching you since the beginning and have seen you blossomed. I was adopted when I was 4 days old and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I think that adoption can help you with creating a family... and I promise you that the child that you are given will be YOURS!
First, you are amazing for sharing this and all the other facets of your life for others to share with you and learn from. Second, after listening to your disappointing experience with the sperm bank, I’m so relieved from reading the comments from people letting you know there are still options. It’s true, it’s 2019 and there are so many medical developments out there now for just about everything. Don’t give up. I believe there are still more options for you and Nats to conceive. Continue to explore the options. On another note, I just finished listening to your book on audio books. Your story is incredible. I have to confess, I hadn’t actually known of you until seeing you speak in person at the LA Times Festival of books last weekend. Passing by, I stopped to listen to you speak to the audience and immediately was interested in reading your book. I downloaded it and I have just finished. And I’ve gone on to subscribe to your videos. You’re an incredible person, with a great sense of humor and wonderful view of the world. I am truly happy that you were able to transition with so much love and support. Your parents and brothers sound like the best family ever. Congratulations on your engagement :)
Adriana Pitt she wants a biological child so I’m sure she knows that’s an option but doesn’t want to because it would not be her blood. I’m a mother, and there’s just something about knowing that your child is literally an extension of yourself. When I look at my son I see a miniature me. It’s really wholesome. I really hope it works out for her, all this stress and switching up with the hormones cannot be good 😩
@@witchgost4797 believe me..... I know the feeling.... I would love to have a biological child of my own but Im not goin off my hormone therapy plus for me... I dont think I would love an adopted child any less plus theres tons of children who NEED parents and love
@Adriana Pitt you are the perfect candidate to be the parent of an adopted child because you feel you wouldn’t love that child any less. Good for you. It’s a good thing Ekho didn’t adopt. Adoption may not be for everyone but it is an incredibly selfless open minded, loving, decision to make with humanity in mind. In my case I have some heritable diseases in my family that I don’t wish to pass on, so I to plan to adopt and will love the child just as much as a child I would have biologically. ❤️❤️❤️ good luck!
I love that you’re so open about this, it’s so informative, and truly lets people know questions they are curious about. I’m lucky and one of my best friends is FTM, and I’m pansexual, so there’s always a chance of me finding out my soulmate wasn’t actually hit by a bus full of nuns, and is trans, so I love these videos; and my good friend who is very open with allowing me to ask questions if i want to know something. It’s also helped me a lot in my career as a paramedic, especially with sensitivity, but it’s also made me want to educate more people on trans health in emergency medicine. I’m still trying to learn more, like right now, it’s extremely important for me to know what someone was assigned at birth, because if we MOMENTARILY take it down to two genders, the ones assigned at birth, males & females have different symptoms for life threatening emergencies, like a heart attack. Females (assigned at birth) unlike Men (AAB) are more likely to experience pain in the epigastrium area, instead of chest pain-can that change with hormone replacement, especially after long term replacement?Honestly, I do not know, and it’s something that there are not enough studies on to say either way. I absolutely hate asking the question of gender assigned at birth, but honestly, right now at least, it’s important to know. Watching your videos, and just hearing your experiences, has taught me so much, and has made me continue to want to learn and know more. Thank you! 🙏🏼
im so proud of you for doing this. I cant imagine how uncomfortable and dysphoric that is. But if I was in your situation i would have called the sperm bank so many times to relay the information of your gender and situation so they werent so thrown off guard and so they couldve made you feel more comfortable.
Omg my friends had to do that and it cost like 50,000 dollars after getting the sperm donation freezing, the artificial insemination it was such a process and took 4 years to do. Now they have a beaut baby girl.
Come to TRNC for only 3000-5000euros ivf treatments together with flights and hotels it would be much much cheaper. People dont think of alternative places to have overseas treatments and pay such huge amounts for basically the same or sometimes worst treatments due to restrictions of laws regarding the number of embryos to be transfered at each cycle and so many other donation options...
Proud of you Gigi! No matter how long it takes or if you decide to go with another option for your future baby, you have done such an amazing job thus far in your transition and pre motherhood. I hope all your wishes come true for you!
How close to your DNA is your brothers? Can you test for that? I am sorry Gigi! You sharing your journey is doing so much in terms of normalizing the topic. Thank god for Gigi😘
My heart breaks for you. You are so strong and i loved hearing this. Im 24 and trying with my fiance. I unfortunately dont think i can have children, i was raped when i was 13 and got chlamydia and didnt know for years. It causes infertility if left untreated and ive had so much unprotected sex to have dozens of children. Im hoping theres still a chance now that im with the right person but i feel this story on a real level. Love you and thanks again for sharing
You did awesome Gigi, anyone who says you didn't make sacrifices is misunderstanding how hard this would be for you and others, you should be really proud of how strong you have been and your courage is admired by so many. Don't be hard on yourself, having a baby someday somehow will love you endlessly, they will know how badly you wanted them. Keep doing more of these videos because its the educational stories of your experiences that need to be talked about, love your platform. Happy newyear
1) I almost cried because this is sad and brave at the same time; 2) I wish people weren't telling Gigi how to act and what options she has (I'm sure she knows about adoption, guys); 3) I'm really glad to see a bunch of comments from people who work in the fertility industry, and honestly, I also feel like there's still hope, even with a log sperm count; 4) we love you, Gigi!
Natalie was right, this thumbnail is art in itself. Gigi weaves a vivid story
This video is a masterpiece.
Yes, Gigi has very stylish handwriting
I miss Natalie. I wish she would do regular uploads again.
@@Livi_Noelle omg i just came here missing her lol
Yeah. Though, honestly, I think contrapoints herself is at least on par with Gigi.
At least.
If you have any sperm at all you can do IVF! I work at a fertility clinic. We do ivf on people who have less than 100 sperm all the time.
SrtaMelzinha it’s better to freeze an embryo than an egg though. They could do that and save them forever or until they are ready

I think doctors should really push people to get their stuff frozen before starting hormones.
I agree
They do and being who Gigi is she probably brushed it aside and went full force into her transition.
She actually talked about it in a previous video and correct,she did brush it off and didn’t think much of it.
Julian Montalvo I know they talk about it, but doctors should seriously push patients into freezing their stuff. Obviously they can’t force them, but it should be brought up as often as possible.
If they're gonna change their gender, that is definitely a good idea.

What is 'it' lol

Think?😑
It's still possible but a lot of sperm probably died once it became airborne. I think GG should keep trying and not give up
I mean if it dies once “airborne” then how the hell do they expect them to do it in a cup?
I cringed so hard when she said it hit the wall. ...I about puked when she said she scraped it off the wall. Oh no no no no no

Even though the result was not what you hoped for the fact that you jumped over (& through) that obstacle with grace & wit shows true perseverance and a great example of your character. You will be an excellent parent when the time arrives!
I thought this was just gonna be a funny video, didn't expect to cry so hard. Thank you for your honesty queen.
My earlier comment on the other video still stands. Even though the circumstances changed you still deserve to be a mom. Don't forget that. I hope your journey together goes better. Personally I think you're right you need to love you first, your health, mentally and physically is so important.
I think you should try again. Never give up on your dream. I think you would make a great mother @gigi gorgeous
Your storytimes are always the best 😂😘
Thank you for being so open and sharing your life with us! It's great to see how positive you are!
This video is one example of why I admire trans people so much. It takes so much courage and strength to transition and be so true to yourself. I'm not trans and I find it hard to be true to myself sometimes. And then to have to go off your hormones... I can't imagine how hard that decision would be. You are so strong Gigi and I know you'll find a way to make it happen!

You are the best for sharing such a personal video. I love your story telling ❤️
“Movies for today?” I’m dying😂😂😂😂
You are so incredibly amazing for sharing this with us Gigi. Thank you for being so brave in sharing your story and giving us a glimpse into what being trans is really like day to day. Your an inspiration to so many and have personally taught me so much! I’m glad your being so open and honest with us. Don’t ever feel like you have to be with everything, but just know that you have taught me a lot. I never thought about trans issues around family planning before and I have close friends who are trans and now thanks to you I can maybe lend more support and I can show them your video. Thank you for this girl and keep being inspirational :) 💕
For those confused just say " I'm trans" then they may get it.
Imagine her future kid finds this video
So
Minna Linnea so what if they do?? It’s a part of their journey to having a baby.
They would know how loved and wanted they are.
The sample from the wall messed with the results so I feel even worse for you. I’m proud of you for trying at all and for sharing the story! ❤️
Gigi, I used to watch your videos years and years ago. You were an inspiration for me to see how you were able to find your gender and be proud of who you are. Since then I have watched your videos rarely just to see what you've been up to, and you're so beautiful and I love seeing how much of a role model you are. It is so amazing that you and your fiance are trying to have a family and you should be so proud to be doing as much as you can for your family. No matter what comes out of this situation, if you two end up having a child, they will have two very loving mothers.
Im laughing so hard, the description of this appointment is so ridiculous😂 best of luck with the pregnancy
I really don't think that scraping your stuff from the wall was a good idea, that think is going to make your kid. The wall must've had a zillion fungus on it.
Lokesh Garg it was only being tested for sperm count. it was never going to be used for fertilization.
Yeah, she should have tried to get at it again
Do you understand how female autonomy works???
i can’t help but think of the blue eyes miley cyrus meme while watching this video
That squirt was so hard it hit the wall 😂😂😂😂
I’ve been following you since you started your TH-cam. Every since that school lost your phone video...I loved you then and I still love you now. You’re a strong person. Beautiful inside and out🖤
Hannah Le what? School lost your phone?
Im so inspired by you gigi we started our transition at the same time i havent been able to fo anything lifes been really rough i get my solic in seeing your transition go so well gives me hope and pride in our sisters who can make it xoxo jess
LMAO WHEN GIGI SAID THR DOCTOR TOLD HER "MOVIES FOR TODAY?" ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT WAS A STEWARDESS ON A PLANE
I support you all the way boo❤️
You should be SO proud of yourself for even trying! So amazing! I wish you got exactly what you wanted but at the end of the day there is other ways you can have a baby! God bless you! You'll be an amazing mommy Gigi!
“Movies for today?” 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dead
“this is about to be a moment, we’re entering like parenthood” 😭😭😭
I am so proud of you gigi, it took amazing courage for you to go through all of that. It is so wonderful that you have a very loving and understanding partner in Natz. There are many ways to have a child. Although you want your own DNA, there are a lot of children out there that need good loving homes. I think you guys would make hella fun parents and would be amazing at. I wish you best of luck in what ever way a baby will come into you life. Love you, girl!!!
Gigi,
I am so sorry hun:(. I know how much you wanted this for you and Nats. With that being said... You have a friggin AMAZING attitude about it!!
There are other ways to have a baby hun:). Keep up that positive attitude!! We love you and THANK YOU for sharing this private journey with all of us😙💖😙💖😙💖😙💖😙💖😙
This is the funniest most informative, most heartfelt video ever!!! Thank you!
Darling, I am so proud of you and your journey. I have been watching you since the beginning and have seen you blossomed. I was adopted when I was 4 days old and it was the best thing that has ever happened to me, I think that adoption can help you with creating a family... and I promise you that the child that you are given will be YOURS!
First, you are amazing for sharing this and all the other facets of your life for others to share with you and learn from. Second, after listening to your disappointing experience with the sperm bank, I’m so relieved from reading the comments from people letting you know there are still options. It’s true, it’s 2019 and there are so many medical developments out there now for just about everything. Don’t give up. I believe there are still more options for you and Nats to conceive. Continue to explore the options. On another note, I just finished listening to your book on audio books. Your story is incredible. I have to confess, I hadn’t actually known of you until seeing you speak in person at the LA Times Festival of books last weekend. Passing by, I stopped to listen to you speak to the audience and immediately was interested in reading your book. I downloaded it and I have just finished. And I’ve gone on to subscribe to your videos. You’re an incredible person, with a great sense of humor and wonderful view of the world. I am truly happy that you were able to transition with so much love and support. Your parents and brothers sound like the best family ever. Congratulations on your engagement :)
What if the fact that the sperm touched the wall and you scraped it, had something to do with the low number, maybe the sperms died?
*jaw reconstruction surgery has entered the chat*
IM DEAD
I was trying to figure out why she looked so different and i couldn't figure it out
Im 💀
HAHAHAHA
You are so brave and stronger than most of us, I applaud u 💗💗💗
you are beyond strong for going through that ! If you ever needed a surrogate, I would do it! Bring life into this world is truly a blessing !
Adoption is always an option, you wouldn’t only be getting an adorable little baby to love forever but also giving it such a good life
5:22 I died😂😂😂
6:01 I died again😂😂😂
8:41 I died again, again😂😂😂
Just adopt girl.... Thats my plan as a trans woman 😀 dont put yourself through all that
Adriana Pitt she wants a biological child so I’m sure she knows that’s an option but doesn’t want to because it would not be her blood. I’m a mother, and there’s just something about knowing that your child is literally an extension of yourself.
When I look at my son I see a miniature me. It’s really wholesome. I really hope it works out for her, all this stress and switching up with the hormones cannot be good 😩
@@witchgost4797 believe me..... I know the feeling.... I would love to have a biological child of my own but Im not goin off my hormone therapy plus for me... I dont think I would love an adopted child any less plus theres tons of children who NEED parents and love
@Adriana Pitt you are the perfect candidate to be the parent of an adopted child because you feel you wouldn’t love that child any less. Good for you. It’s a good thing Ekho didn’t adopt. Adoption may not be for everyone but it is an incredibly selfless open minded, loving, decision to make with humanity in mind.
In my case I have some heritable diseases in my family that I don’t wish to pass on, so I to plan to adopt and will love the child just as much as a child I would have biologically.
❤️❤️❤️ good luck!
But Gigi doesn’t want that for her just because you want to adopt that doesn’t means she wants that for her.
They could have a baby natural, but instead they are going to jump through fire and spend $$$. So complicated.
Really appreciate how open and honest you are! This will happen just gotta stay positive so much love gigi❤️
I love that you’re so open about this, it’s so informative, and truly lets people know questions they are curious about. I’m lucky and one of my best friends is FTM, and I’m pansexual, so there’s always a chance of me finding out my soulmate wasn’t actually hit by a bus full of nuns, and is trans, so I love these videos; and my good friend who is very open with allowing me to ask questions if i want to know something. It’s also helped me a lot in my career as a paramedic, especially with sensitivity, but it’s also made me want to educate more people on trans health in emergency medicine. I’m still trying to learn more, like right now, it’s extremely important for me to know what someone was assigned at birth, because if we MOMENTARILY take it down to two genders, the ones assigned at birth, males & females have different symptoms for life threatening emergencies, like a heart attack. Females (assigned at birth) unlike Men (AAB) are more likely to experience pain in the epigastrium area, instead of chest pain-can that change with hormone replacement, especially after long term replacement?Honestly, I do not know, and it’s something that there are not enough studies on to say either way. I absolutely hate asking the question of gender assigned at birth, but honestly, right now at least, it’s important to know. Watching your videos, and just hearing your experiences, has taught me so much, and has made me continue to want to learn and know more. Thank you! 🙏🏼
im so proud of you for doing this. I cant imagine how uncomfortable and dysphoric that is. But if I was in your situation i would have called the sperm bank so many times to relay the information of your gender and situation so they werent so thrown off guard and so they couldve made you feel more comfortable.
Omg my friends had to do that and it cost like 50,000 dollars after getting the sperm donation freezing, the artificial insemination it was such a process and took 4 years to do. Now they have a beaut baby girl.
Celeste Winkley Gigi and her girlfriend have the money but yeah, it’s beautiful what science can do!!
Come to TRNC for only 3000-5000euros ivf treatments together with flights and hotels it would be much much cheaper. People dont think of alternative places to have overseas treatments and pay such huge amounts for basically the same or sometimes worst treatments due to restrictions of laws regarding the number of embryos to be transfered at each cycle and so many other donation options...
The world is better because you shared your story 💗💗💗💗
i’m adopted, you know it’s always an option! i would have been lucky to have a mom like you ♥️
Proud of you Gigi! No matter how long it takes or if you decide to go with another option for your future baby, you have done such an amazing job thus far in your transition and pre motherhood. I hope all your wishes come true for you!
How close to your DNA is your brothers? Can you test for that? I am sorry Gigi! You sharing your journey is doing so much in terms of normalizing the topic. Thank god for Gigi😘
That is a great idea (pending how they would both feel in that situation) :)
My heart breaks for you. You are so strong and i loved hearing this. Im 24 and trying with my fiance. I unfortunately dont think i can have children, i was raped when i was 13 and got chlamydia and didnt know for years. It causes infertility if left untreated and ive had so much unprotected sex to have dozens of children. Im hoping theres still a chance now that im with the right person but i feel this story on a real level. Love you and thanks again for sharing
Stella Gibson everyone has they’re struggles, don’t compare two stories
I've noticed your audio sounds weird lately, like autotuned or computery
I think it might just be a lower quality microphone
I noticed the audio quality as I read this comment. At 2:45 you can really hear the grainy/ unnatural sound.
omg i thought it was my earphones! yeah it’s definitely wiggly or something
"Scraping it off the wall" LOL! That is probably one of the funniest stories I've ever heard! Love you Gigi.
You did awesome Gigi, anyone who says you didn't make sacrifices is misunderstanding how hard this would be for you and others, you should be really proud of how strong you have been and your courage is admired by so many. Don't be hard on yourself, having a baby someday somehow will love you endlessly, they will know how badly you wanted them. Keep doing more of these videos because its the educational stories of your experiences that need to be talked about, love your platform. Happy newyear
1) I almost cried because this is sad and brave at the same time; 2) I wish people weren't telling Gigi how to act and what options she has (I'm sure she knows about adoption, guys); 3) I'm really glad to see a bunch of comments from people who work in the fertility industry, and honestly, I also feel like there's still hope, even with a log sperm count; 4) we love you, Gigi!
❤ I'm sorry that this is the result..BUT you will have a baby!
