I agree with those who suggested looking for a new doctor/clinic. I’m currently pregnant with my first IVF baby, and I used the best IVF doctors in my state. It was concerning to me when you listed the size of your eggs and they still wanted you to wait for the smaller ones to catch up, because I remember the sizes were already way too large and it was clear you were going to lose those larger eggs. They shouldn’t have let them get that large. I believe it’s best practice to suggest to trigger you as soon as 2 eggs get to a size 17-18. That’s what they did with me, and ended up getting many eggs and I am much older than you. One way to find the best doctors in your state is to use the SART report, where clinics report their success rates for IVF. You can also look at the list of Top doctors as voted by their peers on Castle Connolly list. IVF doctors are sadly not all the same and simply switching doctors can make ALL the difference. It’s important to find clinics with the best success rates, because you want to be sure that the whole practice is good at what they do, that includes the embryologists they use! The doctor could be great, but if their embryologist is outsourced or not that great, then they won’t be able to fertilize as many eggs or help them get to blastocyst. Usually clinics with the best success rates will brag about it on their websites.

My fiancé has lung cancer so we are going through that together. This came out of nowhere and changed our lives. I am always rooting, hoping and praying for you and your journey. If you can, please say a quick prayer for him.

I have stage 3 cervical cancer and was recently in this past few days and currently still in the hospital being treated for a pulmonary embolism on my right lung totally freaked out but the staff here are truly amazing caring souls and don’t get enough credit for their profession I just can’t seem to catch a break but keeping hopeful and and praying for everyone who is going through life’s struggles and health issues much love to you all 🙏❤️ Kirsty in Australia xx

I respect that u protect Liam's privacy..so I love hearing him talk..he is growing up!!

I always like to buy bedding one size larger so it hangs down further on the sides 😊 So a king may work on your queen size bed if its high enough off the ground.

I can’t believe doctors haven’t looked into why the numbers are always so low. Or maybe do ICSI. Idk just seems wild to me they would let you just mosey on with more and more retrievals.

My husband is scheduled for a vasectomy reversal next month so I’m praying for good results with that ♥️ we also just bought a camper to spend the summer traveling around ❤👏🏼

I was only able to have one daughter. She is handicap ,the joy of my life.

Yay a longer vlog! Hiiyyyeeee Mindy! I’m sending you good thoughts for your IVF journey❤

Loved this long vlog! 🎉

If you decided to try again if it doesn’t work this time I recommend reading “ it starts with the egg” as well as try to do stuff that would improve your eggs quality.

It is going to be fine Mindy! Praying 🙏 and hoping for the best!

I'm beyond excited to announce that i excepted an job offer at an local hospital as a phlebotomist, I hope that your little embryos make it sending prayers your way 🤗

Praying for you and hoping everything goes well! I am so proud of you and you are so strong! 💕

Sending you and your sweet family all the love and well wishes!

I pray and hope all works for you! Your such a beautiful person inside and out and only deserve blessings

Praying for you guys ❤🙏🙏🫰

I love watching your vlogs!!!! It makes me feel like I am talking to a friend💗

Bring a sample of the water and algae to a place that handles pool supplies. They can test your water and find out what it is and give you the right chemicals to get rid of it.

Great vlog 🩷 come on lil embryos! You got this 🥰

Sending you and Larry lots of love! I just got back from a cruise this past Saturday. So, just getting back to reality and life in order. My poor cat Jake now has separation anxiety and not wanting to eat. So that’s stressful. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Keeping you guys in my thoughts. ❤ I’m getting my first set of family/maternity pictures done today as long as the weather stays nice. I’m pretty excited. Sometimes I get in my head about not looking exactly how i want and that’s why it’s been 2 years and I still haven’t had family photos.

I’m glad you asked 😢 sadly my brother became sepsis and had to have multiple amputations to save his life 😢 he’s been so brave throughout this horrible journey

Praying for you hun ❤

Ahhh, have a fun evening. Loved the long vlog. Fingers crossed for the 2 beans 🫘 ❤❤❤

I love a nose tip highlight!!! And life is good for me! ❤I cannot complain right now really! ❤

Oh Mindy! I hope everything goes good for you! I’m sure this is such a nerve wracking time. I’m gearing up to go on vacay and then preparing to move across seas to Japan with my infant and 2 dogs 😬. Keeping you,Larry, and Liam in my thoughts and prayers 🙏

I'm going to Branson Missouri next week. I'm so excited because we haven't gone on a vacation in awhile. I babysit 3 times a week and just need a break. I'm hoping to hear good news from you. I'm praying for you and Larry. 🙏🙏 see you in the next vlog. Love you guys, Shawn ❤

Hope everything goes well for you 🙏🏽💕 currently tomorrow I have to do an echocardiogram sooooo nervous but trying to be positive about it. I love nose tip highlight too! Swear I feel like I have so much in common with you❤

I graduate from my occupational therapy assistant program tonight and have a graduation trip planned to Orlando in June!!!

Mindy for the blush swirl your brush around in the blush pan to mix the darker and lighter pink instead of tapping the brush in the pan it should help❤

Girl. Get a new doctor. Somethings not right at that place.

Hi Mindy! My parents just moved from California to Pennsylvania to be near me! It's such a blessing to all be together again 💛 also my youngest son is turning one this month 🥹 he is our last baby so it's hitting me hard that babyhood is almost behind us. Always thinking about your growing family. I pray that whatever is meant to be will be! That peace and grace embrace you in your wait 💛💛

Thoughts, prayers and babydust for you ❤ I am currently on my first ever IVF cycle. I have my FET booked in for next monday!

Hiieee Mindy! We ❤ you guys! Prayers to those eggies! Having a MRI and endoscopy for my gallbladder region. Summer: TN/KY. AND booked Not so scary tickets for August!

Hoping for the best and praying for peace for y’all, whatever the outcome is. We are about 6 months into trying the natural way and it has been tough so I can’t imagine what you’re feeling. My period started today so thank you for bringing a little bit of light to my day ❤. On a more positive note, my husband and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary in a couple of weeks and are traveling to Tampa for the weekend (we’re in Jacksonville 😊)! Would love to hear some food recommendations if you have any 😋

I also love the long videos

Currently waiting to plan my transfer, my appointment is tomorrow.. try to stay positive.. i had 3 blast.. 2 normal, both boys.. had my heart set on a girl, but will take any healthy baby.. praying it sticks.. i’m turning 37 this month and have no babies yet, fingers crossed

I love your videos I always use the no7 brand I really like it x

Praying for this cycle I feel like it's the one, you and Larry are in my thoughts and prayers. I love your beautiful family.❤

Liam has such a unique way of interacting with the world. It’s very sweet. He seems very loving.

Liam is so cute and I'm loving his curly hair!!!

My daughters and I had planned on moving back to where we originally lived this summer. Plans changed and we are staying put to take care of some things. We will be in our current place for another school year. Praying for you and Larry. Liam is getting so big.

Hi Mindy. Wowcombo mascara is great.

I love the voluminous million lashes mascara by loreal. It works so well without getting all clumpy.

I'm also going through IVF and sending loving thoughts for your little embryos. On a fun note, I love Thrive liquid lash extensions mascara!!

♥️♥️♥️ it’s going to be all good. Sending hugs.😘♥️

you allways look beautiful no matter what makeup you use. The pollen has been really bad here in Virginia also. Prayers for you and Larry and Liam and your IVF journey.❤❤ 🙏

I still think it would've been a lot cheaper to reverse his vasectomy .because you did get sperm from him that his body produced. The problem with the whole nation of pay per service medical is that they are known to tell you that you need this when you might not need that because it would be way more money in their pockets than a reversal. This causes you to come for many doctors visits and a lot more money in their pockets With all the subsequent procedures.

I like the bad gal bang mascara by Benefit. Enjoy your channel very much! Have a great week!

Lots of prayers coming your way 🙏It will be so nice for you to have a visit and time with Hilary 🌞 We absolutely adore Luanna and hope some day she is officially part of your family ❤ My favorite mascara is the Bare Minerals Strength & Length Serum Infused mascara. I love how my lashes look, it's vegan cruelty free-clean ingredients. AND easy to remove - you dont have to pull on your lashes to remove it. Let me know if you give it a try!

Praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🥰

I am a high school dance teacher approaching the end of the school year, which is always bittersweet. I am excited for the summer as I have several dance performances coming up. I love having summers to be able to take a break from teaching, and dance for myself. I am also looking forward to having more time to read. This is one of the most busy times of year for me. I am really tired, but also really happy that my plate is so full of amazing dance-related things. I teach dance at a high school, I teach adult ballet at a studio, I dance on a professional company, and am participating in 3 other independent dance shows. My heart is so full...but I also need a nap.

Loved the long vlog, I only wished the shop with me was longer, But I want to sent to you all the positive energy and goodluck on this journey, ☘️

Sweet Mindy--I am sending those two sweet fertilized eggs so many positive vibes and sending positive energy your way! For the book, look at you plowing through them! The past year and a half or so I have not been reading as much as I have liked and you are inspiring me to pick it up again. I LOVED the ACOTAR series--I've read all but the last one to savor it. A Court of Wings and Ruin is probably my favorite, but I am excited to hear how you like the second one, it is definitely much different than the first! The mascara I randomly found at the airport was MAC's In Extreme Dimension--it was about $28 so it wasn't cheap for mascara, but I've been enjoying it and that's basically the only makeup I wear when i remember to put it on, but it looks so smooth and nice! I am going to sit out on my porch tonight and read! I just got back from Hilton Head for my best friend's mini bachelorette so I am ready to have a weekend at home. I feel like April was crazy with travel and I am SUCH a homebody! Sorry for the novel--I am only halfway through the video too LOL

Praying for you guys.

I cant imagine what your going threw but I could agree maybe finding a second opinion. I have 3 babies naturally, our 3rd I have to take clomid but that was because of being 36 at the time and my doctor said we needed to get pregnant quicker due to age and medical condition I have, which it worked with some downfalls.. yea I am sorry what your going threw and it's rough with so many emotions.. we prat for you guys ❤

Praying for your future baby! I truly hope everything goes well for you and your family.

Have you tried the tinted moisturizer from Aveda? It’s glorious!

Hey mindy, the glass you poured your smoothie in. Where did you get it ?

My husband and I have been trying for a year following a miscarriage at 9 weeks, I just started my first round of femara yesterday. Baby dust and prayers for everyone trying. ✨✨✨

you will love NARS Climax or IT Cosmetics Superhero mascaras!

Ulta and Homegoods love them both! I’m a big fan of a warmer pool 🌊

Mindy I will say always get a second opinion, I went through a situation where I thought because the first time went well with this service next will be great as well; wrong I went for a second opinion and found out I wasted 3 years with that other service. It never hurts to get a second opinion!

I am going through POTS syndrome which there is no cure for unfortunately. I am taking it day by day but watching your videos makes me imagine that im living a "normal" life. Thank you for the videos and please keep them coming to distract my mind.

Definitely check out Beddies!! Sooo good

I ate lots of chicken when I was pregnant and my daughter absolutely loves chicken!! Also you and me were pregnant at the same time! We gave birth almost exactly a month apart! Love your videos and I’m praying for both you and Larry for a second happy and healthy baby!❤️

Praying for you and Larry during this waiting period, I can't imagine having to wait and not know results right away. Although my husband and I haven't gone through IVF, I feel like I'm right there with you with these vlogs and updates. We're currently expecting with our first baby (a girl, due in August). Pregnancy so far has been pretty easy - no nausea, food aversions, etc. But, I am currently dealing with going to a nephrologist (kidney specialist) due to there being some protein in my urine and I'm taking blood pressure meds to prevent preeclampsia. So many doctor's appointments; it feels discouraging, but I'm grateful that baby girl is doing well and healthy and everything else is going smoothly. I've got to try the telescopic mascara! I currently use the Essence brand, but it does clump which makes me think I need to try a new formula. It's getting warmer here in Upstate New York, although we've had some rainy days lately. Sending ya'll positive vibes and baby dust! ❤✨

Currently planning my babies first birthday.. no idea how we got here so fast?! He’s my one and only baby 💙 hoping for good results for you 🤞🏼

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you 🙏We did another retrieval in November, and have not had any success with a transfer yet. We are doing another transfer this month, but it is going to be a more modified/natural. So I am only using PVC's, and Clomid. I get to skip PIO this time :-) My transfer isn't for a few weeks still!

I’m going to Disney in 10 days!! I’m so excited!!!

Can’t wait for pool and camping, we also starting to get warm and hot weather here in Pennsylvania.

I have to ask....does your fertility place do ICSI? which is when they actually inject the sperm into the eggs in order for them for fertilize. There is a cost of course but I had that for my IVF and it helped tremendously.

Hubs and I had our NICU baby last week...born at 35 weeks with induction from me having seizures from Lupus. We have a 2.5 year old and 2 10 year olds, so carpet is for sure our friend and we love it 😂. We had tile in our old house except for bedrooms, the falls are a real thing. And it feels more welcoming to me; doesn't feel as cold when we all walk in the front door ❤. I am absolutely praying that your embryos make it all the way, even if it's just one. I will remain hopeful for the 3 of you. Love yall so much and hang in there sweet girl ❤

The Way I Am Now was good but now I need a part 3. 😂

Hey!! I have the blush..its wonderful! Just wait for the strawberries to fade away!! It will be matte then.

I’m getting married in September and going to Hawaii for our honeymoon. Love you so much and am praying for you through this whole journey

Hoping all the best for your little embryo !!! Our little guy is turning one tomorrow can’t believe we will officially have a toddler not a baby anymore. That happened way too fast plus on Monday we will fly to London for a week for our first family vacation of 3.

Good morning Mindy and Larry and Liam happy Wednesday

@Mindy - as someone who went through infertility, I’d be curious to know what your AMH levels are? I’d look into that re: diminished ovarian reserve due to the # eggs being retrieved unless your doctor already discussed that with you. Just something to look at as you move forward. That could explain the number of eggs and why many didn’t fertilize. Other than that, I have no words other than your emotions and feelings are valid. ❤ Sending you so much love ❤️ you got this mama.

I hope you can turn your current kitchen into your dream kitchen someday! ❤ And I hope we’re there to watch, lol

Sending a virtual hug! ❤❤❤

Sending love from Australia. I’ve been out of hospital (for 5 weeks) since Friday and my family of 4 have had the big C all bar me.. I can’t get it in my current condition. So far so good but yep day by day it is someone new and the last child was with me the most and she has it!! So not good. Ik watching your video to chill out on my Wednesday evening!!

OMG, I really love this long video! I feel like I'm watching an episode of a show haha.

Hello Mindy and have a great day! ❤️🇺🇸

@mindyminxx what other book are you reading for May and do a Marshall’s haul

I pray you have a successful pregnancy 🙏🏻

Good morning you guys and you guys stay safe

I am praying for you for good news.

Hello keep your spirits high and positive . Try not to entertain negative thoughts. I am enjoying all your makeup product recommendations. Im in north central wisconsin and we are enjoying all of our migratory spring birds that showed up. I Wanted to give the monthly book a read so I rented it from the library. Before I start it I am going to finish the book called Going Zero by Anthony McCarten It is quite an interesting book. Quite eye opening About all the technology capabilities. I am almost finished with it and I give it a 10 out of 10. Since following your book club Reading some here and there. I have expanded my book genre. Thanks for that. This will be my fifth book read this year and I can't remember the last time I read that many in one year. Books are great!

The king, just hangs more over the sides of the bed, which is great when you have a mattress topper or something that makes the bed taller than normal

Zelda has gotten so big, so cute ❤ Dinner looks delish, looking for new recipes, especially for a big family It’s so cute how Cosmo luvs numbers , my son is 17months and can count to 3 but that’s about it I agree with what everyone is saying in the comments, he is exceptional..

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️to you and Larry for good news.

Just ordered my medication for my second IVF cycle. Probably starting towards the end of the month. I did my first egg retrieval towards the end of March 2021. My beautiful daughter was born December 2021. I had two remaining embryos. I had a missed miscarriage at about seven weeks last August. Failed transfer with my last embryo this past January. Such a mixed bag of emotions going through this whole process again, however, feeling very grateful that I’m able to do it again.

If this time is not successful try to look for another IVF place.

Sending good karma for your IVF journey! Love all your beauty information! Next month my sister and I are flying to San Diego to visit my nephew and his family!

Prayers for you from Arizona What is up with the knats this year !

I am praying for you both that your ivf works and you get pregnant. ♥️♥️♥️♥️🙏🙏🙏

What color is the NYX Jumbo highlighter stick you used?

My favorite mascara is Lash Paradise in waterproof
