I have a wonderful 14 month old from this donor, soon to be working on a younger sibling, so we are very happy they are still available Wondering if we will stumble upon any half siblings here

We are expecting with this donor again, a boy this time, I am 29w5 today
I'm using Donor 2789 for my first ever IUI this month. I'm so excited and I'm even more excited to have found you all and seen your pictures of your beautiful children! It just makes me even more excited!
Here is a more recent picture of my daughter, taken two weeks ago. She is now 28 months old (2 years and 4 months). Sorry for the position of the picture, I can't find a way to rotate it...
Thank you! My first symptom was 3 days after my IUI. I had the most awful blood/metallic taste in my mouth that wouldn't go away no matter what I ate or drank.
Between 5dpiui and 8dpiui, I was having some dull cramping in my lower abdomen, and I noticed it even more when I was sitting in my car for some reason. Right below my belly button. I'd never experienced cramping before ovulation and my period, unless it was like the day of or the day after I got my period.
No implantation spotting, but I'm sure that was the implantation I was feeling. It was very strange!
I'm feeling okay now, just dull cramping on and off, but from what I've read, it's the uterus stretching. I was having some hot flashes today, and my breasts are getting sore.
I'm 38+3 with our baby boy today. Lost my mucus plug today so I hope that means that labour is on its way! Having lots of BH contractions which are super annoying and baby boy is sitting SO low.
Will keep you updated!
Thank you! Those both sound like very manageable births. I hope I am as lucky! I'm 39 weeks today and nothing yet. I go to my midwife in 2 days to see if I am dilated at all. I'm getting very anxious and uncomfortable, and I want to meet my baby so badly!
@deemiggity, My daughter saw the pictures of your girl and thought it was her! They definitely have similar features, even though she looks a lot like me too. And wow, how your son looks like the donor!
My delivery was 12 hours, I had oxytocin and then an epidural, and I had to push for 4 hours before they found out things were not good. They had to use vacuum assistance, but it worked fine! My daughter is now 3 years old and is a bright and lively little girl. These days, she is fascinated with planets...
Oh she is SO sweet! Thank you for sharing your story!
My sweet baby boy was born on July 13. It was a VERY quick labour. From start until delivery, it was less than 10 hours. It was a tough delivery as baby decided he was going to come out with his head and elbow at the same time. He also had a large head! Lol! It was extremely painful and I suffered a third degree tear and received a lot of stitches (internally and externally). But we are SO in love with him and so grateful to Donor 2789 for giving us the greatest gift.
Thank you so much! He is 2 weeks old today and I’m still recovering but I know it will take a while to fully heal. We got his newborn photos done and can’t wait to see how they turned out!
He looks so much like my babies!
