    Hi! We used donor 4725. We are due Oct 1st. We are having a boy :) When are you due?
  • TulipanMBTulipanMB Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi! We just used this donor but our doctor noted our specimen did not have enough motility. So our IUI was unsuccessful. I am glad to hear there are good outcomes out there with this donor!
  • TulipanMBTulipanMB Junior Member Junior Member
    We are trying with 4725. Hoping for a positive soon.

    we used this donor once before on our first IUI without fertility meds and was unsuccessful. A year later and 5 different donors later, we are maybe going to try this donor again using fertility meds. TYD and Bmratj12 congrats on your success, did you go the IUI route or IVF? Did you have to use any fertility meds? How many attempts? One more question ladies.. sorry we are just going into our 8th IUI and we are in need of any help or Ideas that may have helped you get pregnant. Do you know the sperm count or motility on the sperm sample? Also Im so sorry it didn't work your first time TulipanMB, its so hard to go through the process, I am sending lots of baby dust your way.
  • JuanitaJuanita Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi Tulipan, what was the motility? Thinking about using this donor.
  • JuanitaJuanita Junior Member Junior Member
    wondering how many tries it took with this donor, we are going to be trying our 3 iui
  • TulipanMBTulipanMB Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi Zamora! I am not sure. That day is all a blur. We went from being super excited to do the IUI to then being told the specimen was a dud. We are trying again in a month or so. This was second attempt, but first with this donor. I just remember the doctor walking in and saying there was hardly any movement. We are on clomid. Best of luck to you Zamora on this journey! It is a challenging one but I try to focus on the outcome, it's rough some days though. If I find out more info I will pass it along.

    Hi everyone! We just purchase a vial from donor 4725 which will be our first iui attempt this month with clomid. Glad to hear there were some sucess stories with 4725. Praying all goes well for us. Good luck to the ladies also trying.

    Thank you! I sent you a private message Zimora415 :)
  • TulipanMBTulipanMB Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi Zamora and Shanic32! We had to take a brief pause from trying but we are going to try again hopefully this month. Lots of changes going on in our lives but all is well. I hope y'all are doing well and that you have health, good luck and baby dust in your immediate futures!
  • JuanitaJuanita Junior Member Junior Member
    HI Tulipan, I'm glad you are giving it another try :) It's nice to have people to chat with on here. Are you going the iui route again or ivf? We have decided that our next step is IVF we are in the Birth Control stage of it, will find out on Monday what meds we will be using. If all goes well we will expect a mid November transfer. Good Luck and baby dust to you also!!
  • CarolinaYuxCarolinaYux Junior Member Junior Member
    My partner and I had success with 4725 on our 2nd egg transfer.
  • TulipanMBTulipanMB Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi Zamora415! We will be trying IUI once again. It is nice to chat with others going through similar experiences. It will be nice to see where this adventure takes us all. Let's keep in touch!
  • Shanic32Shanic32 Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi TulipanMB thank you!! We are trying this month also. good luck to you too ��

    I'm thinking maybe because it's post thaw?! Ours is 35% & 15.3 million. Somethings are confusing. I'm learning all of this stuff as we go lol. Starting clomid on Tuesday and have an ultrasound scheduled for the 26th!! I private messaged you back Zimora415 but I'm not sure you received it. It's not in my sent box.
  • TulipanMBTulipanMB Junior Member Junior Member
    So I'm sad to say that our doc didn't give us exact numbers but I know post thaw she said approximately about less than 15% motility. Are most of those who conceived through IVF?
  • JuanitaJuanita Junior Member Junior Member
    as far as I can see it seems like only one has conceived through IVF, not sure about the first 2 that started this chat. Haven't heard anything else from them. We start our injections for IVF in 3 weeks, just had our injection class last night. It was kind of scary I had to give my wife a test IM shot and I almost felt like I was going to faint lol. But I think I will be ok. We got this...... Thinking of you ladies!!! Hope all is going good.
  • JenolinaYuxJenolinaYux Junior Member Junior Member
    Any updates? I'm Carolina's parter, we also had a positive with this donor via IVF.
  • JuanitaJuanita Junior Member Junior Member
  • Shanic32Shanic32 Junior Member Junior Member
    We are in the tww day 9. We caved in and tested today with a very very faint positive. Hoping it's not still from the trigger shot so we will test again tomororw. Praying for a darker line!!! It was so hard waiting 14 days to test especially with so many preg symptoms lol. Will update soon!
  • Shanic32Shanic32 Junior Member Junior Member
    JenolinaYux did you guys try iui with this donor before IVF? We are in the tww now after iui. My wife is carrying.
  • CarolinaYuxCarolinaYux Junior Member Junior Member
    We had success with donor 4725 (a baby girl born last week). Good luck everyone!
  • TYDTYD Junior Member Junior Member
    We did reciprocal IVF and the embryologist had to use ICSI because as you all have figured out the motility is low. That is why the IVF is working for most and IUI is not. We had a baby girl from this donor born Feb 2017 and are now pregnant with another girl due 2019. I just called the cryobank and seems this donor has 10-15 reported pregnancies already as well. Our girl is perfect and healthy so we are happy. How is everyone else's babies and attempts going?
  • ShannonShannon Junior Member Junior Member
    We have a wonderful daughter from donor 4725. We have decided to expand our family but are saddened to report 4725 is not available. We would love to have the opportunity to try and provide a sibling for her from the same donor. If anyone would be willing to sell us their vial or vials we would be eternally grateful. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
  • Bmratj12Bmratj12 Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi All- I have not been on this thread for quite some time (busy with our little now 2 year old)! We are expecting our 2nd child June 2019 with donor 4725- another boy! We did have success with IUI with donor 4725.
