Donor 5104?

Stellafaerie13Stellafaerie13 Junior Member Junior Member
Anyone else planning to use 5104? We are planning our first IUI this month; natural cycle, home-monitored. Although his count is 10 million TMC, his motility in three samples is only 35% :( Im trying hard not to feel hopeless, but it's very difficult with motility that low. Was hoping to be able to join a potential mother on her journey with the same donor. Hope to hear from someone!

    Hey, I know it's been a minute since you posted this, but I also know how frustrating and hopeless this process can seem, so I thought I'd reply. My wife and I went with donor 5104 back in September of 2016. I don't remember the motility, but we now have a baby girl from this donor so it did get the job done. Hopefully that helps a little.

    Hi, Oliviakins. I had twin boys using donor 5104 in February. I hope your baby girl is doing well!

    She's doing very well. She's really happy and loves music. She's currently cruising but not quite walking on her own. No health issues or allergies to report. I hope your sons are doing well also.

    After a few months of weighing in on all the great donors fairfax has to offer, my wife and I have chosen 5104 and will be ordering today. We're doing IUI at a fertility clinic, but was considering if anyone has left over vials to sell we could try at home as well. Let me know - thanks!

    Momtobe88: I will connect with you if we end up having an extra! We just did our second try today (first time was successful, but ended in silent miscarriage at 7 wks gestation).

    Good luck! Our first two IUIs were unsuccessful. We’ll try two more times before moving into IVF

    Hi! I have beautiful and brilliant baby boy with donor 5104 through IVF. I just recently went back to try for a sibling. Sadly, I lost baby girl early in the pregnancy, and I have no more vials left. If anyone has an extra vial of 5104, I would really love to purchase. The donor is apparently inactive now... but my heart breaks to think that he won't have a biological sibling. If anyone can help, let me know!! :)

    I'm obviously late to the party, but I thought I'd chime in and say that I have a beautiful, chunky little baby girl with donor 5104. I inseminated at home and had success on my first cycle. I was so extremely lucky. If anyone has extra vials, I am also looking to try for a bio sibling for my sweet girl. Good luck to all. (:

    We are looking for vials of donor 5104. If anyone has any they are willing to sell my family would be so grateful. We have a 3 y/o son and 2 week old daughter from this donor. Thank you in advance!
