Trying to decide between donors

    Yes! Yes! I was dead set against seeing the adult picture at first. I was worried that I'd see the donor every time I looked at my child. But after my wife convinced me to look at a couple baby vs adult pictures.....no more discussion was needed. The most gorgeous babies didn't even resemble the adults in a lot of cases. So yup, we decided not to choose a donor who didn't provide an adult photo. ;)

    I agree with both of you! My wife and I are in the "search for a donor" phase and there is a MAJOR difference between some of the baby verses adult photos. We are having a hard time without the adult photo. Some have really cute baby pics and then you go to the adult and it is like a different human being. I felt a bit shallow for wanting ALL of the info/pics possible but then again I think it is fair right?! We are potentially making a baby with this person...Do either of you have children already? We are looking at 4940 currently...we have a consult scheduled for February 21st to meet with the fertility specialist. We are currently in Houston and are both super excited and nervous! It is nice to have this forum though....seems like we are all going through the same emotions etc...

    I'm in Houston too! I am using 4940...single mom by choice. I am 39 but have no fertility issues. I had 2 unsuccessful IUIs in the fall and moved to IVF and just had my FET of a 6-day blast that had pgs testing and is perfect �� Now just finishing out the bedrest and all the waiting!! �� What fertility practice are you going to consult with A&D? I am with HFI---Woodlands. Dr. Steward is amazeballs ����

    We have a baby by donor 4940 so just trying to meet some other forum members on here that may be using that donor or may have babies already?

    If anyone wants to talk to me about other donors from Xytex, use the messaging feature to send me a direct message so we can talk (click on my user name which will take you to my profile, from there you can send me a message). I'm not sure if it's against forum rules to talk about Xytex Donors here.

    so I am new at this, what is the process for all of this? Like you choose a donor then what? Can you do it at home on your own? Or you must have a gyn doctor?
