Hello, I'm wondering if anyone on here has used 4791 and what their experience was like. Thank you
Comments
I have a daughter from 4791 who was born in January 2017. I got pregnant on my first IUI using him, so my experience was very good. I'd be happy to answer any more questions you might have!
First of all congratulations on the new baby awg! My wife and I are thinking about using this donor as well. We hope to also have a successful first IUI as well! Would you be willing to share pics of the new baby? This donor was ADORABLE as a baby!
I have a very healthy and happy 5.5 month old son from donor #4791. I was able to conceive on my 1st IVF attempt. He shared a lot of physical traits as the donor. He's a cutie!
My little guy has an easy, friendly demeanor as well.
I just had my 2nd IUI done 10 days ago with this donor and he only had 16% moving sperm!!! I bought 4 vials of this donor because of his 15-20 reported pregnancies. I am a mom to a 4 year old little girl and am doing a sperm donor this time...I would love some input on how your experience went??? Thanks!!!
I just had my second iui with this donor I’ll find out Monday if I’m pregnant.... I am a little upset and discouraged because his motility was only 16%!!! I have a 4 year old little girl but am doing donor route this time. Can you please tell me about your experience? Thanks
If you feel uncomfortable with any part of the process, or any donor for that matter, choose one that you/SO will be ok with because it is an important decision.
I'm not sure what his motility was but I had success. It's a difficult journey. Sending you good luck!
I did 3 IUI's with this donor and not pregnant yet. His motility was very low on my 3rd iii-- like 6% or something. I am considering IVF due to the success rate he has had with IVF. Have you done through your IUI yet?
have you done your iui yet ?
Congrats on your baby boy!! Did you do 1 round of iVF??
Thanks
That is sooo great, so happy for you!! I have done 3 failed IUI's and am thinking about moving forward with IVF. The last vials he has had really low motility..... I already had one successful pregnancy not sure what is going on this time . Do you remember the motility?
Okay, thanks for letting me know! No, my first pregnancy was nearly 6 years ago, my daughter is almost 5-I was married at the time. I am doing this by myself this time. I have on vial left of this donor, my next step is to go to an RE at the end of this month. I did 3 IUIS at my OBGYN'S office..not sure if that was the mistake I made.
If you do not mind me asking was the IVF process really difficult?
My original plan (before all the tests) was to do a iui. Ultimately it was discovered the my hormones weren’t happening in the proper order for ovulation. The clinic told me that after 3 iuis, they highly suggested moving on to IVF. My cousin did 3 iuis before moving onto IVF, and her experience was vastly different than mine, despite using the same clinic. I think it’s really just going to be a personal thing whether it’s hard or not. Good luck!

Monie, i have been trying to message you back but it will not let me. Did you get your IUI done yet?
