Sheannca I have been thinking about you and wondering how you are doing. I wish you the best with your IVF!
That's so sweet. I've thought about you recently as well. Despite being antsy for March to come, I'm doing well. I've decided during this time that I wait, I will get healthier so I'm in my best shape for the procedure. I have gained a considerable amount of weight in the last couple years, as I was in school and not fully taking care of myself and these last couple months the weight really packed on. Not sure if the fertility drugs had a hand in as well. So, I joined WW a week ago and am down just under 6 lbs. Soon, I will return to my gym and probably start taking yoga classes.
I don't know what the future IVF procedure has in store for me. I'm hopeful that it will work but nothing is guaranteed. I'll have just turned 40 when I start the process. Hopefully my age won't be a factor.
I'm sorry it hasn't worked for you thus far. If I were to bestow any insight on you, is that at least you have a plan which also leads to IVF. So, you're doing everything that you can. Perhaps your destiny is to have multiples which is more possible with IVF. Ever think of that? Try to find some positive in all this. The positive thinking will get you through this.
I sent you a pm, sheannca...
Just keep it going. How many vials do you have? All it takes is one to get in there.
Good that you have a good plan to get this going. Wish you luck on this.
Don't get discouraged! All you need is one! How many times are you going to try?
just a quick word to say I will try my first IUI and join the journey in January 2018, cannot wait!
I know Fairfax allows to Private Forums by Donor Number / Sibling Registry, I was wondering whether there is already one created for donor 4991 I can join?
In the meantime, I take this opportunity to wish you all a restful holiday season and a very happy 2018.
Hi HTGN,
We usually just communicate on this forum for 4991 or any of the other forums with 4991. We have a private group on FB for those who are pregnant with 4991 to make it easier. Good luck for you in January and keep in touch with us so we can know how your process. Read through the forums we have and you can get an idea of everyone's journey. I think so far there are 8 pregnancies, one set of twins.
Hopefully this works out for you that you won't have to go to another donor. Don't forget to reach out for any extra vials that may be available for 4991 before you go to another donor. Some may be available.
Just wanted to get on here and say I am in day 1 of my tww right now. Who knew time could pass by so slowly. Any suggestions to help calm my mind ?
I'm currently in my tww right now with donor 4991. It's true what they say, time passes very slowly. Let's hope for a positive !!
Keep yourself busy!!! That's what I did. I was at a conference all week. Forgot all about the wait to the point I was about to have a drink and caught myself after one sip!
I have been busy at work so it has helped a little. I also took a test and getting a faint line at 11 dpiui. Hopefully that means something good!
A faint line does mean positive, but I would get the clear blue that gives a definite pregnant or not pregnant result to be sure.
This is awesome!! Please let us know after you blood work and we will get you added to the FB sibling page!! You will be number 9 that we know of!!!
Beta test results today, HCG level was 327. I'm definitely pregnant
March is a good month! Happens to be my birthday month so sending birthday wishes your way for a successful transfer.
Sorry you are having so many problems with this process!!! You have 2 boys to try and I am positive that one will take being that the boys are the theme! Good luck!
So sorry about this Mrccijf. Sending you positives and good vibes!
I am new to this forum, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this but my wife and I have been using donor 4991 for several iui cycles now. Since he is no longer donating, I am hoping to see if anyone has any vials available to sell? (either now, or in the future).
Thank you.
My wife and I are new to this forum and have been using donor 4991 for several cycles. We are looking to purchase more vials if anyone has any to sell back. Thank You.
Welcome to the forum. There was one person selling but I am not sure they sold theirs already. If you search 4991, the post should come up and you can reach out to them.
I am still deciding if I am going to sell mine. I will make a decision by next month and post to everyone if I do.
