I wish we knew whether or not donors had confirmed healthy births, but only positive pregnancies. Has anyone had a birth with this donor? Thank you!

    We just ordered some of his vials for our IUI. I would love to know if someone had a confirmed birth! Did you end up buying any vials?

    ABBB- we are 8 weeks pregnant this coming Sunday with donor 4788! We are due November 17! Congratulations! It's amazing to think our little one has a half sibling.

    Hi tafreeze - Do you know what you are having? We just found out a boy! What made you choose this donor? It was SO hard for us to pick. He's a little on the tall side, so we just joke that we are going to have this giant kid!!

    Hi ABBB- We do not know the gender yet. We are still with our fertility clinic and will transfer to our OB in a couple of weeks. We are hoping to request blood work to let us know if we are having a boy or girl! My wife shares a lot of his features, which made him a great choice, plus we liked his profile. Oddly enough, his favorite pet is a pug and we work with a pug rescue, so we figured it was meant to be. We are now 9 weeks along and excited to be entering the latter part of the first trimester! I am dying to know if it's a boy or a girl. I am excited for you guys. I think we may all be having giant kids!

    We are 17 1/2 weeks pregnant with donor 4788 and we are having a little girl. I wish you the best of luck! We were successful on our first try and I hope the same for you!

    i have a beautiful 11 month old little man thanks to donor 4788. Good luck to all! I would love to eventually connect him with bio half-siblings.

    Our daughter was born in November and she is absolutely precious. It's incredible to me to know she has siblings in this world. I would also love to eventually connect with her bio half-siblings as well. I know I am partial as her mama, but she is wonderful and we are still floating on cloud nine.

    thinking of using 4788. A little concerned with the acne posted. Do any of the children have skin issues?
    · Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • TrishaTrisha Junior Member Junior Member
    That's a great question! I don't remember reading about skin issues, but we were so overwhelmed with the donors and making the right choice, I am not surprised I overlooked that! Our little one is just 3 months. I hope she doesn't struggle with acne. Teenage years/puberty is bad enough...

    Hey ladies, I would love if anyone who used this donor could tell me what his sperm mobility was when you used him?
    · Share on FacebookShare on Twitter
  • ElenaElena Junior Member Junior Member
    His motility was always really great for us. I think 15-20 ppm. There was a time when it was low and we were refunded by fairfax for that vial. As far as skin issues, our baby has a touch of exzema and some of those "raspberry" marks. A big one on his back and a smaller one on his leg. But - he's super cute and sweet. I wouldn't let that deter you, but I am biased!

    Our little girl has tiny "raspberry" marks on the back of her head (It's incredible to think she has other half-siblings out in this world). I tell her I think they look like angel kisses, and our daughter has incredible skin and coloring. We definitely feel like we hit the lottery with this donor and our daughter.

    I’m using 4788 for my first IUI this morning! Fingers crossed!

    Good luck and lots of baby dust! Our daughter is the most incredible little human being and I am so thankful we had this donor to help us grow our family. I hope your two week wait goes quickly and ends with a positive test!

    This is so weird. I replied to this thread yesterday, but my response isn't showing up....My daughter was born last November (2019). Do you know if there is a Group 4788 in the forum for us to connect? OR are you all just using this thread? (I have no idea if I'm using this portal correctly. It's not exactly intuitive.)

    Hi SuziBrantley

    We have a little boy from this donor. He's wonderful and has the most adorable blonde curls. He was born Oct 2018 and just turned 2. I would love to connect and compare notes!

    Elena, I tried to send you a private message a few weeks ago, but I don't think it worked. If you would like to connect outside of this forum, please feel free to contact me via Facebook. My name is Suzi Brantley. OR my e-mail address is sbrantley@hedrickgardner.com. (Anyone else is welcome to contact me, too!)
