    Congratulations! That’s really exciting! Did you get pregnant the first time? Are you a single mom? That’s so exciting! I’m looking to start in the summer. Did you purchase adult photos?
  • JT.caJT.ca Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi Kelly, yes! First time, first iui. I was really suprised but at the same time nervous during the 2weekwait after the iui. But it's there! 2bloodwork confirmed it. I'm excited for the ultrasound next week.
    I replied to your posts when you asked how iui works and about vials purchasing. I suggest you secure them while they are instock. Yes, i'm a single mom too. I got 2 vials so if all works out, i have a spare for a sibling.
    How's your planning so far? July will come so fast before u know it. ��
  • JT.caJT.ca Junior Member Junior Member
    I got an adult pic, no lifetime pic available though! From the sperm bank that i used, i got all the infos for free. It's usually the case when the donor is new (i noticed). Then later on they'll come with a price for every info u need access to. Did you get to choose your donor yet?
  • Kellyp37Kellyp37 Junior Member Junior Member
    Thank you for all the info you have given to me!! Exciting!!! I picked the donor just need to buy the vials. I want to see an adult photo but don’t want to pay for it lol. Is your donor an open donor or anyomous?
  • SherylSheryl Senior Member Senior Member
    Congratulations! So JT.ca, did you have any symptoms that would have tipped you off that you were pregnant? Most of what I've read from others is that they simply felt like their period was coming. I have my blood work next Monday. Part of me wonders if I'm manifesting symptoms. LOL.
  • SherylSheryl Senior Member Senior Member
    kellyp37, if you purchase one of the access packages you can see unlimited photos for 3 months. The top tier will give you $100 off your first vial. It's better option than purchasing the second best tier. This will allow you access to tons of pictures.

    Hello sheannca, the two week wait was the longest wait. I have been urging to do a home PT. :) the only few things i noticed were cramping.. but a different feel. It seems like something is tearing near my ovaries around 1week after iui. A lighter cramp compared to the day of iui. On the 2nd week, i always have to rush to the washroom -- like every 10-15mins i had to go. Also, i often feel like having a reflux. So far, i'm not experiencing morning sickness, vomitting and the likes but i always feel tired. I had to drag myself out of bed every morning. :) by the way, How's your experience so far?

    Kelly, i finally chose an anonymous. I really wanted to get an open id but the ones that were on my final lists, 2 open id ones don't have reported pregnancies. And i read other threads about them and that's one of their concern. My donor had 1-5 (estimated) reported pregnacies so that is an indicator that there is a better chance. Plus, aside from adult pic and profile, i listened to donors' interviews. It helped me a lot to decide which one to choose from there. :)

    My experience is very similar to yours. Part of me wonders if I'm creating phantom symptoms; however, I don't typically cramp and have had mild cramping and dull backaches since last Thursday.

    My first week, I too was running to the bathroom a lot and then the cramping and backaches began. Not extreme pain at all. If I weren't paying attention and going through this process, I wouldn't even notice the difference. I too feel the cramping in the area of my ovaries. Another thing I notice the first week is as though I was coming down with the flu but the flu never came to fruition. I also felt hotter. I no longer have those sensations in week two, mainly I feel like my period is coming, which, I hear you still happen to feel in your early pregnancy. I still have the slight cramping and backaches but not horrible pain, slight but noticeable. I swear yesterday and today I felt slight nausea as well, but that could have been because of my prenatal vitamins. Again, a slight sensation.

    That being said, I'm a couple days from my blood test. I have no desire to take an over-the-counter test. I rather not know going into my appointment. I'm on pins and needles wishing Monday would hurry up and come already. I don't know how anyone survives the emotional stress of going through the tww month after month. How awful. Ugh.

    Thanks for asking. :)
  • JT.caJT.ca Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi sheannca, i wish you good luck. I really hope you get that positive on monday. Just few more days! Yes, the feeling of getting sick is there and feeling hot than usual. My doctor said if i get any fever to take tylenol. But i'm not a big fan of medicine. I think the most medicine i put in my body were the Ovulation induction meds that i had. All the way up to the trigger shot and they are all worth it! Good luck and hope all goes well with you!

    Congratulations!! I'm so happy to hear you've had success with 5130. We are currently using this donor. Our 3rd IUI is scheduled for tomorrow so I'm really happy I came across this good news. Gives me hope that maybe 3rd time's a charm :)
  • JT.caJT.ca Junior Member Junior Member
    Hello Ic3047, good luck to you! I hope you got it this time. Keep me posted! I actually ended up with an extra vial that i may no longer need if all goes well.
  • kdlCAkdlCA Junior Member Junior Member
    Hello JT.ca, I am currently 6 weeks pregnant with donor 5130. I have an untrasound next week to confirm heartbeat. It was my third IUI.
  • lc3047lc3047 Junior Member Junior Member
    Unfortunately, after 3 failed IUI's....we are moving on to IVF. I'm going to stick with 5130 because I'm hopeful IVF will work. Hearing other's success stories makes feel a lot better about all of this. Hope all is well with you!
  • JT.caJT.ca Junior Member Junior Member
    Hello kdlCA!! Congratulations! That's soo exciting! I'm glad i found other parents using this donor. I hope your ultrasound went well.
  • JT.caJT.ca Junior Member Junior Member
    Hello Ic3047, i do hope your IVF works this time for you. Did you have any medication during your first 3 IUIs? My doc put me on meds right away and had frequent ultrasound prior to my IUI for monitoring.

    Good luck with your procedure. I hope it works this time around.
  • kdlCAkdlCA Junior Member Junior Member
    Thank you and congrats to you as well. So far everything is well, saw a heartbeat at week 8 and going for a 12 week ultrasound soon. Just hoping for a happy and healthy one :)
  • MarleyMarley Junior Member Junior Member
    Donor #5130 is a top choice for my wife and I! We are waiting on some blood work results from the doctor and are hoping to try in the next couple months with IUI. I would love to talk to anyone who has had success with this donor and your experience.
  • RB2216RB2216 Junior Member Junior Member
