Donor 4824

opiofytcopiofytc Junior Member Junior Member
hello all,

I couldn't find any post on donor 4824 so I thought I wud start one myself. My wife and I are a lesbian couple. This is now our second time using this donor and our 3rd iui. We have been trying to conceive for 10months with no success yet but I feel this cycle is the one. I was diagnosed with PCOS last year. Baby dust to all.

    I had my first ultra sound today. Baby is right where it shud be at this stage. Due date July 21, 2018 I know there is at least 25 reported pregnancies with this donor. Is there really no one else out there?

    Hey there! Just joined the forums today and saw your messages. I'm a single mom, and I used donor 4824. My son was born 11/29/17. He is beautiful, healthy, and has striking red hair. :) How is your pregnancy going?

    Hello everyone!
    I'd like to use this donor, but before that I've been trying to contact you all to know a bit more about how it went, but still haven't got any replies. If you could tell me more details about your experiences, it would help me a lot. Hopefully I'll get replies soon.

    Seems like he is now retired. Oh well, i guess the search continues.
  • rose_mayrose_may Junior Member Junior Member
    Sorry. Retired only in the states. I'm in Canada and was able to grab 3 vials for iui. Fingers crossed.

    Hopefully, your pregnancy is going well. I searched 3 or 4 different sperm banks for about 5 or 6 months, Donor 4824 was the only one to match exactly what I was looking for. He is no longer in the program and is low on sperm so I will purchase more IUI's soon for baby #2.

    Hello,
    Hopefully, you were able to purchase with Donor 4824, now he is siblings only. I did several IUI's before I got pregnant. My pregnancy was really easy and next summer I will try for baby #2.

I am happy 2 announce that my wife conceived on her first try. Praying for a successful pregnancy so that we can continue using this donor for siblings. She's due July 2019.

    Congratulations!!!!! So that would make her how far along now? My son will be 1 in less than two weeks. I had my share of misfortunes during IVF but got there in the end and he is the most amazing little boy. I'll keep you in my thoughts.

    Hi Gwen! How old is your first? I have a nearly 1 year old son and am in touch with others who used this donor and have very young children as well. Would love to connect!

    Hello, I am wondering where abouts in Canada. My wife and I conceived via IUI and birthed a baby girl on January 5, 2019. We currently live in Langley, BC (about 35 minutes away from Vancouver). Looking forward to hear your journey!

    I have my first iui tomorrow with this donor! I'm in manitoba.
  • rose_mayrose_may Junior Member Junior Member
    Congrats! I've got the 3 vials but am hoping for beginners luck. First iui is tomorrow and then the wait begins. I'm in Winnipeg. Did your baby end up with red hair? :)

    Good luck! Waiting is the worst. Our baby seems to have light brown hair, but depends on the lighting. At times it appears to have a hint of red when the light shines on her head.
  • rose_mayrose_may Junior Member Junior Member
    Oh cool. I love red hair so that was something I looked for. It's one day at a time here. :) I'll update if there is any news.
  • opiofytcopiofytc Junior Member Junior Member

    Hi all - a handful of families who conceived using 4824 have a private Facebook group where we can share info and just connect in general. I know it's not everyone's comfort level, but if you are interested in connecting with other families and/or seeing pictures of these amazing babies as they grow, please send me a private message through this site and I can add you to the FB group.
