    I am asking this to the people who obviously love donor 5077....i have spent the weekend looking for a new donor and i am struggling a lot!.....i love donor 5077 but have suffered 2 miscarriages with him.... if anyone was in the same shoes as I would you give him another shot or continue?
  • 2Mommies2Mommies Junior Member Junior Member
    I think you should follow your heart and do what you feel is right for you. I love this donor so much I just paid an extra $1k to get genetic testing done on him. They suggested I try another donor, but I just felt so strongly about 5077 that it was worth it to us. Whichever you chose, I truly hope you get your rainbow baby!
  • nursegurlnursegurl Senior Member Senior Member
    thank you 2mommies....i am assuming his genetic testing was all clear??? I think i am going to try with him a couple more times.
  • 2Mommies2Mommies Junior Member Junior Member
    We don't know yet. We are only having him tested because I got tested and I'm a carrier for 3 genetic disorders and it was recommended that our donor be tested. We are supposed to get the results within the next week or so. I'm glad you have decided to try again <3
  • RxRachel87RxRachel87 Member Member
    I agree with 2Mommies - only you can make that decision - but I agree that you have to go with your heart. I really liked the donor also - and had that miscarriage after our first embryo transfer back in November. After having this sweet baby girl on Halloween I couldn’t imagine using another donor! Now I just hope he keeps donating in the event that our last embryo doesn’t work out. I’d need to purchase more sperm for another IVF cycle, then. I’m glad you are trying again with this donor and I really hope it is successful for you!

    Hey there everyone! I'm not sure why I didn't look through these forums months ago. My name is Nicki. I am 37 years old, and my wife and I chose donor 5077. I work in the fitness industry and eat pretty healthy. All of my fertility testing came back above average for my age, and I felt very fortunate. We bought 3 vials from 5077 and decided to start with no fertility treatments and just regular IUI for the first 3 tries. I inseminated for the first time on October 22. I am proud to say that I am currently 10 weeks and 1 day pregnant. I had my third sonogram this morning and the baby's heartbeat is still super strong (172 bPM), and baby is already 4cm (a little over 1.5 inches). Everything so far has been a miracle, given my age.

    After reading through this thread, I almost started to panic. I decided not to. I feel like everyone is going to match and not match with some people. We all have our own journeys. Clearly, this man has had pregnancies. It is unfortunate that so many that have used him have had issues, and I'm very sorry for that. This guy really stood out to my wife and I, as I'm sure he did with each of you. But no matter what, just continue to fight and find the right guy for your baby's journey. I know if I would've tried 3 times with this guy, we probably would've changed paths.

    Anyways, I just wanted to share another positive story about this donor. I wish all of you the best of luck, and sending much love and light your way.

    Hey everyone! So glad I found this forum and I wanted to share my own positive story with this donor. My wife is 24 weeks pregnant with this donor after our third frozen embryo transfer. We are due April 13th (and I think I saw someone else was due really close to then which I think is so funny.) And we are having a little boy!

    For us we loved how a lot of the characteristics this donor had were shared with my wife. We did reciprocal IVF which is my egg and her uterus so we loved the idea of trying to pass on some of her qualities by matching them with the donor- like musical talent, personality, hair colour. In the end I'm so happy that this donor ended up working for us because we had gotten attached, even though we knew going in that we might have to change donors at some point.

    Looking forward to seeing how everyone's pregnancy goes and how many more diblings our little guy will have!
  • RxRachel87RxRachel87 Member Member
    Congratulations Nicki! I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly! If you’re interested in keeping in touch as you have your little one - feel free to ask for access to the forum specific for donor 5077. It’s at the bottom of the forum page - I like that it’s private so only we can see it. I’ve shared some photos of my daughter and am hoping to keep in touch with other families who used this donor. Again - congratulations!!
