I'm brand new to this, and just reviewed profiles for roughly 3 hrs. Trying to narrow it down at this point. Any feedback (good or bad) on these would really help. Thanks in advance!!

    I purchased four vials of 5344 a few days ago and am going to start IUI this cycle, so I obviously think he's a good choice. :) It took me a long time to pull the trigger and I think I viewed every single ID option profile on the site, but I like his voice and his values. Good luck!
  • jbirdjbird Junior Member Junior Member
    Thank you! Yes, it is taking me some time to pull the trigger, so it's nice to hear others feel the same and I'm not alone in it. I'm hoping to become a single mom by choice, so I don't have a partner to bounce these things off of. I'd love to hear how it goes with 5344 if you are open to sharing. Good luck!

    Thanks! I'm doing my first IUI with donor 5344 tomorrow morning. I'm also trying to be a single mom so I know how it's tough to make such a big decision on your own, but I did bounce my short list of donors off a couple friends. My main criteria were that the donor be open-ID (non-negotiable for me), reasonable medical history, and that he felt likable/smart in his recorded interview. There were a lot of donors where I liked their little kid picture but then I listened to the audio and immediately felt like they weren't right for me. Have you narrowed down your choice at all?

    I had a daughter in May 2016 from donor 4280. My daughter has curly hair and likes to play in the dirt!

    Did you end up making a choice?

    We had a boy June 2018, and we used donor 4590

    We also had a son with 4590 on our second time through IUI. He was born in Jan 2018.

    I tried in Aug, but it didn't take. So I'll be trying again this month with 4280. Wish me luck!

    We had our son this June with donor 5344. He is healthy, happy, and full of giggles and smiles. You made a good choice.

    We had triplet boys in Mar of '16 with donor 4590. They are healthy, happy balls of energy!

    any luck with 4280? we tried in August as well (at home) and it didn't take. Since then we started working with a fertility clinic and my wife needed to have some polyps removed and then wait for a cyst to stop producing to much estrogen. We are good to go for this month and we are trying to decide if 4280 is a good choice. We like everything about 4280 but there isn't an adult photo!!

    It's been quite the year... I had 3 IUIs that didn't take, then moved on to injections and had an overwhelming response. So much so that we had to cancel the cycle. I'm getting ready to move into IVF, still with donor 4280. Any others out there with luck using this donor?

    Hi!, This was with IVF or IUI?? If the first, how many did you implant?
