My partner and I decided in 2008 we were going to add to our family. It was important to us to try and keep the kids looking close to the same. She has a son that is half black so the best option we had was a latino guy. She took on the first try, twins, however only one made it. Our little girl was born in April of 09. I am going in this week for my turn. The doner we picked before is not available and there are only Asian or White available so it looks like we wont keep the kids looking the same. Here is our beautiful baby girl!

    Hum......I wonder if we had the same doner? I know there wasnt to many latino options then.
  • Hi ~
    Sorry this took so long...here she is! :)
  • Did you all do Artificial Insemination or IVF? Just wondering how you got GIRLS! I love my boys, but would love a girl. We were told 90% of AI are boys - faster swimmers and such.
    Congrats to you all.

  • Hi Danielle!
    We did IUI...unmedicated. I went in when I tested positive for my surge, and did a back to back IUI. I got pregnant the 1st time! I think your right about boy sperm swimming faster...however, the girls live a little longer...so, male sperm may get there quicker, but maybe the egg isn't there...the female sperm live a little longer and may get to that egg just in time. ;)

    I think it's all truly timing. How may boys do you have?! I think boys are truly adorable too...girls are lovely as well.

    Congrats to you and yours.

    ours was IUI with clomid. I am almost 18 weeks preggo by the same donor and I think this time its a boy, but hopfully sometime soon I will know for sure
  • Hi Blue! ;)
    How's everything coming along?! When will you find out the gender?...will you be sharing?..
    It's so exciting that your adding another beautiful addition to your family!
  • bluesky10bluesky10 Senior Member Senior Member
    Hopefully soon. I am 18 weeks today, and next week when I go back to the doc I will be almost 19 weeks so anytime now. Yes I do plan to share if that is if the little one plans to share.

    how did you end up getting the same donor? I thought you posted you would have to find another donor...did your first donor become available?? Btw she is beautiful!
  • bluesky10bluesky10 Senior Member Senior Member
    Some vials came 7 to be exact, and I bought 2. Luckly the second one did the charm. I find out monday what the monkey is
