  • Hi, I used 4115 successfully in 2010. I just purchased more for child #2. Good luck if you purchased 4115! :)

    Hi,

    That's great! #4115 was our 1st choice and #2689 was our second choice. #2689 had the highest motility numbers and we went with him. I started testing today for ovulation, my birthday is on April 28th and I truly feel I will ovulate before that or on my birthday...... I feel lucky and having been praying on this with the timing being so perfect and on schedule that it works.

    Tell me how many tries did it take for #4115? Did you do IUI, I would love to hear your story.

    Please wish my luck and send me baby dust, cause if this works it will be the best birthday present ever getting a BFP!

    Thanks!

    Hi "whattheharry",

    Did you have a boy or a girl? Did you get pregnant right away or with multiple tries? I'm very interested in this donor but am attempting to gain more information.

    Thanks!
  • It took me three tries with this donor. I was successfull when I selected to do IVF.

    I had a boy, single birth.

    The only thing that I do not like is there isnt much more about the donor than his medical history and some personality traits based on questions. However I guess that is what comes with an anonymous donor. I believe there are others that have better details. Since having a full sibling is important to me, I will use this donor again for child #2, however if I had to do it all over, I'd pick an 'willing to be known' or 'open' donor.

    My recommendation, if you are doing an IUI, select a donor with high motility rates.

    Good luck Girlygirl ... and nethomas00, wish I had more or a better opinion for you.

    Let me know how it all works out for both of you.
    :)

    We are doing IUI and that's why I chose #2689 as he had the highest motility. Please send me baby dust. I started testing for ovulation today.
    I will keep you updated! :D
  • Girlygirl28Girlygirl28 Junior Member
    Good Luck Neththomas! Keep us posted on who you decide to use. :D
  • nethomas00nethomas00 Junior Member
    Thanks for the information!

    Did you have to call to find out the motility rates ahead of time or am I missing something on their profiles? We're hoping to decide on our final pick in the next couple of days as we will be doing our first IUI in May. 4108 is our first choice (along with another donor from another bank) but if I knew motility maybe he wouldn't be a first choice. When I called for more information they were able to tell me he has 15-20 reported pregnancies but nothing about motility.

    Good luck girlygirl!

    The Reps in Customer Service is unable to give you the pregnancy numbers a supervisor has to. However, you can request them to pick vials with the highest motilty which a supervisor goes in for you and handpick.

    I called many times asking as much as questions as I can. They were wonderful everytime and helpful as well as the supervisors. My Doctor's Lab is great too with helping my through the process.

    I am still waiting for a positive LH Surge to get inseminated. My Birthday is Thursday and I think it may happen tomorrow or on that day which is special regardless of the day this week. Please send prayers for me and baby dust my way.

    nethomas I wish you the best of luck and more baby dust.
  • I am pregnant with twins from Donor #4115! We were originally pregnant with triplets, but lost Baby C at 7 weeks. I am due in November.

    We went through 3 IUI's-# was our lucky one!
  • Girlygirl28Girlygirl28 Junior Member
    Congratulations on having twins! We decided to use 2689. I am in my 2ww. I will find out Wednesday on if I am pregnant. I am keeping my fingers crossed!!!!

    Did u use mess?

    We are considering 4119. I know he's relatively new, but he already has a child of his own which is a good sign. Is anyone considering him as well? We're going to buy his lifetime photos this coming week. Our first IUI will be in the beginning of June, so we have to make a decision soon...
  • GirlyGirl, did you get your bfp?? Hope so!

    DP and I are considering using #2689...do you know how many pregnancies have been reported from him?
  • I waited one month too long. I found donor 4115 a few weeks ago and didn't sit down to order until now and he's no longer available. Does anyone have any vials they are willing to part with? I am scheduled for my first IUI next week.
  • I had a baby girl in 2010 with donor 4115 and an egg donor and am thinking about trying for #2. I just learned that there is no inventory for this donor. Does anyone have any vials they won't be using? The egg donor isn't willing to donate again so I'd like to at least use the same sperm donor. Help!
  • I used Donor 4115 to conceive my daughter born in July 2010. I would am interested in talking to other parents of Donor 4115 offspring. I am also looking for vials of this inactive donor sperm or embryos conceived with Donor 4115. I'm 42 and would like to start trying as soon as I can. Excited to hear that there are other 4115 children. If you would like to share information, I am open to that.

    Julie
  • Madlub143 do you have any 4119 we can buy back from you?
