great story. we are also a same sex couple from new york.we had a little girl 4 years ago and when we decided to have another, our donor was inactive too. it was heartbreaking at first, but we chose another donor and now how a wonderful 11 month old little boy.they are my dream come true. we r so blessed to have them.

Congratulations! We were planning on using another donor...we bought 6 vials a while back...but when our son was born and we didnt do the cord banking we really started thinking about using the same donor if it became possible. Finding this site and reading so many stories has made me really start thinking about trying again and soon. I called Fairfax today and found that the donor we used actually is NOT inactive My partner and I are both so excited! Here we go again....cant wait It'll be a few months of planning and saving before we can actually do the IUI (if we can wait ) We'll just have to wait and see

My partner used the only vial she bought back in 2008. We had a beautiful little girl in April of 2009. Its now my turn to try and when I was looking to pick a guy, the original guy was inactive. However, right before I was going to purchase vials he had 7 units come available. I bought two, and will go in Monday for my first attempt. Heres hoping it takes. I took clomid and will take ovadril sat night. Right now my follicas are only at 14 and 11 so they need a bit more growing time.

My partner and I had the same problem. We had our first child in 2008. It took us 7 tries using IUI with a fertility specialist. By the time I finally got pregnant we were out of money to buy extra vials and store them. Six months later we wanted to start working on a second child and found that the donor did not have any vials left. We decided that we would look for a donor that had very similar features as our first childs donor. We did find one and used him. Our second child took us 4 tries before taking. Right after getting pregnant with our second child I got an email from a woman who had a kid using the same donor as we did for our first. She said she had extra vials if we would like to buy them. Unfortunately it was too late as I was 2 months pregnant. I love him (second child) to death and the two kids suprisingly look alot alike. But if you are looking to use the same donor I would suggest going on to www.donorsiblingregistry.com and seeing who else has had a kid using the same donor number. They may have vials that don't need anymore and would be willing to sell.
