Has anyone used 2976?

I just called today to have my second specimen of his sent for my second attempt late next week. Maybe we'll both get lucky in one month. Fingers crossed. I admit, while I think my other selection is excellent as well, I'll be a bit disappointed if I have to move on to trying that donor.
Maybe your pregnancy is ok??? Im hoping all is well. Please keep us posted. Thx.
..good luck!
I do wonder what the criteria is for them changing to a positive status - just that someone tested positive, or does it need to reach a certain point?
do you mind if i ask your age? being older myself in terms of fertility, i understand from reading some things that egg quality often results in chromosomal issues/miscarriages that would be unrelated, i think, to the donor or his sperm. maybe your doctor can answer whether these specific chromosomal issues are of the genetic type or more connected with either egg quality or just the flukes that happen sometimes with pregnancy.
A chromosomal abnormality like Trisomy 18 or 21 is a sporadic event and not considered hereditary. This does not increase the risk for others who use this donor. In addition donor 2976 has had a normal chromosomal study (karyotype) which rules out the rare event when these events can be inherited.
If you have any additional questions or concerns about this donor please call Fairfax Cryobank Client Services at 800-338-8407.
I had my second attempt today, but I'm a bit down as a result. At the onset my doctor comes in and says "we need to talk" and she proceeded to say that looking at things under the scope there was barely any movement and she asked where I got it from. Kind of disheartening. What does everyone else's doctor "do" when you head in there?
Sibemom, did they give you any numbers though? That is concerning. Did your lab contact Fairfax? Im sorry....maybe you still have a chance! Stay hopeful. Good luck!
It just happened this afternoon, so I did leave them a message with info to contact Fairfax, not sure how all that works out. Thanks for the good luck. Yes, there is always still a chance. I wish there was someone I knew that I could trust to donate and not want involved (worry about legal blah).
I am 34 and all my fertility tests have come back excellent. I am a very good responded to fertility meds with 5 follicles the first cycle and 7 follicles the second cycle. However, I just found out today that we are miscarrying again. I feel so defeated. I am so scared to get pregnant again and lose another one. I am so thankful that this loss was much earlier that the last. The late miscarriage was so hard! I had already had like 7 ultrasounds and watched the baby grow. So beautiful! We are considering moving to IVF with PGD. PGD is when they biopsy the embryo to check for chromosomal abnormalities before the embryo is placed in the uterus. We will be talking to our RE Monday afternoon. We have 6 vials left of 2976, so my husband is not willing to switch donors.
Good luck ladies! Keep us posted!
I would share, but I ordered the printed picture that came through the mail. I think that was before the email option was available. Sorry!! You won't be disappointed, though. He has really pretty brown eyes and a nice smile.
