Donor #2821/2721

My partner and I are new to this process. We are currently in the process of choosing our donor. This has been a very interesting journey so far. We are excited and ready to move forward. The two donors we are considering have all the qualities we are looking for. If anyone have used these donors any information about the donors and the IUI process, would be greatly welcomed and appreciated. Thank you and good luck to all!!!

    Oh boy, talk about exciting! :D
    We are using donor 2821, and have gone through 2 cycles of IUI, without success yet. Finally increasing Clomid this month to 100mg, I'll save my typing and spell out the regime (of course I can't find my paper with all the specifics, so forgive my memory):
    CD 3-7 Clomid 100mg
    Estrace twice a day for ten days, starting CD 3 I think
    Then I go in for U/S day 11 (I scheduled it for May 2 just this morning)
    If I have some mature follicles and the timing is right, I'll take a trigger shot of Ovidrel that night, and then 36 hours later, go in for IUI (this is where 2821 wonderful swimmers come in to play. I've seen them post thaw, I called them "fleas with tails" all the jumping around they were doing.
    Then 5 days after the trigger shot I start Endometrin twice a day. Lastly, Lovenox injections start 9 days after the trigger shot, once a day, 30mcg.
    Phew, it makes me tired thinking about keeping it all straight! We only have two more specimens left of IUI, and my doctor thinks if this doesn't work, then I'll have to try IVF. I'm disappointed, because I've never had trouble getting pregnant, only staying pregnant! :cry:

    I'm just so excited to see someone else who might be working with the same donor, and at the same time! I'm new to the forum, for some reason I was looking in other places for a supportive forum for donor sperm used with same sex couples, and this was here ALL THAT TIME!

    I wish you good luck! Today is cycle day one for me, and one side effect after following the above regimen last month is more cramping than usual, so I'm off to lie down... :D But it COULD be the first day of my pregnancy (technically) if everything goes well over the next few weeks!

    Please post how you are doing, I'd love to follow along now that I know this forum is here!
