Success stories

I thought it might be nice to start an area where people can tell their success stories....their age, how long it took for them to get pregnant, means/medication/etc used to get pregnant, # of attempts, donor # they used, etc. I thought it would encourage those of us who are still trying.

    My husband and I ttc for 2 years on our own before seeking help from our Dr. We tried clomid at home and that didn't work so my Dr. had my husband do a SA and that came back bad, they said my husband had 0 sperm, this was very hard for us to handle. My Dr. reffered my husband to a Urologist to see what was going on, that Dr. did a exam and told us that my husband was born without the Vas Deferens and that he would never have children naturally. We were shakin but determined to have a child no matter what that took. We researched adoption and donor sperm. And we decided that using donor sperm would give us the chance to have the family we so desperatley wanted. I ordered 3 vials of donor 1966 and used clomid 50 mg, with IUI and monitoring I had 1 good follie and the first IUI failed, I ordered 1 more vial of 1966 and did a second IUI with 50 mg clomid but also had the trigger shot I had 2 follies this time and both were good size, We only did IUI one time this time and It was success!! We now have an amazing 3 year old son. Our Journey did not end there we had 1 sample left and after our son was born we didnt think we would go through this all again, so we donated the one vial to our clinic and we were done. Well 2 years later the baby bug hit us again, We were sad that we had given up that vial but knew our donor was still available, and after months of thinking and preparing for this adventure again we are back on the horse, We ordered 2 vials of 1966 again and Iam in my first cycle of 50 Mg Clomid and awaiting for the trigger shot in a few days and IUI to follow. Lots of prayers and positive thinking this time around. Hoping for another miracle in our lives.

    Just adding to my post a few months ago, after 50 mg clomid My body did not respond so we cancelled our cycle, this cycle I was on 100 mg clomid and just came from my follie check appt. and it's not good my body is just not responding like it did 4 years ago. I am very sad : ( Our Dr. said we may need to start using injectables but we are not sure that we can go that far! Lots of baby dust to you all out there. We have lots to think about!

    What about trying acupuncture? I just started and it really feels like it's helping with my ovulation.
  • Have you had success a second time with donor 1966?
