in Selecting a Donor
I am new to this site and we are looking for a potential donor. This is all so overwhelming to me and I THINK # 4026 looks like a good candidate. Ahhhhhhhh.. but not sure yet. Has anyone used this donor before??

please help. :?

    It is overwhelming. We are currently pregnant from our third try with 4026 (1 ICI, 2 at home IUIs, all unmedicated). He was the only donor we tried with.

    Good luck!

    @Zunzun- may I ask how many vials you got from him? When you say it's your third time.. does it mean you got 3 vials? My Dr told me to go ahead and purchase 2. And how long did you wait in between to keep trying?

    Sorry for all the questions.. :|

    We tried one vial the first time, for the ICI. After that, we took two cycles off for the holidays. When we started back up, we did two months in a row, with two vials each. So, we did two IUIs two months in a row (and we're pretty sure the very last one took!).

    In other words, we ended up using 5 vials total.

    Good luck!

    We have recently chose donor 4026. We have been curious if anyone has had any luck with him. My first IUI will be the end of July 2011. I had to cancel my last iui due to doctor being out of town.. :( So anxious!!!Any input would be great. Best of luck to all!!!

    Dear howdy,

    I really hope your second attempt will be good news. But don't worry, usually it takes a few tries, which is normal, and the wait and patience is definitely worth it.
    Then when your test turns positive you have millions of other scary things and questions in your mind...it doesn't stop there at the positive. For me every day is a blessing, especially the first few weeks when I was cramping like crazy, I was scared to go to the bathroom every time for the fear of bleeding. I am grateful for every day that passes by and thanks to the nausea that reassures me that things are going just fine.

    Hang in there the right moment with she/he will decide to come is near, and will be perfect!
    Take care,
    Roberta

    Thank you! Don't get discouraged my doc told me it usually takes 3-4 tries..Very unusual for it to take first try...Once it takes it is a whole other roller coaster of emotions...Will be happy to hear a heartbeat...Goodluck... ;)

    Dear Howdy,

    I am so happy for you...with 4 eggs you may end up having twins??? :)
    I will pray for you because this is the most amazing experience you may ask for in your life, yesterday I went for CVS and ultrasound at 12 weeks 2 days, it was AMAZING. Baby was perfect, it was moving and waving and HR was 165...still can't believe it!
    I know you will have a great positive this months, so take it easy, be happy and enjoy life! If you have FB I can add you so you can see the baby pics from yesterday u/s.

    All the best,
    Roberta

    I just posted but wanted to add that with one vial of 4026 and my partners eggs - they retrieved 16 eggs from her (she's 32) and put it with one IVF vial from 4026 and 15 fertilized!!! that is amazing! Since we had so many, we chose to go to day 5 blastocyst stage to have the best chances with what we put in and ended up with 7 amazing quality embryos! The techs said they were the best embryos they had seen in a long time! They put in two and I'm 20 weeks pregnant with twin boys. If we had stopped at day 3, we probably would have had most of the 15. That's amazing! So I do think that 4026 is a very fertile young man! LOL!

    Hey pixie! Im doing great actually. Just sleepy ALLLLLL THE TIIIIIME! geez! Its hard to stay awake !! Sometimes I have to get up from my desk and walk around!

    As far as other symptoms.. nothing else. No nausea. Nothing. Sometimes I don't feel pregnant. Does that make sense? Ahhh but i feel so incredibley happy and my stomach is getting hard.. so I know something is happening! It's just hard not to go crazy.. ugh.. i hate being paranoid and thinking the worst. That's bad huh?

    Anywho.. my US is tomorrow!!! we get to see a heartbeat!! I know I'm going to break down and cry. I can't wait!!!!!! :mrgreen:

    How are you doing?

    Hi Howdy,
    Wishing you all the best for tomorrow, will be thinking of you!
    I'm doing fine, I had terrible tiredness too in first twelve weeks but luckily past all that, feel really good. I think I am starting to feel a few baby movements now, but maybe wishful thinking!
    Good luck and enjoy meeting little bean tomorrow!
    PS I added a post to the private forum yesterday
