Donor 2984

I think I've finally made my choice and am in the process of moving on from the "thinking" stage. Just wanted to know if anyone has used Donor 2984?
Thinker no more :D

    i really liked him! but there was a waiting list (and i had put myself on it) but i purchased another donor...and then got the call from fairfax that he was available a few days later. oh well....but he sounds awesome! good luck!
  • Thanks! Good luck to you too!
  • maria2maria2 Senior Member Senior Member
    Also, I had called Fairfax and he had pregnancy range 1-5.
  • amanningamanning Junior Member
    I was wondering if anyone had more information to share about Donor 2984? Getting ready to purchase! Thanks!
  • amanningamanning Junior Member
    Also, what does the range mean? 1 out of 5 vials produce a pregnancy? :P
  • robinrobin Senior Member Senior Member
    The range means he has somewhere between 1-5 pregnancies reported.

    I also used 2984... I am doing unmedicated cycles right now, so my first try with him was unsuccessful... I go for my next iui around July 8th using him again... Crossing my fingers it works this time... :)

    Hi:

    I was wondering if anyone has bought the adult photo of this donor? If so, might you give me your impressions?

    After extensive and mentally draining analysis and spreadsheets and craziness, I finally zeroed in on a donor. I had bought many many baby photos and a couple of adult photos--saving those for the finalists. I then get my test results to find out I am CMV neg. Thus, 2984 (among other things...) So, I am considering switching after all of that. But am struggling to put out even more money before the process has even started on yet another photo...so if you have some insight it would be much appreciated. Then maybe that will help me make a determination.

    Thank you.

    And please let me know if there are any updates on pregnancies from him! Would be very interested to hear.

    I am on my 3rd IUI with him, first two negative... hoping the 3rd'sa charm...:) Good luck everyone
  • septembercookieseptembercookie Junior Member Junior Member
    I purchased units of this donor and will undergo IUI within the next couple of weeks. Im excited and a wee bit I guess you could say nervous for lack of a better word. Just wanted to check in with others who may potientially conceive with this donor.

    Hello Everybody,

    We chose Donor 2984 and started the insemination process in August of 2011. My wife was put on chlomid and produced 9 mature eggs. Hence, we did not inseminate that cycle! We went with a natural cycle in September of 2011 and she produced 2 mature eggs; so, we inseminated on September 10th and 11th. Yesterday, we learned that she is pregnant! First try was the charm for us! :)

    Best of luck to everybody else who is using Donor 2984!
  • kynleekynlee Junior Member Junior Member
    Thats awesome news,congrats on the pregnancy... This is my 5th cycle with this donor, hoping#5 is the charm... If not moving onto IVF Again... Crossing my fingers and hanging onto hope this round... I am keeping the faith with God.. :)
  • maria2maria2 Senior Member Senior Member
    Anybody else get a BFP with donor #2984? I'm considering using my next IUI with him...considered him before, but used 2 other donors for my first 4 IUIs...just trying to figure out who to use. Thanks.

    Congrats kmugrauer!!! How's the pregnancy?

    Good luck kynlee!

    Hello,

    I was curious if anyone had the adult or lifetime pictures of Donor 2984? The donor i was using isn't available anymore and i may have to switch and i'm thinking this will be my next "guy". If you don't mind, please let me know and i'll send you my personal email.

    Thanks so much!
  • kynleekynlee Junior Member Junior Member
    I still havent had luck with him, I did 5 iui and now trying a ivf cycle with his since I still had vials left... Anyone have any more luck with him? His counts are good...

    Sine4me- I didnt get pics sorry... If it works this round I will end up purchasing.. Best of luck :)

    we're interested in this donor too. if anyone happens to have the photos to share, we'd love to see them!

    Hello kmugrauer family,

    Not sure if you are still looking at these threads, but I am 4 months pregnant after IUI with Donor 2984. I am pending registration with the subforum for this donor, but if you have any donor-related information to share concerning your child, it would be much appreciated.

    I have gone through initial genetic screening tests - all looks good. Because I am over 40, I am getting pressure to have amniocentesis done regardless.

    Thank you in advance for your understanding.

    Hi giulia2012,
    How is your pregnancy coming along?

    I would love to hear about the results of your tests. I also purchased three vials of this donor and I scheduled my first insemination for January 2013.

    Also if anyone else has any donor-related information to share I would appreciate it.

    Thanks

    Hi and apologies - it's been quite a year.

    I gave birth to a baby boy on Dec. 29, 2012. He is healthy and vibrant, and all smiles and laughter.

    I registered on the Donor Sibling Registry. You may want to join the Fairfax family forum for donor 2984 for additional information.

    There are several families with children already, all apparently healthy. Many boys.

    How are you doing and let me know if I can be of any help
