4031 adult photos?

AmirasmommyAmirasmommy Senior Member Senior Member
Anyone seen them? Ive read a lot of good stuff about this donor and I really like his childhood photo but not the silhouette as much. He's on my LONG list of favs and I'm just in the early stages of the selection process but any input would be appreciated. TIA!

    Hi! I am currently struggling with deciding between two donors...one of them being 4031. His silhouette has thrown me off, too. Please let me know if you find out any information. I've thrown a posting out there already asking for information on him and my first choice: 2974
  • AmirasmommyAmirasmommy Senior Member Senior Member
    I hope someone posts something here. I'm going to buy the lifetime photos of my top 3-5 but I still have about 20 on my list so I'm far from that. If you find anything out please let me know.

    Dear all,

    I am 8 weeks 2days pregnant with donor 4031. He doesn't have lifetime picture available and I don't know why. I liked his interview and if you look with details into him physical profile everything looks like perfect (eyes, ears, lips, etc...) I have the silhouette too and it is hard to imagine a face in there. Overall they describe him as adorable and his skin and face features seems to be really good.
    Overall what I think count the most is that this donor has very very high sperm count and motility close to fresh sperm, and for me that is also an opened ID. I got pregnant with my first clomid cycle. Now my baby is growing despite my sickness...click on the ticker below to see the progression of the fetus.

    If you guys please know more information about this donor, please post!
    Thank you,

    This is what I can say about lifetime photos...... they don't always show what you want. For me I had an idea in my head that did not match what was on the paper and after I got them I kinda wish I hadn't. Here's why, All the other info about the donor was what I was looking for but his photo was not as cute as I had imagined. That is not to say that he was ugly, he just reminded me of an old friend that I would rather him not look like. I started to second guess my choice. Before getting the lifetime photos I had felt kind of a "connection" with the donor and truly felt that I was making the right decision. I did not like the secong guessing due to a photo because his photo is not a picture of the baby I will one day have. So for me the photo did not help the decision it made it a little harder. I did go with the donor due to his medical background his likes and dislikes and all the other info that I felt was right. I have not been able to use him yet due to issues on my end but am hoping that next month will be my month!

    Are you talking about donor 4031 or just adult photos in general?
  • manda210manda210 Member Member
    She is talking about lifetime photos in general...4031 doesn't have lifetime photos available
  • robinrobin Senior Member Senior Member
    I was talking lifetime photos in general. just my opinion and second guessing that I had. good luck in this process it can be overwhelming. I had a party to help pick the donor. I narrowed the search down to like 6 then I had 10 friends and family come over. We all sat down and looked and medical history, listened to the interviews and looked at pics. i had poster board all over the living room and we listed the positive and negatives. My friends and family had question I never thought of and we had a great time! We narrowed it down to 2, actually my friends and family narrowed it down to the same 2 I had really been considering. then we voted! obviously I had the final say but they were a greta input and I went with their choice. unfortuanately the 2 cycles with this donor did not work and then he ran out of vials but it was a great time and help get my family and friends involved in the babys life before they even got here. i have photos that I plan top put in the baby book to share with my baby how excited everyone was for them to get here and how everyone helped me decide!

    It was just a fun way to think about things. If I hadn't agreed with their decision I would have went with my choice but we all agreed!

    Good Luck!

    Robin,
    I think I read a post from you about this party somewhere else. I think it's a great idea! I love it and am considering doing it to! One problem I'll have is getting everyone in the same room at the same time. There may be some Skype-ing going on...lol! Thanks for the idea!

    I called the Fairfax Cryobank the other day and they said that Donor 4031 did not participate to the adult lifetime program, therefore he did not allow any of his adult picture to be available. They don't know why I guess personal issues.
    Overall I think Donor 4031 is really cool, attractive based on his physical details personal information and his interview was really a great one.
    I liked him from beginning, and he is also very intelligent and has a great personality.

    I will share photos of my baby when he/she will come out sometime at the beginning of March!

    All the best to everyone,

    We are currently using 2974 and are on our second try!! Just wondering if you ended up choosing this donor and if you have had any luck?!
  • AmirasmommyAmirasmommy Senior Member Senior Member
    No I went with 4120. I'm still waiting for AF to start my first IUI cycle.
  • DJ3196DJ3196 Junior Member Junior Member
    And I went with 4031...first time didn't take but plan to try again. My doctor really likes this donor. His numbers are really good!
  • roby72roby72 Member Member
    Yes I agree, number of this donor have been always fantastic! I am now close to 15 weeks pregnant with 4031 and I am having a healthy baby girl!

    Keep me posted DJ3196 with your progress. I love this donor, it took me 4 tries in total.
