I stay in Johannesburg, South Africa. I had IVF in New York, thus the use of a donor from the States...
Good luck... I was on the IF journey for 9 years and got lucky with 4187....
Stay in touch if you do get lucky (FX) with 4187. I have one vial available in case someone needs 1.
I am 34 years old. I did IUI.....
What is making you want to switch? Just not having luck with the other donor? How long have you tried or how many times?
I wish you luck, how old are you? What area are you from?

Thank you both for the quick responses!
I am "42" and from New York. I have tried IUI twice with no luck...so for my next cycle I will do IUI with injectables. The donor I had used no longer has availability and I also only have 1 vial left. I was also reading the blog on the donor I used and there have been a lot of concerns with the quality of the sperm; although my RE said it was really good. He has been a donor since 2010 with 5-10 reported pregnancies (per fairfax).
I believe it is the luck of the draw ... my age of course playing a huge role. I had my eye on donor 4187 in the past but there wasn't any available. When I was notified that it was available again I did put some on hold. I am going to move forward with this donor...crossing my fingers.
Awesome..... yeah i guess there are soooooo many factors. From age, weight, background, just how your body reacts in general. Yeah when i first got 4187 there was no pregnancies, now i think he has 5-10 reported and he was new last year. So i wish you luck and hope this one works out. Maybe the injectables will help too, i have no clue. I didn't use anything, but they gotta do something you would think. I'll cross my fingers too, keep us posted!
Good luck! I know one of vials i got from him the count was over the charts, my dr said she had never seen as high and it should work , then low and behold, it did!
Congrats! He must have some pretty good stuff, lol.
what area are you in?
thanks for asking.
My partner and I are interested in using Donor 4187. We really liked his profile and his baby pic - very cute! Would anyone be willing to share the adult photo if you have it? Or, provide a description?
Thanks!
He is german, had brown short hair, clean cut. Don't really look like anyone to compare to? Sorry.
