I am really concerned about this donor....I am currently in my TWW with this donor and now just read this below...I have used this donor twice...and if this is really the problem with the donor, can we get a refund? I have spent thousands of dollars and just really disappointed.

Hey ladies,

Just wanted to let you know we were able to fertilize 16 eggs, 11 made it to blastocyst stage. Of those 11, 5 had abnormalities that were incompatible with life. 2 embryos were transferred and 4 frozen. I have taken several hpt, all of which are negative :-(. I go tomorrow for a blood test but things do not look good. The embryologist said that the sperm had "small heads" which is associated with poor fertilization and poor embryos. Interesting.... It is also, very interesting that I have lost two babies, sweetpea has lost one and no one else has had success. We will do frozen embryo transfers until these guys are gone and then we will switch donors. I hate that I am going to have to go through all this again with potentially poor embryos because the sperm seem to be abnormal. It has been such a long road and I am so sad and mad as well as financially broke! Anyways....thanks for letting me vent. If I were you ladies, I would switch donors and ask for a refund.
