I'm very happy for you! How exciting!! Do you know what you're having?
I just had my 2nd IUI with 2964 and am on the 2ww. I so hope it works this time!
Keep me posted and good luck!
How exciting that you're getting ready to start your journey! We just had our 3rd IUI with 2964 and our on our 2ww. We are very hopeful this time.
I didn't realize 2964 had such height in his immediate family. Maybe we'll have a couple of basketball players! Good luck to you!
Hi Patti,
Sorry I've taken so long to reply. Have been going through a whirlwind of fertility stuff. To answer your question: For each donor, there are options you can order...one of these options is the personal profile. It has many details of physical characteristics, careers, etc. of the donor, and his family. You can also hear an audio interview (about 30 min. long) with the donors. I joined "club fairfax" where you pay a flat fee, and you have access to all, except for lifetime photos of course, which are $80!!! I found joining beneficial since I wanted as much detail as I could, even though I spent a lot of $. I found out three weeks ago that I am pregnant after my first IUI, and 2964 is the donor.
Did you make a decision? Good luck!
I just gave birth trome son a month ago using 2964. Did you have any luck? I am interested if anyone has seen the donors lifetime photo.
I have seen his lifetime photos. He is not bad looking, was cute as a kid and then went through an awkward stage but didn't we all. I have a little boy by this donor born January of this year. Good luck to everyone trying!!! I also became pregnant after only one IUI. He apparently has great sperm quality!!!
Everybody keeps telling me how long and impossible it will be st my age. I'm single and going it alone. Did you do drugs! Whet tests did your doctor do before you started???
Thank you
If its to personnel to post u can innocent me

I'm not sure if this was directed at me or not but I will answer. I am also doing this alone. I did get pregnant on my first IUI. I used femara and ovidrel as well. I was 37 when I got pregnant and 38 at delivery. Test wise all the routine blood work, hormones etc... Also a HSG to check my ovaries.
I have a high fsh number and amh number so acording to them I have a snowballs chance in hell.
you can PM me if you have any questions.
Baby dust!

Have you considered IVF rather than IUI. With high numbers and even your doctor telling you it is unlikely, why waste the time? I did 11 IUIs and finally got pregnant on my 2nd IVF. I'm 40, will be 41 at delivery in March 2013 and had perfect numbers.
I totally agree with Anne's advice to skip the IUI route. Many of us that had excellent bloodwork didn't have success until we tried more the approach with a higher success rate...IVF. I'm not saying that IVF is guaranteed because it also can fail but there may be leftover embryos to use for a frozen transfer. The woman that posted her success on her first IUI was THIRTY-SEVEN and fast forward 7 years to your age of 44 and there's a world of difference in fertility especially with your bloodwork numbers. I had my first IUI at 40 years old and used medications to be aggressive but even after very good responses to medications all 7 IUI's didn't work. This was even with so-called "ovaries of a 20 something year old" (doctors words not mine). So try to save up your money, because you don't have time to waste on something that has a low success rate for woman over 40 (less than 15%)
Not to sound harsh but it's something that we've all experienced and feel like we have a clearer view looking from the outside in. Hindsight seems to be crystal clear. Of course only you can do what's right for your and your situation. Just be informed about the process and be an informed consumer. I hope that you have success on this challenging journey. Good luck and be well...
Did you use donor 2964 if so did you have a boy or girl . My partner and I have two boys by donor 2964 and we would love to have a little girl but he seems to produce a lot of boys
