    Hi! We replied to the private forum, too. We have a wonderful 6 month old baby boy by donor 2994. It was Shannon's 2nd time to get inseminated, but the first time with this donor, and it worked! We would love to hear updates and tell you about our little guy.

    Kristina and Shannon

    Hi ehrmanna,

    I'm sorry to hear about the D&C. The positive takeaway is knowing that your body can achieve pregnancy. That said, I pray your recent IUI was successful. Please keep us posted. Wishing you nothing but the best!

    Take care!

    Well, my re specifically told me to wait 17 days to POAS. It seems to be a longer 2ww than anyone else has been given. I couldn't resist and tested last night (14 dpo) and it was neg. I told friends and fam this was the practice run since the chances of 1st time success are so low, but it's still disappointing after 5 follies, all good and mature. I'm testing again in 3 days just so I can call the dr and tell him, but I'm not expecting a different result. Then the fun starts...gotta take the progesterone to get AF starting again so I can reset the clock (AF doesn't come on her own usually.) I have 2 more vials of this donor, so I'm hoping one of those gives me the bfp I'm hoping for -- just needed to unload a little tonight. Baby dust to all and to all a good night. :)

    Hi DLP,

    I and I'm certain most of us understand the disappointment that comes along with a negative test. However, please be comforted in knowing that there is still hope! It can and it will happen just keep positive = easier said than done believe me, I know. Cheers to round two! Keep us posted and take care!

    Thanks Emily!
    My Dr had me laughing on the phone today... he said, "I'm so sorry to hear you got your period." That's exactly how the convo started after I left a message with his nurse and he called me back. The good news is that I thought I would get the bfn and have to start the progesterone again to bring on AF, therefore making me wait another 10-15 days before the clock is reset and I start round 2. But AF came on her own, so now try 2 will only be about 2 weeks away, I can't really complain about that!
    Thank you guys for the support!

    Hi guys,

    Just wanted to give an update... attempt # 3 was a bust, and was also the last vial I had of 2994. Since his profile has been removed, I have to find another donor. Thank you for all the well wishes. Finding another donor isn't as fun as I'd hoped!
  • ehrmannaehrmanna Junior Member Junior Member
    5th times the charm -- After 4 IUIS, 1 non-viable pregnancy, and 1 IVF, I am now 8 weeks prego with #2994. Just saw heartbeat. Keeping fingers crossed that everything goes well from here!!!

    Hi Emily,

    How can I contact you?
