Hello ALL!
My partner, J (30) and I (36) will be starting a dual stim IVF cycle this month, approximately in 13 & 15 days respectively with the start of our next menses! :shock: :eek:
We are located in CT, moved not too long ago from the MD area. I have dx female infert, as does she, we are utilizing a clinic in Albany, NY.
We are very excited, scared, nervous, blah blah blah regarding this whole endeavor!
We are using donor 4183, as he resembles my partner's brother. I will be carrying, and we hope to retrieve, fertilize, and transfer back, 2 of hers and 1 of mine.
Looking forward to hearing from you all!

We used donor 2474. We chose this donor because he resembles my girlfriend.
My wife (T, 30 yo) and I (W, 33) are from NYC and will be hoping to start our TTC journey in the next 9 months. I have been diagnosed with PCOS and to make this whole process better / and to give us the greatest chance of success with the least amount of tries (*fingers crossed*) I am on the way to losing some weight and getting healthier (so far 37 lbs down yay!). But we got super motivated about 1 month ago when we actually agreed on a donor... we are currently waitlisted for our donors specimens... so either way we will keep doing what we are doing in hopes of starting our newest and most anticipated journey in a few months.
We chose him because of his multiracial background and he holds some resemblances of me and my partner (go figure) as we both do want to carry and, hopefully, use the same donor.
My partner and I have a beautiful 13 month old son using donor 2984. We live in Northern NJ, close to Rutherford. We are the first of all our same sex couple friends to have children and we would love to meet other same sex mommies and daddies!
My wife and I are from Alberta. I'm going on 34 this month, she's 32.
We are looking for a donor that resembles my wifes brother as they share the same features, plus we were able to get better results using his picture then hers. We had found a donor that looked exactly like her when she was a baby, but the donor was no longer active. So we are once again on the search for a donor.
We are going to be trying IUI and I'm going to carry. I know I'm older, but I'm the one who wants to carry, so that's the plan. If for some reason I can not, she will.
I'm doing IUI w/ donor 4254. The first try didn't work, now preparing for 2nd round. How's the pregnancy going?
My wife and I have been trying to conceive for over a year now. We tried at home 3 times and have done 5 unsuccessful IUI's. We will be doing our first IVF cycle in a few weeks. Not sure how many more times I can handle getting that BFN. WE recently moved to PA from MD, but we still see the same Dr.
Crossing our fingers that this one works!!! Has anyone tried acupuncture??? Thoughts??

Where in MD do you live, we are in Southern MD and my wife and I have just begun our process.
We are going to be doing reciprocal IVF, one is the bio-mom the other birth-mom.
Any advice on how you two choose a donor!?
We hope to be pregnant in the next couple months!

We are thinking of using this donor, did you end up getting pregnant? healthy? boy or girl?
Thank you!
Btw we are in Los Angeles!
We just recently moved to Maryland from Riverside County! We are waiting for my wife's test results (she is donating) and then they will put us on a calender to sync our cycles so we are still waiting to even start medications.
Any tips on how to do the injections?
Are you going to be the carrier? Will you have to take progesterone for several weeks?
Hope everything is well!
