we have used both of these donors for IUIs, all which were unsuccessful, and are moving on to IVF. 4066 still has no pregnancies reported. anyone use either donor and have success stories to share?

    I'm getting ready to use 4066 for an IVF try. I'm hoping it works! I'll check back in in December and let you know. :) I figure, he's pretty new, so the chances that someone has gotten pregnant and reported it already are pretty slim.

    Good luck!

    I used a vial of 4066 for IVF in November. It "worked" in that I had two good embryos, and at least one stuck for long enough that I got a positive beta. But then it was over. I don't think this had anything to do with 4066!! I'm older and I was using my own eggs.

    Hopefully someone will post something new about him, because I have a second vial left, and was hoping to use him for IVF try #2.

    That is great! We are new to this and have settled on trying 4417. We were told that 4417 has 10-15 pregnancies reported. You had a pregnancy in 01/14? Did that happen with him on the first try? Was it with IUI? Did you do clomid? Any thing you can share with us? Thanks!
  • ahaydenahayden Member Member
    Hi AnKGordon14...I see that you had a successful pregnancy with 4417. We are in our 2WW period. What was your experience with that donor? We were told that his numbers for us were only 7 Mil and 34% motility. We did clomid for the IUI, and am starting to have symptoms but some are just like those before my period comes. Really wanting to hear some success stories of others that were successful with this donor. Thanks for your imput.

    Pastoralan sorry it took so long to get back. We are bad at checking this. We got pregnant on the 2nd try with donor 4417. We had a baby boy on 1/20/2014. We have gotten in contact with 2 other people that have had successful pregnancies with this donor as well. Did you have any luck?
  • AnKGordon14AnKGordon14 Junior Member Junior Member
    Hi ahayden! We were successful on the 2nd try using donor 4417 with IUI. My wife also did clomid with the IUI. Our son was born on 1/20/14. We have also gotten in touch with 2 other people that have had successful pregnancies with this donor. Please feel free to write us on our personal email aandkgordon89@gmail.com. We check that more often than here.
  • ahaydenahayden Member Member
    We are currently waiting. Ending our 2WW. We have to take a test on Sunday or Monday. We are just hoping that it worked. I will email you if that is ok. Maybe you can help with some of our other questions! Thanks!

    I'm going to be trying with embryos made with 4066 again this summer. Donor eggs this time. I'll let you know, but I'm excited to see someone has a baby from him! I saw that it had been updated to "yes" under his pregnancies. If it works, we may have to chat!!
