    Wishful thinker yes I actually bought some iui vials yesterday I have been waiting for his vials to be available because he had already sold out. If everything goes well I should be using him next month.

    Do you have any concerns with his age being at the higher end karina86? My doctor recommends I use someone younger.

    I ask my doctor and she said he was fine that his health was more important than his age but I should see next month when I give it my first try

    I also had called California cryobank because I had some question about his medical record and they told me people who have used him have become pregnant and it was a healthy pregnancy

    Do you mind me asking what concerned you about his medical record?

    His family cancer

    I felt a little concerned about that as well, but since he’s an older donor the chances of more medical issues being reported in his family is more likely. A 20-year-old Donor reporting his family‘s medical history would have less to report. That’s at least how I’m justifying it.

    Yes and the assured me it should be fine since his parents cancers are very common and treatable

    I hesitated because I was nervous about his age. The next day he had already sold out so it was too late regardless. If he becomes available again I might just pull the trigger because there’s no one else that’s available that I’m interested in. Did you use him?

    Yes I did use him but now don’t have any other vials. On the 2ww now 😊

    I used him but didn’t have a successful iui. His sperm count is very good my doctor said he had a 200 million sperm count. Can’t wait for his next available vials to try for my second iui

    I thought they said he may have more released in September. Did you get any other information from the bank?

  • Options
    Karina86Karina86 Posts: 24

    Yes he will have more September they put me on the waiting list and I’ll get notified once his sperm becomes available because last time it sold out fast

    Hi calil I was wondering if you had a successful pregnancy?

  • Options
    wishful thinkerwishful thinker Posts: 20

    I hesitated too long worrying about his age and he sold out. I think my doctors hesitation really scared me. I ended up choosing someone else.
