I am interested in this donor but have been unable to find any information, good or bad about him. He has no reported pregnancies. Is this because he is not chosen a lot or are there a lot of failed attempts?

    I think he's new...

    He's one of my favorites too.

    Did you see his childhood picture on the donor favorites page? He was adorable.

    Sorry, meant to say donor of the month page.

    Yes...super cute! I'm looking for blonde hair and blue eyes...it says his hair is dark blonde but it's almost brown so not sure if I'll pick him or not. His baby picture is beautiful too on his full access. He's so dang adorable...I can't stand it.

    I agree. I picked him and placed my order tonight. He does have a lot of brown hair in his family so it may not be what you are looking for if you want a blond. I am open to either hair color.

    Yeah. I have brown hair but my daughter from a previous marriage is a blond. Our immediate family is all brunettes and I don't want her to look or feel out of place. S I'm trying for blond even though I know there are no guarantees with genetics.

    I hope you find the donor you want, though I wouldn't worry to much about your daughter feeling left out. My parents and brother all have dark hair and I have always been light brown to blond. I didn't put much thought into it until I was older. Turns out I have a grandparent w/ light hair. As long as she is not treated differently, her hair color shouldn't make a difference. Good luck to you!!

    Hi All -

    Nothing to worry about. 12503 has only been available since the end of April. It generally takes 6-9 monoths for pregnancy reports to start coming in on a new donor.

    Maybe one of you can be the first to report!

    Good luck,

    Scott

    any successes to report yet?

    Hi -

    Not yet. It has been less than 5 months since his first vial release. As I mentioned above, it generally takes 6-9 months for pregnancy reports to start coming in to us.

    Regards,

    Hi has any one become pregnant with donor 12503?
  • Hunting for babyHunting for baby Posts: 26
    I did not get pregnant with this donor and he sold out so I had to switch. He was definetly my favorite though!

    Hi hunting for baby, how many iui or ici did you do with this donor. He is supposed to get more vials in January, every once in a while 1 or 2 vials becomes available I just keep on calling and checking. I'm on my 4th IUI with this donor. Did you get pregnant with another donor?

    Do you know of anyone else using this donor that has become pregnant?
  • kmetzkmetz Posts: 12
    6 iuis. All BFNs. Frustrating.
  • jaailujaailu Posts: 155
    Hi All, it's been awhile since this post has had any responses. He is a retired donor now but has anyone had any luck with this donor?
  • cryo-admincryo-admin Posts: 4,542
    Hi Jaailu -

    Just an update, Donor 12503 has 5 or more reported pregnancies now.

    Regards,
