Hi,

We know that there are no reported pregnancies for donor 13957 at this point, but we are wondering how many vials of him have been purchased. This will help us ascertain whether to go forward with this donor.

Thank you,
Jeanine & Jamie McD.

    Hi J&J -

    Donor 13957 became available in Dec 2014, but hasn't sold many vials. He's a very good-looking guy with a great smile and notable academic and athletic achievements, but I'm guessing that he doesn't appear in many clients' search results due to his unique ethnic background.

    If he's your top choice, there's no need to be worried. All of our donors are capable of achieving pregnancy. We have a stringent screening process and less than 1% of applicants actually become CCB donors. You can learn more about our screening process from this short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NurCUuZaa1c

    Please also keep mind that another client's pregnancy or lack thereof, has no bearing on your personal chance of success. Maternal age, type of insemination, cycle timing, and use of fertility drugs are just a few of the major factors involved in pregnancy outcome.

    Best of luck!

    Regards,

    We did two 1 vial cycles with this donor and had fantastic numbers each time, but no pregancy with him yet. We are moving on to ivf in the spring and will be mostly likely using him due to his unique ethnic combo that matches exactly the non-carrying one of us. Good luck to all!

    Our 2nd iui is Monday with this donor. Hopefully it is a positive this time.

    We are having our 7th IUI on Thursday (1st with this donor). Fingers crossed that THIS is the one...

    Hello all, we just purchased this donor and our IUI is scheduled for next week. We have 2 children already (5 and 1) so this will be baby #3. We had an IUI last month with our daughter's donor with no success.

    79chevy or Firstmetxmoms: Were you guys successful?

    And AGA1212 : Congrats to you!!

    Anyone feel free to email me at sports_fan38901@yahoo.com

    Hi everyone,

    So great to read these posts about all your pursuits w/donor 13957. I'm 44 now, in the last year, we did one IUI and two rounds of IVF. None of these were successful for us which is not that surprising for my age. Next month, in June, we will do an egg donor cycle. She's 21 years old and an incredible match for us. So, the odds are going up. We're aiming for a beautiful, healthy baby to arrive in March of 2017.

    Congrats to First time Texas Moms, AGA 1212 + any others who have been and will be successful w/Shakespeare.

    Ms4511: I just emailed you too!

    I'm at taraphillips007@gmail.com if anyone wants to reach out directly to exchange more info. :)

    Hi All,

    I'm now 8 weeks pregnant with a baby girl from Donor 13957. She's due March 20th, 2018, which also happens to be my birthday. :)

    We'll also be on the CA sibling registry once she's born!
