    Yes! I'm using him. Had my IUI last Wednesday. I'm on my 7th cycle but hoping for some good luck soon. This is my first cycle with this donor.

    Jennifer-I don't have his photo. I might get it if i end up pregnant though, in which case I'll email it to you.

    Anyone who wants to chat further can email me at mountain.girl82@yahoo.com

    Oh, and to address baby88, I only have his free info. If I get pregnant I will probably buy other info. I'm choosing him because he's physically close to my husband (height, weight, hair type & color). Reading through his info he seems like a down to earth guy and ambitious, which I value. He seems to be very intelligent too & also has good medical history. I think for me the 2 biggest things I look for is being physically similar to my hubby and having a decent medical history.

    Good luck to all!

    hi, bootig! Thank you for replying my post! 12182 is one of our top choices so far. Through his essay, I do believe he is a decent person. I also called cryobank to ask them about the post-thaw mobility on 12182, they will not tell me the exact number:( but they did tell me that he is a relatively new donor (started last year Oct), and that is why so far there have been less than 5 pregnancies have been reported. It would be mostly appreciated if you can post any updating. I wish you the very best luck and keep our fingers crossed!

    Best wishes!!

    If it helps, the 1 vial we used had 12 million post thaw & post processed (I think they spin it again after it thaws). RE said it looked good. Unfortunately I didn't get preg last cycle so we'll be using him again in a couple weeks.

    I just found out yesterday that I'm pregnant by this donor! Very excited! Anyone else who's pregnant by this donor and wants to keep in touch can email me at mountain.girl82@yahoo.com

    Congratulation!!! What a great news!!!! I tried with this donor last month, no luck, will do again this month. I think it was timing issue with my last IUI. Dr did IUI the same day when they detected my blood LH surged. Personally I think it should be done 24 hrs later after the blood surged. I guess the frozen sperms did not live very long (probably only 12hrs after insemination). What do you think? When did your Dr do the insemination?
    So happy for you!!!!!!!!
