Incompatible sperm

BabyMakes3

Just curious if anyone has been told or has read anything related to sperm incompatibility (immunologic incompatibility) and thought of switching donors or actually switched after failing to get pregnant?

I've done 5 months of unmedicated IUI with no success. I'm 34, my hormone levels are all ok, and my RE recommended considering a new donor. I've seen some mention of this elsewhere, but not too much. Anyone have a similar experience, or any luck after switching.

BabyMakes3,

Interesting info...as it turns out we had this exact conversation with our doctor. We have had 3 unsuccessful IUI attempts with 2 different donors (13294 & 13026) and the last resulted in what they call a chemical pregnancy which Kelli lost by day 5. Our doctor said it is highly possible that the chemistry between egg and sperm just don't mix. He also recommends after 3 failed tries to consider a different donor. We chose a different donor this time around and go in for our 4th try in about a week. Kelli (carry the child) has normal everything, is 31 and has never proven to not be able to carry a child. Consider a change and maybe that donor will prove to be the one :) Stay positive and know the timing is right when it needs to be.

Best of luck and lots of baby dust!
