After starting my journey in June of 2007,1 ICI, 4 IUI's, 4 IVF's, many unsuccessful attempts I faced but didn't give up. I knew then it was time to get a helper. Finally, I am expecting twins June 2011 through a surrogate and I am delighted that the donor is 11444. I'm excited beyond belief!!! It has truly been a long road....and belief it or not my first 9 attempts were using a different donor. A week before the process I decided to switch my donor to 11444. Very excited.
Follow your dreams, all things are possible! XOXO
I only did one.I decided to try again I will let you know.
Good luck to you all. Will keep you updated.
I was wondering if anyone wanted to share their reasons for choosing this donor. I personally chose this donor because of his baby picture (he is so dang cute!) and because I think that ethnically mixed children tend to be the most beautiful and the healthiest. I also like that this donor has a passion for Chinese. I like in his profile that a lot of people warned him off studying Chinese, but he did it anyway, and he excelled at it. This shows an admiral stubborness that I can relate to. I also have a passion for languages, so that, coupled with his health and his ethnicity compelled me to choose him.
I did 5 IUI's last year all BFN and the only time I I have used this donor was my very first IUI it w was non medicated. WE tried 2more with a different donor from here then 2more with a different donor from Cryojenics labs and still had no luck. So that is why we went to IVF.
I'm happy to report that with the 6th attempt with donor 11444, I am pregnant! I found out on Wedesday. I went for a blood test to make sure. My doctor was a little concerned with the low HCG level (34), so they sent me back for another blood test today. This one was 67, so it pretty much doubled, which is what they were looking for. They said it is still a little low, but we'll just have to keep an eye on it. Think positive thoughts!
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but right after the insemination, I had an orgasm (in private of course). I took my vibe with me in the hopes that the orgasm would help move the sperm up into the tubes---seemed to work!
Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I was rooting for you to have a full term pregnancy.
In the past few months I have read so many threads on CCB bulletin. Many women going through this process have had miscarriages. It's really the worse thing when you have tried so hard to conceive and was looking forward to motherhood.
I hope that time will heal the emotional pains you are going through now. Take care of your body so you can try again soon.
Thanks for the condolences. I am truly looking forward to trying again. My doctor told me that I should wait one cycle before trying, and I just started my period yesterday, so I will be able to get an insemination in two weeks (yay!). I'm crossing my fingers that it will take again. I read in a few different places that women actually seem to be more fertile after miscarriage, so I'm staying as positive about this as possible.
As for reasons, my doctor thinks it was just one of those things. I've read that as many as one in five pregnancies end in miscarriage. It usually has to do with chromosomal abnormalities, and there is nothing you can do to prevent the miscarriage. He doesn't think it had anything to do with me. Yes, I was on progesterone. I am going to continue with the clomid and progesterone.
Please keep your fingers crossed for me! I cannot wait to be pregnant again.
