Can you tell me how many reported pregnancies / births donor 12235 has? Seems like his vials went fast. Wondering why he's so popular?

    Hi Riley and Tommie -

    Donor 12235 has more than 5 reported pregnancies. He still has IUI vials avaiable for purchase and ICI vials in quarantine (due for release in May).

    Why is he popular? 6', watery blue eyes, cute baby photo, interesting Express Yourself and Essay, popular Look-a-Likes, adores and respects his mother. What's not to like?

    Regards,

    Scott

    Could/ you tell me if there were any actual succesful births with this donor, and if they were male or female? Thanks!

    Hi KNC -

    I'm sorry, but we do not share birth reports as they tend to be very misleading. Many clients remember to report their pregnancy, but forget/opt not to report the actual birth of their child.

    As a side note, this is a fairly new donor, so there hasn't been much time for actual births to occur. It generally takes a minimum of a year and closer to 18 months from a donors first release for birth reports to start coming in.

    Regards,

    Good luck KNC. I haven't been successful with 12235 yet, but his numbers are great. I know two others ladies using this donor as well. One is in her TWW right now and one is doing IVF in Aug. I am getting ready to do a home insemination with this donor. I have had 8 unsucessful IUI's at my doctor's clinic and 1 successful one but miscarried. Keep in touch with me if you are successful with 12235! My e-mail is: amandayjones@sbcglobal.net

    Good luck to you!

    Hi All -

    I'm sorry for your frustration, but this donor has more than 5 reported pregnancies and is 100% capable of contributing to a successful pregnancy.

    Getting pregnant later in life is not as easy as they made it sound back in Jr. High sex ed class. Statistically speaking, it just takes time. It has certainly happened for other women using 12235, so if everything else is in order, you may be next.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Amanda, I just switched donors due to his being retired adn 3 unsuccesful IUI attempts- but I am 43, so I am assuming that this is the problem! I switched to 12492, also CMV negative- if that helps... at end of TWW now to see what happened, should know by the 28th or so). :)K
