in Single Mothers by Choice
I have been looking for donor sperm for about 6 months. Finally, I decided/bought 3 vials of donor # 12419. I started clomid yesterday. Will get shot on the 18th, then 1st IUI will be November 20th! I am so excited. Does anyone know anything else about #12419.
I am 35 years old and have 2 children (adopted). I never really thought I might have a biological child, but with my age, I feel it is now or never.

    Congratualtions!

    I am currently pregnant using donor #12419

    I have a gorgeous son with a now retired donor, (pregnant first IUI) and this donor was a close match! My doctor said that the specimen was one the best she had ever seen - very impressive!

    Best of luck to you!

    congrats to you merideth ! and i can only imagine your excitement Cynnie :) ..I'm excited in my decision to go this route and so happy to see all the happy people on this board :) My question is how did any of you decided on the "anonymous" option for a donor, i was thinking of going the "open" route i guess in case the child would like to know at 18 or so who the donor is..what is your take on that?.. I'm open to others more experienced then me on this, take on that aspect :)

    many blessing to everyone! :)

    I picked 12419 because I liked the profile the best. I didn't care that it was anonymous because I have the childhood photos of him. And it was $100 cheaper for anonymous. I really like that he had a musical side, didn't have brown eyes, and was tall.

    i'm considering this donor too.
    for those that have the childhood photos ... is his hair real curly or just wavy ? is it more dark brown or lighter ? does he wear glasses ?
    i have a hard time with the look alike pictures since the two look alikes don't really look alike!

    thanks for any additional info on this donor.

    i finally ordered 12419 and picked it up today.
    the IUI sample has 58mil total count with 43% motility .... this seems a little low on motility but he has more than 5 reported pregnancies. I wonder if the pregnancies are from the IUI samples or the ICI samples ?
    good luck, it looks like we are on the same schedule.

    I got a positive HPT today. I will call the doctor on Monday. My doctor had said that I would be pregnant by Dec. 8th or have my period. Well, my period never came but my hpt on the 8th said negative. I am very cautiously optimistic and excited.

    Cynnie - how do the childhood photos look?
  • CynnieCynnie Posts: 5
    Three pictures are included. One of him probably 9 months old. And in the other two pictures, he is probably 8 or 9 years old. He is very cute. Thick brown hair. Curly in the baby photo. Slightly curly in the other pictures.
