Have tried once so far with this donor.. hoping to try again in January. Even though it was the first attempt, it was still very emotional to find out I wasn't pregnant. My wife and I are keeping high hopes and hoping the second try is a charm! Has anyone used this donor before?

    Hi ashciav,

    Did you have any success with this donor? Any information you can share would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey ladies! I know this thread is old...but in case anybody happens to check back...

    My wife and I are currently 10.5 weeks pregnant with this donor! It was our 4th IUI cycle, and 3rd with this donor....

    Anxious to hear if either of you ever got your BFP with him?!

    Baby dust ladies....

    Hey ladies! I am sending baby dust to both of you!

    We ended up having a little girl, born 12/29/15. She is absolutely perfect in every way....and absolutely beautiful! Our due date wasn't until 3/15...but at 24 weeks I developed preeclampsia. I was put on bed rest the beginning of December and then hospitalized 12/23...I went on to develop severe preeclampsia and had an emergency c section on 12/29. Our daughter spent 54 days in the NICU as a feeder/grower. She did amazing and has been home almost 3 weeks now and is doing GREAT. She is such an amazing lil girl. Did I mention how beautiful she is!?

    Please keep me updated on your progress...I would love to follow your journey. 12656 makes beautiful babies!

    Wally,

    That is so amazing! I am so happy for you guys! I will absolutely keep you posted. Your journey gives my wife and I hope! This is our first IUI, and our first attempt at conceiving. I am actually having to use Clomid to ovulate, but I responded nicely. Our IUI was 3/6/16, so I am 8dpiui... We are very anxious and have found the tww to be very difficult! Haha Do you mind telling me if your had any symptoms during your tww? As of now, I don't feel anything and have read that is quite normal. It is awesome to hear that 12656 make cute babies too!!! My wife and I are excited! Thanks for the update and congratulations to you both!

    Hey Rozzi Family!

    Thank you so much....we are blessed. Our little girl is amazing.

    You are almost through your TWW! The wait is such an emotional rollercoaster. I would search every cycle for symptoms...to let me know this worked! My BFP cycle I had no symptoms...no implantion bleeding...I actually thought for sure AF was ready to rear her ugly head. Then after getting our BFP, I had some minor cramping off and on for a week or so. The cycle we got our positive was the only cycle we tested at home. We got our BFP 12dpiui. Do you ladies plan on testing at home? How are you feeling...any symptoms you notice?

    Sending you lots of baby dust...and of course hugs! Please keep us updated!!!!

    Oh...and have faith! This process DOES work. It is full of so many ups and downs..but the process is so worth it.
    We too conceived using Clomid and Pregnyl trigget shot. Did you do 1 or 2 IUI this cycle? Normally we did 2..but the month we got pregnant we only did 1.

    I am dying to hear you got your BFP!

    Hi Wally!

    Thank you for all of the support! We really appreciate it! Our doctor actually scheduled our HCG beta for Friday!!! I broke down and tested, but got a BFN today. Do you think 12dpiui is too early to do an HCG beta? In regards to symptoms, last night I started having af cramps and they have continued pretty much all day. I am not due for af until next Wednesday. Also, I NEVER have sore bbs before AF. LIKE NEVER!!!! For some reason I am having random shooting pains in my bbs. They come and go. Other than that, I have no other symptoms. We only did 1 this cycle, as we wanted to save our vials in case more cycles were needed. Tomorrow is 11dpiui so I know that it is still kind of early. You are so right when you say this is an emotional rollercoaster. I really wasn't expecting to be this crazy about symptoms. I Google EVERYTHING! And the tww is dreadfully long! It is so nice to talk to somebody that understands and actually has a little miracle to show for it! Do you remember what your final motile sperm number was with 12656? How many follies did you have? I had one at 20 and potentially one more, but not likely. Our motile sperm count was 13 mil post wash... Thanks again for all of the support and information :) Hugs to you and the family!!!!

    Rozzis!

    Well if you ask me, your symptoms sound positive! Especially if AF isn't due until next Wednesday! I don't think that a BETA 12dpiui is too early. Don't be discouraged that your POAS was negative yesterday...I think 10dpiui is early for it to register that way. My line was pretty faint the morning of 12dpiui...it got darker from there. I think 1 IUI per cycle is the way to go. Our Dr. Wanted us to do 2 because it ups the chances...but like I said the month we got our BFP we only did 1.
    The month we got pregnant, I had 2 mature follies..one at 20 and one at 22. They thought there could be a,third....but it wasn't too likely. All it takes is 1 though!
    We bought ICI vials, instead of IUI, as our Dr. Preferred this...She said they typically got a better sample this way. I guess there are different types of washes, and the wash they perform weeds out the highest amount of 'bad swimmers'. Who knew all of this was so complex lol. So...in the end, we had 8.1 million swimmers for our BFP cycle. The 1 that made it...our lil Aubree...is absolutely perfect!
    Did you buy any of the extended information for the donor? If not, and you girls would like, I would be happy to send your way!
    I have my fingers crossed for you ladies! Stay positive!

    Hugs and baby dust,

    Hi Wally,

    You guys are so sweet! We actually purchased most of the extra items to be sure he was a good fit for us. Thank you so much for the kind offer! I had my HCG test and I am out this month :,(. Trying to keep my head up, as it was only our first try. The doctor is going to put me on Femara and some type of injection. Just waiting for AF to show so that we can try again! Thanks again for all of the support! Hope the family is well!

    Hugs,
    The Rozzi's

    Hi everyone. . .This has been the longest 2 week wait ever!!! We are excited to say this morning we took a otc urine test and it came back positive so we went into the office and had labs drawn. . . Just got the phone call that the labs show positive and Kim's level is 217 and they say that it is normal and we have to go back on Friday to recheck her levels and make sure they are increasing. We are still super nervous because we aren't sure what "normal" levels are. Does anyone have any information that can help. Thank you so much Wally030306 for the baby dust and love!! We are so super excited!!!
