Has donor 13426 had any live births?

Hello, I am about to start the process of trying to conceive with donor 13426. I purchased these vials a year and a half ago, at which time I am fairly certain his final vials were being released.

I have not been able to find confirmation of any live births for this donor, the only thing I have read is people trying to get pregnant but not having success.

At any rate, want to make sure that I am not going down the wrong path with this donor... My understanding is that donors are retired after they reach a certain number of families, so if anyone can weigh in on their experience it would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

    Hi Sea -

    Yes, Donor 13426 has reported births.

    "Retired" means that a donor is no longer providing donations and this status is not tied to reported pregnancies/births. Most donors are in our program for about a year and it's not unusual for a donor to be "retired" before his vials are even released for sale.

    Donor 13426 is currently sold out and limited for sibling use. This basically means that if we receive any buyback vials, they can only be sold to clients with reported pregnancies.

    Also, it's important to keep in mind that another client's pregnancy or lack thereof has no bearing on your chance of success. There are many variables involved like type of insemination, use of fertility drugs, maternal age, cycle monitoring, etc. It's always best to consult with your physician if you have questions about your personal chance of success.

    Best of luck!

    Hi seaashgo, 13426 is my donor too. There is at least one live birth posted here in the forum, a woman reported she had b/g twins last fall. I believe in that same thread there is another person who had a child, but I'm not positive.

    Hi seaashgo, I just saw this. I am currently 12 weeks pregnant with a boy. Hopefully things keep going well.

    Have you started trying yet?

    Just wanted to let you know I had a beautiful, healthy baby boy two weeks ago. I have also joined the sibling registry and there are several of us. It's a great group. Hope you're successful!
