    Hi teebee818, are you pregnant from 14001? Any other pregnancies reported?
  • teebee818teebee818 Posts: 2
    Hello, I am 99% sure I am currently pregnant from this donor. I can let you know for certain in 6 days!

    Anyone have issues with 14001? I've been told 3 times motility is extremely low.
  • EmergeButterflyEmergeButterfly Posts: 19
    I chose him and purchased his last 5 vials (2 ICI, 3 IUI). Hopefully it's enough! From what I was reading it sounds like reported motility just after the thaw may not be the whole story as more sperm will "wake up" after insemination (per the website's info on quality standards).

    CCB told me this donor has "more than 5" pregnancies so it worked for those women :)

    Best wishes to you!!

    Update: I will find out in the next week if pregnant by 14001. Anyone else pregnant or have a child by this donor? Would love to connect!

    We have used four of the five vials we purchased so far. Of the four, two have been concerning low in motility-- 2 million and 4 million. We have not yet become pregnant using this donor. All our vials were frozen on the same day. Each vial is only a fraction of a single ejaculate.

    Oh wow...sorry to hear this :(

    Did you ask for a refund? I don't think that meets CCB quality standards.
  • SpadixiaSpadixia Posts: 3
    We got a refund on one and the second low count was just two weeks ago so we are in the process of asking for a refund on that one. The shock to us was that each vial is not a full ejaculate. We always just assumed that's what we were getting. I spoke with California cryobank today and they said that each ejaculate is separated into (usually) 3-4 vials. Some more, some fewer of course. I wish we had known before because we would've likely done a double insemination with the low counts!

    I've used this donor twice now. Asked both times about the quality and the dr said it was fine but didn't give me numbers. I'll find out if I'm pregnant next week.

    Chiefsfan-
    I'm not pregnant :( I'm unsure if I'm still going to use this donor moving forward.

    Any news yet for you?
  • ChiefsfanChiefsfan Posts: 4
    Just found out I'm not either. :(. checked with the clinic again... they just said that they wouldn't have used it if they didn't think it was acceptable. We are going to try this donor again this month.

    Chiefsfan-
    Best wishes to you!! I hope this time it works!

    Just had beta to confirm pregnancy today and it's positive!! Good luck to those who are using this donor, 14001 worked for me.

    We used this donor and received a refund because the counts did not meet standards. Does anyone know if we can get them to refund are money or not? They only said we would get a credit? However, we are unsure we want to continuing using this bank. Please confirm. Thanks

    Thanks tinyone. Did anyone have a baby by this donor yet and what was the second of the baby?
  • jahblessjahbless Posts: 14
    Hi
    I am expecting a baby boy by this donor in October. Good luck to everyone

    I had a beautiful baby boy in June with 14001. Took four tries.
    Looking for any available vials to try for a sibling if anyone has extras they don't want. Please.

    Would love to connect with any other mothers who had a baby with this donor as well. FB Jill Bender in Illinois. Profile pic is a blonde (me) holding a baby. Contact me.
