Donor Success?
We are planning to try for our first trip to the bank (wink) a few months after the wedding. How many of you ladies have had good luck with it? I'm a bit nervous about our odds. we can't wait to start our family
Re: Donor Success?
Welcome!
There are quite a few pregnant ladies on here and some moms by donors - so it does work.
We have 3.5y old twin boys via annonymous donor. For us it took 9 tries (2 natural ICIs and 7 IUIs) - so it was a long process, but oh so worth it.
Good luck!
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
We got pg twice with frozen donor sperm. ( 1 mc - 1 baby) That was with injectable hormone therapy.
It is a big and suprisingly stressful choice to pick your perfect match. Have fun hunting and good luck!

We got pregnant 2 of 3 tries with frozen donor sperm. BFP #1 was a chemical pregnancy but the second BFP is due in April :-)
We were lucky enough to get pregnant with frozen donor sperm from our very first unmedicated IUI.
As far as the "odds" - it is said the average length of time to get pregnant using frozen donor sperm is 6 cycles/months. So for many, it takes less time than that, and for many it takes longer. It's all a mix of timing and sheer luck!
