Moving on....

ChellBeth

Still no BFP. Now we're moving on. We're switching donors. We've been online investigating Fairfax, mostly because they let you see a reasonable amount of info on the donors without spending $$. Has anyone had any experiences with them? Good? Bad? So-so? Getting estrogen and progesterone levels drawn Monday, I think this is more for my sanity than for our NP, who insists that even though we're still not pregnant a year after an ectopic, that there's nothing wrong with me. I saw the HSG, so I know my tubes are ok...and I've seen nice ripe follicles on ultrasound, but we all know there's more to it than that. Who knows mybe it's been a donor issue all this time? Anybody familiar with estrogen and progesterone levels? All I know is that every month, I get older, and I am still not pregnant

We have great success with FairFax Cryo so far. We are now 13th weeks! I would suggest them to anyone looking for a donor. You are able to get a great deal of information for free as well as additional information if you pay.

I'm sorry, and feel your pain. Maybe a new donor will be just the trick!!

I'm so sorry.  We are using Fairfax, and have been pleased with the customer service as well as the amount of info available online for no charge.  Good luck with this change and your tests!

I'm sorry you've had such a long road. Hopefully switching donors will help. We used Fairfax, and didn't have any complaints. We used them mostly because they are local to us (so we could pick up ourselves), but we ended up really appreciating being able to see adult photos of donors. The first donor we thought we had settled on got totally thrown out the window when we saw his adult photo and he looked nothing like S. We were ultimately able to find another donor who was a much better match.

Sorry for the lack of BFP, we used Fairfax, and switched donors twice before landing on our winner, so I know how hard that decision is. They are fast, have a lot of info, and great for reporting a pregnancy, which you will do!

just my two cents but based on the above sounds like just a timing issue.  Frozen sperm does not last as long as fresh. We went through something similar did 5 IUI's and no BFP. We were about to switch donors and then we found a IVF trial. Not sure if you are interested in IVF but check with local fertility clinics in your are and see if you qualify for any IVF trials they have.  Its usually somewhat discounted. we were so scared of IVF but like you said another month another month older and we just realized that all the money we spent on IUI we could already been preggo or had fertilized eggs.

We switched Re's and kept our donor an ta da now 20 weeks with DOS BABIES.  We know exactly how you feel.. it took us about a year but knowing what we know now we should have done IVF from get go. 

Dont get discouraged, I know its tough but it the process some of us have to go through. Were here if you wanna chat.  

Hope that helps ... (((HUGS)))

We also used Fairfax for convenience factors. We switched donors 3x in 9 tries. the third time we switched we got pregnant on the first month.

Good luck!
