Onto Cycle 4 / 8843 Question

Hi!
I really want you to get your bfp.
I used 2 vials - ICI -8843
And 2 vials IUI - 410Z- did iui with his cause it was all he had left.

I am 16 1/2 weeks but I don’t know which donor won the race! Lol. Could be 8843 or might not.
I am not a carrier for 8843 and his one recessive disorder.

Also to note -I probably couldn’t carry a successful pregnancy without a better ovulation from Clomid.
Also I got pregnant the first try with 410Z but miscarried. Later with investigation we figured out it was most likely me not the sperm.

Hope this is it for you. What a good deal!

Yes, lol, For sure.

I might be able to figure it out with blood type. If the baby is AB or B, then I know for sure it is 8843. I am A+. If baby is O or A, then still could be either donor. Unfortunately, I don't know if I am homozygous A or heterozygous and we don't have that info on the donors either. So...DNA to the rescue! lol

He looks more like my wife than he does me as well, but I'm good with it.  At this point, we just want a healthy baby.  Preferably, sooner than later.  Good luck to you! I look forward to hearing some good news soon!

@heyjudemommy I like the donor as well, but I REALLY like how many successful pregnancies he seems to have.  And so many of the moms are still active in this forum so that's pretty nice as well.  Let me know what you choose!
If you are at all able, this sale is pretty good right now.  Even if it's a stretch to order all 4 now, you're probably ordering 2 anyway - right? If you can do just ONE more, you get that 4th one free. What CD are you now?
Our tank is arriving tomorrow, my wife is testing High right now but had a temp dip this morning so we are a little nervous... She isn't supposed to O until the 24th, but this has been a weird cycle.  Just hoping the peak holds out until tomorrow afternoon at least! We are trying a crazy mix of hours this time since we are using 4 vials... One immediately after testing peak, 8-10 hours after that, and then roughly 10-12 hours and another 10-12 hours.  So 0/8-10/18-22/30-32. Two cycles ago, we were SO on the timing, but it didn't work out so we are just going crazy with  the timing this time.  Obviously, any O signs and we will adjust accordingly.

What day do you usually ovulate? I generally try to stay away from the weekend deliveries, since the tank is just sitting there.  But sometimes it's not possible to avoid.

Hey all,  here was my timing if that helps. I ovulated on the 30th of December and my tank came in on the CD 10 (12/27) and I had sent it before Christmas so it had been out 6 or 7 days ( I sent it early not to avoid not getting it in time due to Christmas and weather) . I used 1 8843 ici vial CD 11  (10PM)
CD 12 (8am) I got the trigger
and CD 13 I ovulated (I think -felt one sided  back pain ) 36 hours post trigger was not before 24 hours-temp hadn’t risen) I had used my last ici 8843 vial at CD 13 (33 hours post trigger).
I usually ovulate within 24 hours of surge but I think using the trigger pushed it to 36 hours. **i think ** I felt twinges and ovary pain 12 and 24 hours too. I’m very sensitive apparently.

Important to note**** I also did ici 12 hours post trigger and iui about 24 hours post trigger with 410Z.
Babydust! Wishing you all bfps!

The 7 days don't start until the day you receive the Dewar. They are charged to last for 21 days and stay frozen that long!!! They just only guarantee 7 days from arrival. So the weekend delivery doesn't make a difference in that sense ????????????

410Z worked the first time but I miscarried.
at the time I worried that it was timing, sperm quality, or the fact that sperm was frozen -read about fractures in DNA due to freezing...
Anyway I just was at the point I wanted a baby that would make it. In the meantime my doctor was making me wait a few cycles to test me.
8843 had multiple reported pregnancies with healthy babies actually born and really high sperm counts like 40milliom for iui sperm versus the standard 10 that doctors like it at. It was starting to really make me wonder about a positive pregnancy with 410Z that was healthy. It had worked for me the first time but I miscarried. No one else posted about him at the time. When I bought the first vials (410z) for my first TTC attempt he had no pregnancies then I got pregnant and then his status changed to positive pregnancy-someone other than me.
Someone else on the forum pointed out that you don’t know if these pregnancies continue or how it’s achieved...for ivf quality/mobility doesn’t matter as much.
I bought two vials of 8843.
Then my testing results came in, and it looked like the problem was all me- I didn’t ovulate strong enough and I have some weird clotting stuff too potentially.
I looked at 410Z again and he only had two vials left. I had originally liked his profile. Knowing the problem was me I looked at his extended profile and liked it even more. I went ahead and bought the last two vials left.
I was just going to use two vials one of each and then changed my mind and decided to use them all. I decided to go big or go home.
As for using from two different donors...my background is in biology( I was in grad school for molecular biology)
I figured survival of the fittest. When I explained that to my genentic counselor she didn’t bat an eye.
8843 was my insurance policy because of his high sperm count.
I will figure it out when the baby is born which donor won. If he’s AB or B then it’s obvious it’s 8843. Any other blood type and I have to run more DNA to be sure.
Since I found out gender early, it’s the only mystery left besides meeting my sweet baby.
(My mom didn’t like my decision of using two donors in one cycle, but I stopped caring what she thinks a long long  time ago. Lol)
