Hi Harper,

ok, that's my story... me and my partner're always somewhere between UK and Slovenia (buisness) so... when we found out that we'll need a donor sperm... we decided to use a institut in Austria (recomendation)....

However, we used a donor sperm (donor from Austria) in our IVF procedure - the 1st IVF was successful - I'm 7 weeks pregnant ☺️☺️....

(and we also have a 4-very good quality- embryos, waiting for us ☺️)

So, using a sperm from donor...worked for us (for now) ❤️

Wish u all the best!!!

I’m so sorry that the Micro teasse didn’t work for your OH. Hope you are both doing ok, it’s a lot of emotion to process.

It took us quite a while to get sorted with donor sperm so that’s great news that they’ve told you you’ll get started in 3 months. Sounds like you are moving forward already xx

in reply toKyell2

Are you still waiting??... we’re in Liverpool xx

All I do is wait lol:

We waited 6 months to just process the news as my OH was truly heartbroken about the diagnosis.

Then tried a NHS clinic (but paying for it) and they would only use a sperm bank that didn’t have anyone who looked like him so we had to move clinic again.

Then we discovered I needed to be immunised against rubella and couldn’t have the CMV tests (to match my CMV to the donor) until that kicked in...so all in all we have waited almost 18 months. Finally selecting sperm now and hope to squeeze in an IUI before Christmas.

I am an extremely patient woman 😂

in reply toKyell2

Oh m god I’m the same! We started this in April 2017 !!... horrendous wait but I hope it’s all worth it 🤞🏻Plus exhausting all routes for your hubby is so important xx

If you don’t mind me asking why IUI and not ivf/ICSI? Xxx

I just want to give IUI one shot. Much cheaper and less drugs involved which really appeals to me.

I’m only going to do one and then move to IVF as the chances of it working are so low. I don’t think we need ICSI anymore as the quality of sperm from the donor is good.

You’ll maybe get started at the same time as me if you are starting in 3 months x

in reply toKyell2

Oh fab, makes sense! Good luck 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Keep me posted x x x x x
