Donor choice and the wish for two children
Hello Dear Moms (to be),
I have chosen a donor and I hope to conceive 2 children out of the straws I bought. I have purchased 9 straws but I have to do unmedicated IUI’s in my country before I am allowed to move to IVF.
Now I am a bit worried that I won’t have enough for two children in the case that my IUI’s don’t work. Other woman had to do 9 IUI’s (in my country) which I find odd because of the low success rates, it is def something I will discuss with my fertility doctor because these straws cost me a lot of money already. Also my chosen donor is out of stock right now.
Also there a big indicators that I have pcos, on my scan I had 18 follikels on one side and one mature egg.
I feel uncertain about unmedicated IUI with pcos.
My donor is a 75 fam donor worldwide and if it would happen that there is nothing left for a sibling I would feel pretty crushed as that will add even more children and families to my children backgrounds, also they then Will ofcourse be only half siblings.
- I would be interested in experiences from other moms here, how do you feel and navigatie different donors?
- Anyone experience with pcos and unmedicated IUI’s?
Would love to hear experiences, thank you🙏
