Has anybody used this donor? I'm just curious if anyone has had any positive experiences with him.

    We just switched to this donor and I will find out if it worked in the next day or so (:

    I don't believe I've come across any others that have listed him as their donor, but I haven't paid too much attention, either. He does have reported pregnancies, though.

    Good luck picking!

    We used him for one cycle and where really excited about him. We got a BFN with him and then after researching on here there was one lady that said his vials where inconsitent with volume and sperm counts. This scared us so we switched. I really like 168M and if this cycle doesn't work with our new donor we may go back to him. Good luck and sorry I am not much help!

    Thank you ladies! I appreciate your insight, I used him this cycle so we'll see if it turns out to be a BFP in the next week or so.
    BabyBugs - maybe we'll have half-siblings the same exact age! :)

    well, unfortunately, I don't think it worked this cycle ): Today is cd15 and still getting bfns. But AF hasn't arrived either, so? I really would love to know of others who have used him. Honestly, I'm not one who is weird about that stuff. I think it's an awesome opportunity to get to know any half siblings. So, I hope that this month is our month and we both get lucky and knocked up!!! Good luck in choosing your donor and with ttc. Keep us posted! Oh PS, we got to see the swimmers under the microscope at the iui. I didn't really know what to expect. I kinda expected to see more swimmers, but I still saw lots and the dr said "yep, lots of swimmers". I know for a fact that he commented to my friends (who just got pregnant with donor sperm) that their 2nd vial didn't have as many swimmers and seemed like a kinda low count (they used ccb)...so I feel like if it was an unusually small amount of swimmers in my 168 vial he would've said something. Course, I could be wrong. Again, good luck!!

    BabyBugs - I'm glad you're not weird about the sibling thing, I didn't even think about it when I put that comment out there! Here's hoping your BFN's become BFP's!!

    He didn't include much medical info. The donor we went with included more, other than that 168M was fine. (hope I didn't freak you out!)

    For us lots of medical history was important and I really liked the education and hobbies of the donor we are using.

    This is our first month with NW and we are using 168m. We have 2 vials and plan on doing back to back IUIs tomorrow (tues) and Wednesday.
