How many tries before switching donors?

Cycle #4 with this donor has not worked out, even with using 3 vials and charting/timing being perfect.

I have four more vials that I think i'm going to sell back to the bank.

    Which donor are you using?

    If donor has no reported pregnancies or you can’t find anyone who has had a successful term pregnancy. I might move on.... or if it’s a low count. A lot of research has been done on timing and it’s frustrating....Personally, I’d be looking into an RE. That will take care of timing and a medicated iui will give you the best possible egg with the best possible sperm.
    If you are already using one maybe move on to a mini ivf cycle. Only because say if you are spending $1k a cycle on sperm and it’s not working by the time you get to a handful of cycles you could have a mini ivf cycle done and it gets you a better percentage of success.
    Just a suggestion.

    This was with donor 3145, I'm selling back my remaining vials, he has no reported pregnancies but at least one kid of his own.

    I switched after my first try. I had this feeling that I just needed to switch and then him not having any known pregnancies enforced that decision. I got pregnant my first try with a new donor and second try trying to conceive. Unfortunately that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I knew that it was my donor because I was being told by family to try a different donor to be safe but I couldn't. My 3rd try with that donor I got pregnant with my beautiful little girl. I took 4 tries all together but 3 were with the 2nd donor. If you feel that something is wrong and you want to switch then i would.
