Does DI (Donor Insemination) even work?

Posted by Judy on June 13, 2013 at 10:30am 0 Comments

After over a year of actively coordinating my cycle, I began to wonder if I could actually get pregnant. I was twenty five, so technically, I should be very fertile.  My doctor assured me that the problem was with my husband, and that we should conceive with donor with no problem.

 

That first month with the donor, I took an ovulation predictor test.  It wasn't like it is now, head to the pharmacy, buy an ovulation test, use it, one step, and know if you're ovulating.…

Choosing the Donor

Posted by Judy on June 6, 2013 at 10:04am 0 Comments

So last I left you, we ere looking at the short profiles, trying to figure out which donors might have a Jewish background, as that was an important component of the donor profile for us. Also high up there: healthy, with a healthy family history, intelligence, and honesty.

 

Back then, donors filled out a twenty five page medical, social, personality, work and psychiatric history for themselves and all of their immediate family members -- grandparents, parents,…

Profiles, or Picking the Biology

Posted by Judy on May 20, 2013 at 9:30am 0 Comments

So a couple of days later I picked up the "short profiles" from the RE's office. There wasn't much information to go on -- height, weight, skin color, eye color, ethnicity.  Because we are Jewish, we wanted a Jewish donor. (Interestingly, Rabbis recommend that Jewish couples choose non-Jewish donors, to ensure that they will never marry half siblings, based on the thought that Jews only marry Jews.  In fact, at least fifty per cent of Jews marry outside the religion, and we wanted…
