Shipment method success?

Hi all!

My wife and I used KDR (knowndonorregistry) to find a sperm donor (from another state). We’ve come to trust each other and everything is looking great! Our sperm donor agreement went through two lawyers and now we’re trying our second month using shipped sperm (TYB and chilled).

Before this we had all the typical tests, worked with an infertility specialist, and had two failed <a href="https://glowing.com/glow-fertility-program">IUI</a>’s in fall of 2019.

Now we get the shipment in the morning, warm it up, and use a softcup. So all in all, this is our fourth try!

We know that it’s pretty uncommon to get pregnant on the first few tries, and we shouldn’t loose hope, but I know that already it’s hard!

Is there anyone who has had success? Is there a place for me to see people who’ve had success using the process we are? All we’ve found is research on animal success. Which I guess we are! Any stories of hope?

I haven’t had experience with shipping sperm, I just wanted to say that I googled “TYB sperm shipping reviews.” I actually came across a couple of other forums where they’ve shared their stories in what you’re asking. Not sure if you googled it that way. I know sometimes you have to add in a few extra words to get exactly what you’re looking for. I also remember about a year ago someone mentioned they used that and got pregnant. Not sure if they’re still active, but you could try to post this on “Same Sex Pregnant Couples” group as well. I wish the best for you!

Courtney, thank you so much for responding! I will definitely search that and post this on the same sex pregnant couples page- that makes sense!

The website babydust isn’t operating anymore?? We used the shipping chilled +TYB method and our donor used a microscope last time to see what the motility looks like after 18 hours on ice and he saw extremely low motility. This is our third cycle of trying and now babydust is just gone? It’s super sketchy. Their customer service email doesn’t even work anymore. Does anyone have tips for where to get TYB or what you used for shipping sperm? Has anyone had success with babydust? Thank you in advance!

I haven’t had success yet but my donor on KDR has a lot of success on his profile.
