Would you?
I have a donor picked, but I’m torn. The donor supposedly had 5+ according to CCB but I’ve talked to at least 4 women who have been using this donor with zero luck. Some for long period of time.
He is my favorite pick and I feel a strong connection to him as he’s the most like my wife and I. But I’m curious
Would you use them?

Really, it depends on what method you are using. IVF will show quite quickly if the sperm is a good "match" to your wife's (or a donor's) eggs, especially if you're having testing done. If you are going with IUI/ICI, then hedge your bets. Decide how many vials/tries/time you are willing to give the donor before potentially switching.
Having said that, I had a top pick. Took 4 tries to get pregnant, and ended up with a chemical. I switched donors for one round, but almost instantly regretted it! In retrospect, I'm so thankful that try did not take. Switched back to my original choice, and blessed with B/G twins on IUI #6. Go with your gut.
