Hi I was wondering if the quality or pregnancy success goes down with the length of freeze time such as donor 05441 In 2002? Is that too old to use? Also are there NO photos of this donor on file? thank you please help.

Once sperm is frozen and stored in liquid nitrogen, it is viable for an indefinite amount of time. Once thawed, there is no measurable difference in "quality" between sperm frozen one year or ten.
There are news reports of cryopreserved donor sperm frozen for 40 years which resulted in live births.
In addition to our sperm donor services, we also provide private storage to young adults prior to cancer therapy who may choose to store their sperm for one or two decades until they are ready to start a family.
Unfortunately, Donor 5441 does not have any childhood photos available. If you'd like to know more about his appearance, please feel free to contact Client Services and ask for Shawnbay. He's on our Donor Look-a-Likes committee and may be able to help you paint a picture of the donor.
Best of luck,
Nicole
