Good Day,

We are wondering the number of reported pregnancies and/or births for each of these donors (12890 & 13589) who we are interested in? And the date the most recent samples that were collected from donor 12890 (since he seems to have been around for a little while)?

Thank you!

    Hi Blair -

    Donor 13589's vials became available for purchase about a month ago. It's too soon for reported pregnancies from clients, but he has been responsible for pregnancies in his own life.

    Donor 12890 currently has less than 5 reported pregnancies. I don't have a specific donation date for you, but he finished donating last summer.

    Please note that 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 that was frozen one year ago or ten years ago.

    Regards,

    Hello Blair,

    I was wondering if you decided to use one of these donors. If you did, would you mind sharing the quality of the samples? How was the sperm count and motility? I was looking into those donors, too...

    Thanks!

    I used this donor and he had a really low sperm count.

    Hi All -

    Just an update, Donor 12890 has 5 or more reported pregnancies.

    NS3622- If your physician or lab tech encountered a vial that he/she deemed substandard, please have him/her complete a specimen report form and fax it to us so that we can review the information. Counts can vary based on the type analytical method used, but the occurence of substandard vials is rare.

    Regards,

    Thank you, Nicole. I will do that.
    The ICI vial I got had a sperm count of only 8 million instead of the guaranteed standard of 15 million for ICI vials.
    I will have my physician fill out a specimen report form.

    NS3622, are you speaking of 12890 or 13589?

    Indeed, hopefully NS3622 will respond. Donor 12890 is on our shortlist too.

    Thanks!

    I had my first IUI with 13589 today and there was a count of 21 million... He has more than 5 reported pregnancies with the cryobank..
