All of our donors go through a stringent screening process and are capable of contributing to a healthy pregnancy. Less than 1% of applicants become Cryobank donors. The qualification process takes about 4-5 months and the donor goes through multiple semen analyses, infectious disease testing, a physical exam, genetic testing which includes a chromosome analysis, an in-depth family history risk assessment performed by one of our genetic counselors, and receives final approval by our medical director. You can read more about our qualification process here: https://cryobank.com/how-it-works/donor-qualification/
Please also note that our Genetics staff actively monitors all reports of medical issues in pregnancies and offspring of our donors. If they learned of any new significant risk to a donor’s offspring, or increased risk of miscarriage, that would change our management of the donor. Please see our website here for additional information: https://cryobank.com/services/genetic-counseling/genetics-faqs/#answerMedicalInfo
Donor 14535 was released to our catalog in July 2016. We have more than 5 reported pregnancies and births are expected later this year.
