  • Hi Shy -

    Welcome! That is an excellent question and as you can see, we get asked about reported pregnancies quite often.

    First, the important thing to understand is that reported pregnancies have nothing to do with your chance of success or the donor's specimen quality.

    It's best to speak to your physician about your chance of success because different factors like the type of procedure, use of fertility drugs, use of ultrasounds, health and maternal age all play a role. Our donors go through an extensive screening process and are all capable of contributing to a pregnancy. Less than 1% of applicants are actually chosen to be CCB donors.

    Most often, the number of reported pregnancies are related to how long a donor's vials have been available and/or the popularity of the donor's characteristics.

    Donor 13460 does not have any reported pregnancies yet. He's been available for about a month, so it will take some time before we receive pregnancy reports.

    It's important to choose a donor that's a good fit for you and to keep in mind that reported pregnancies have no bearing on your success. If Donor 13460 is the one for you, then you should go for it.

    Best of luck with everything and please don't hesitate to ask us questions!

  • Thank Nicole, I guess since I was going by his profile date I thought he would have been used by now. I didnt see anything about his teeth in the profile. Would happen to know if they are straight? Straight teeth are on both sides of the family so that is a must. Please & Thanks

  • Hi Shy -

    It typically takes about a year from when the donor completes the profile until the vials are available for sale due to the extensive testing process.

    Additional information about the donor's physical qualities can be found on page 5 of the extended profile. Donor 13460 reported that he did not have orthodontic treatment and his teeth are in good condition. He is not smiling with teeth in his internal CCB photo, so I can not tell what his teeth look like as an adult. But, if you look at his oldest childhood photo (he looks about 10 or 11 years old) you can see that his teeth appear straight and white.

  • Does he have any reported pregnancies now? If so, are they more or less than 5?
  • Hi Lovely -

    Donor 13460 does have reported pregnancies, currently less than 5. Please keep in mind that the number of reported pregnancies is usually linked to how long a donor has been available and/or the popularity of his characteristics.

  • Thanks so much Nicole. I guessing since he's just been available since 2/13, there probably aren't any reported births yet.

    I'm going to use him this cycle and hopefully, I will be reporting a pregnancy soon with him! :)
  • Hi Lovely -

    You're welcome. Yes, it's too soon for reported births. Births are expected this year and then it usually takes time for new moms to report back to us.

    Best of luck with your insemination and please keep us posted!
