    Hi Pr -

    Donor 14044 does not have reported pregnancies yet. He is a relatively new donor and has only been available for about 4 months.

    Please note that reported pregnancies are usually linked to the amount of time a donor has been available and/or the popularity of his characteristics. Another client's pregnancy or lack of pregnancy has no bearing on your personal chance of success.

    All CCB donors go through an extensive screening process and are capable of contributing to a successful pregnancy. (Less than 1% of applicants are chosen to be part of our donor program.)

    Donor 14044 is an attractive guy with a great smile and a great heart. If he's your top choice, there's no reason to second guess it. You could be the first to report a pregnancy. :)

    Best of luck!

    Hi Nicole,

    Are u able to verify if the reported pregnancies were thru IVF or IUI? There seems to be some discrepancies with the motility count per vial with this donor and I don't know if we should switch donors. Thank u!

    Hi T&T -

    The reported pregnancies for Donor 14044 include outcomes from IUI.

    Sperm are living, moving cells and the calculation of total motile sperm count can vary. Labs that use different equipment, different counting techniques, and/or different thawing techniques may receive a different result.

    Most specimens that appear to show poor motility immediately after thaw are actually ideal once used for insemination. If the specimen is under-thawed, it would appear to show lower motility prior to insemination. However, sperm thrive at body temperature and motility actually increases as the sperm continue to "wake up" while inside the body.

    Feel free to read more about our specimen quality standards here:

    It's also important to keep in mind that studies have determined that anything greater than 5 million total motile donor sperm for IUIs does not improve pregnancy outcome.

    Regards,
