Should I pick a donor with no reported pregnancies?

The donor I am interested in has no reported pregnancies listed. However, maybe he is a new donor and hasn't been around long as it says to check back for more details. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm sure CCB tests the sperm before they make the vials for the donors but I fear picking a donor with no reported pregnancies. Anyone in the same boat?

    Hi Nova -

    Nothing to worry about.

    All the donors are equally strictly screened. Every individual donation is tested. The only thing the number of reported pregnancies tells you is how long the donor has been available. You have the exact same chance of a successful pregnancy with every single donor.

    It generally takes 6-9 months from a donors first release for reports to start coming in.

    Good luck,

    Scott

    Thank you! That's very reassuring. Is there any way to find out how long a donor has been in the program?

    Sure. Just ask.

    Thanks. It's re: Donor 12600. No reported pregnancies yet. How long has he been in the program? Is he new?
