  @onelittlechef Donor 13681 has more than 5 reported pregnancies. (I'm not sure if any of the families are active on our Bulletin Boards.)

  We do have a strict quality control process for all vials that are collected and distributed. And less than 1% of applicants actually become Cryobank donors.

  If your clinic is washing IUI vials or deviating from our thawing instructions, they may be seeing different numbers from our evaluation. You can have your clinic complete a specimen report form, so we can take a further look at the vials that were thawed: https://d3hwulnyp980el.cloudfront.net/files/cryobankcom/_forms/pdf/documents/specimen-report-form.pdf

  Please note that numerous studies have shown that pregnancy rates with IUIs are maximized with 5 million sperm and recent studies have shown that even less sperm is needed to achieve pregnancy. Here's more info as to how much sperm is needed to achieve pregnancy: https://www.cryobank.com/how-it-works/specimen-processing/specimen-information/
