Question regarding "success range" that you give out..

I had recently called and ordered my 9th vial from a donor. I had asked for his range of "success" and I was told he has had between 1-5 "successful reports" I was told that could mean either
A) Bi-Chemical Test - Which is basically a positive from a Home Pregnancy Test
Clinical Test - Which is a positive from a doctors office- (That a heart beat was heard)
C) A Birth
I'm in a bit of disbelief at how broad the spectrum is. I'm not sure what the point is at giving any numbers at all at that point. You give out a number like between 1-5 and then follow it to include just about anything. I feel with the amount of money people are paying for vials especially when it is their 9th purchase of a vial from the same donor they should be given a little bit more details then that. You guys have the details in numbers we dont. We just go with "Instict" and clearly our want to conceive. While I was thinking about the reasoning as to why Fairfax wont release more intricate details I couldn't quite figure it out. What difference would it make if you broke down the exact numbers of A- B- AND C-. To give a range like that and have it include anything really doesnt mean much.
Additionally what guidelines does Fairfax follow to confirm let's say for example A? So if I get a positive on a home pregnancy test and I call does that just automatically count as one? In trying to conceive as long as I have and being on many diferent forums I have had / seen many women who SWEAR they see a second line just because of how eager they are and how great their despiration is to have that baby. They will see a line which in turn is just a evap line and their blood work a week later confirms it was just that, a evap line. So let's say that happens and they never call to say "I made a mistake" then it still counts as one? I would think before Fairfax would add a number to the range there would be some sort of guidelines that would be followed?
If any and all information regarding my concerns could be answered that would be great.
I hope you understand where I am coming from. I just think it is a VERY broad spectrum. Too broad. I also can't see it really helping anyone because it could in fact mean nothing but a false report of (A). Considering the finances involved in each vial I was just hoping for a little more.
Thank you for taking your time to read this.

For us, we called to advised with our first child that we were pregnant. They asked if it was confirmed by a Dr and if a heartbeat was detected. We called back after our daughter was born to advise of a live birth. Not sure if this is required or not. We are currently pregnant with our second by the same donor and I made that same call last week. I was again asked if a heartbeat had been detected, which it had since I was in my 2nd tri when I called. I don't recall them asking if it was an HPT (not saying they didn't) or not. Just if it was a clinical confirmation with heartbeat.
Hang in there!!!! People are rooting for you!
