No recorded pregnancies

I am new to this (will hopefully have my first IUI next month) and was hoping to get some advice/opinions from those of you who have been through this before. One of the donors I am looking at has not had any reported pregnancies? Should I steer clear of this donor for this reason? Is it possible that this is because he is a newer donor or that the pregnancies just haven't been reported yet? Surely the motility and sperm counts are checked prior to selling the vials....

Also, when a donor has a waiting list, how quickly do they become available again?

Of course, my favorite donors either have no reported pregnancies or have a waiting list!! Thanks in advance!

    I went with someone who did not have reported pregnancies at the time, but we went with him anyway. No issues. Did IUI one time, no drug help whatsoever, and first try - bam! Was meant to be. :) We now have a beautiful and healthy baby boy, who is 7.5 months now. Best of luck to you in your search and your journey. Go with what you want. Its hard enough to find a donor you like that suits your needs.
