No Reported Pregnancies

    I had to change donors once because while the sperm had very high pre-wash count, not much survived washing. My doctor said it "didn't wash well"...and he advised me to discard the two vials I still had remaining from that donor... So after that I always bought one vial only first, then had my doctor do a count after washing. Once assured the sperm washed well I would then buy additional vials. I was doing IUIs, so the count and motility really mattered a lot, but if you are doing IVF it might not be as critical, but your doctor should know how to evaluate whether it is "good" sperm or not. I personally wouldn't be that concerned about the no reported pregnancies yet because a) a little over a year isn't that long, and b) a lot of women using sperm donors have fertility issues which make it harder to conceive, which could cause the reported pregnancy number to be lower due to non-donor-related reasons, and c) some people don't remember to inform the sperm bank that they got pregnant

    I ordered sperm that had no reported pregnancies, and got pregnant on the first try! I just searched my donor's number on the forum and there are quite a few pregnancies. Maybe I was just an "early adopter".
