Genetic conditions

Hi, This is my first time going through this and I need a little advice. I have a donor (#6019) I'd like to use but I'm a little nervous about his genetic results as it said that he was a carrier of a few conditions. Now I don't know what to do. My clinic tells me that I should go in a get tested, however it costs $300 for the test and I would get it back in 2 weeks. They also told me that if I don't have it, I could use him no problem but if I'm also a carrier (knock on wood) then they would advise me in finding another donor. And if i remember correctly, my child would have a 1 in 4 chance of also carrying the conditions.
Donor #6019 has the following conditions:
1. Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21 Hydroxylase Deficiency - Non-classic variant
(CYP21A2)
2. Glycogen Storage Disease Type 1A (G6PC)
3. Non-Syndromic Hearing Loss (GJB2)
I think I might just have to suck it up and get tested, it might take some stress off my decision of what to do. I just hate that it costs so much. And I know in the end of it all it won't matter how much it cost when your holding your child for the first time.
What would you guys do?

Fairfax is limited but if couldn’t find donor here, I’d go elsewhere.
Idk why some people would pick donor with health issues.
Good luck
Yeah that's true.
I think I just might do that. It just sucks, cause I really liked him. Have you checked out any other sperm donor sites or heard reviews of others?
