How many vials to buy for storage?

bruyere

Hello!

I am not sure where to post this, as I would like advice from other members of the board and not necessarily the staff. My wife and I have picked our donor, or rather, we are 99% sure he is the one we want. However we are not yet ready to get pregnant, we want to wait a year or until early 2014. We were thinking of buying a couple of vials and have them stored until we are ready.

Right now, I've been told the donor has 50 vials left but has retired. He has had 5-10 positive pregnancies. I'm 31 and will be the one carrying the child (I'd be 33 years old then). We were going to buy 2 vials but what if I don't get pregnant and the donor has sold out? I am not sure what to do and our budget is limited. I could buy more but if I get pregnant after one try, even with the 50% buy back from fairfax, it'd still be a big loss of money (I may want to keep a vial for a second child in case we ever want to give our future child a sibling).

What do you think?

thanks!

I would definitely buy more. You don't want to regret not having enough, if there is no more to purchase. Plus it kinda depends on if you're doing iui or ivf.. Hopefully I was a little helpful!
