How many vials to buy for storage?

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!
