Continued from my previous post Sperm Stress, the stress continues. Well, the Free Trial from Xytex wasn’t quite the trial we thought it was. You did get a look at their detailed profile, however there was an important thing missing, viewing the photos. So we signed up for the Ultra Unlimited Package at about another $200. After paying $300 for the main banks that had any choices within our criteria, we had about 45 donors to choose from. As stressful as it can be trying to choose sperm, seeing facial features, and stance as an adult helps immensely. At this point, after analysing profiles and pictures, we have it narrowed down to two options. One from Seattle, and one from Xytex. It is a hard choice between the two though. The thought of “What if we make the wrong choice?” keeps running though our head. Yesterday I said, if one of the two wasn’t available, I would be fine with the other option.
Today I called Outreach Sperm Bank to see what the availability is for our top two. The one from Xytex is available in the 6 pack we want, washed, currently in Canada. The one from Seattle isn’t. Outreach is contacting the Seattle sperm bank to see if/when our choice has any being store there or if any more is coming soon. The choice from Xytex does have confirmed pregnancies, not only with Xytex, but with Outreach. Outreach is finding out if the Seattle choice has any confirmed pregnancies. Availabilities may make the final choice for us, and I am still ok with that. If they are both available, it is going to be a hard decision.
On this phone call, I found out something fairly alarming. Before a donor is retired, they can have 40 family units globally. That is HUGE possible extended family worldwide, plus the fact each family unit can have more than one child.
