Which sperm bank did you chose and why? my Wife and I are hoping to pick one tomorrow and buy whatever account we need to look at donors and make some choices… she will be going threw testing next month and then may March we need to have the sperm ready. Thanks all 

 happy new year!!

If you look back through the threads a bit, I think there is one that discusses this. 

 

We are using North West Cryobank.  It is one of the cheaper ones and they don't charge you extra for having an Open ID donor.  I have ordered from them twice now and have had positive experiences both times.

Here is a link to a past thread...hopefully this works.  I haven't ever posted a link to a thread before.

We chose Pacific Reproductive Services, not for any particularly good reason. Our first choice was The Sperm Bank of California because they are a nonprofit and have a very low family limit per donor but they didn't have a donor that would work for us. We liked that PRS has the one of the highest guarantees for motile sperm per vial and that they are lesbian owned (not that it makes a big difference really) and a lot of WTBK donors with adult photos/videos. They worked out for us (got pregnant on the 2nd well timed try) and we certainly had much higher counts than friends who used other banks.

We used Fairfax cryo. My wife got pregnant on the first in-office IUI. We are very lucky and I tell her she has a very cost effective uterus. We were very happy with the customer service, ability to see adult photos, and packages for unlimited info for four months while we were narrowing it down. Lots of great, smart, and good looking donors!
