  I know a little bit about CMV since my last egg donor tested positive for the active form of the infection and we had to cancel our cycle.  I know CMV is more likely to be transmitted through sperm than through eggs.  Can you discuss this question with your RE?  Maybe s/he could even put you in touch with an infectious disease specialist to discuss the potential risks and the likelihood of transmission.

  When I shopped, I only looked at negative donors. Since one of the things that stuck with me from nursing school was the TORCH diseases are bad news in pregnancy. I agree you should have the talk with your doctor about risks/ benefits.... good luck!

  I am cmv negative and only considered cmv negative donors. I used CCB, and frankly appreciated that it helped narrow the choices...we were still overwhelmed by how many there were. If you aren't tied to a specific bank, there are a lot of cmv negative donors out there. My take was 'why take an unnecessary risk...'
  
  good luck!

  I am negative as well and am only using negative donors, my RE strongly encouraged this. It does really limit the pool but I just don't want to risk it. 

  Me- Ok as 1/13
  DH- Azoospermia diagnosis
  DIUI #1 7/13 BFN

  DIUI #2 8/31/13 BFN

  DIUI #3 10/26/13 Fingers crossed!
