I am in the d/s selection process for IUI... I have looked at SEVERAL banks... California Cryo, Xytex, Midwest, New England, Fairfax && Cryogenics... I am so torn on which one to go with!!! I have found donors at most banks but now I am just looking for some feedback on who y'all have used! Help!!!

Did you find the one you wanted? I am looking through the sites now and it's crazy. I feel like I am on match.com meets amazon.com.

Haha... I've never thought about it like that before... but you are SO right! Well I REALLY liked MidWest Sperm Bank - they cost MUCH less than the other banks and have great success according to discussion boards on other websites & based on the Donor Sibling Registry - however, there's always something isnt there?... my RE won't use them because they have yet to receive their CLIA certification! UGH! They are getting it soon though...

In the meantime, I found a donor from Xytex that I am going to use this month - my first month!!! Hopefully it will stick the first time around!!! Tomorrow is officially CD1!!!!

Who all have you looked at? Good luck and keep me informed!!

We went with Cryogenics, so far we have tried 2 cycles both BFNs. We are in our TWW for our 3rd and have one vile left. If we dont get our BFP by then we are moving on to another bank where we will shell out more money with hopes of it increasing the odds

I like Midwest a lot. We are going to be using #216, #038 or #292 from Midwest for our next 3-4 IUIs. They only charge $200 per vial and $75 for shipping and I like that they don't charge for storage of vials. I think that Joanne from Midwest is very helpful too! Good Luck with whatever bank you decide to use! Keep us posted!!
