Isn't Xytex affliated with Fairfax, or is that another one?...Anyway, lots of people have complained about low counts on donors. FYI, you can check my siggy, but we had GREAT post thaw numbers with The Fertility Center of California, San Diego branch. They were FANTASTIC to us! Very helpful, sensitive, knowlegable...overall great experience!

I didn't feel comfortable using them after discovering that they over use the same popular donors.

If you're ever curious about getting an idea of how "popular" a prospective donor is, check out the Donor Sibling Registry. I was interested in one through Fairfax and found the guy has his cult practically! And they were currently taking a waiting list for clients waiting for new swimmers to be released! Crazy!
