I'm a Fairfax Client

I agree that all of these sperm banks need to be audited.

Never mind the cost of the "product" itself. The cost of a cycle is astronomical and the cost of fertility meds is no picnic either. To go through all of that to find a count that's less than desirable is frightening, to say the least!

I chose a donor at Fairfax who is extremely popular - I didn't realize it until after the fact. The ONLY good thing about it (if there can be a "good" thing) is that I know he's proven (over and over and over and over again) and that the sperm quality must have been good.

Good luck to you all.
