Donor Sperm Banks
I wanted to see if any one could recommend a sperm bank. We have a couple the dr recommended, but I wanted to hear your thoughts. Plus if you have any sperm banks not to use. Those are very appreciated.
Thanks.

Where are you located? (US or Canada or ???) We chose to go with Xytex Corp (actually, the Canadian branch of Xytex which is Outreach Health Services). We found they had a very good selection, especially of open ID donors, and their customer service was very helpful. I think they're comparable in price to other companies, but not totally sure. They even have a real-time "chat" thing on their website, so you can look at their website while asking questions. They provide pretty good free short profiles of donors and the long profiles are only 20$... plus many donors have photos if you're looking for someone with physical characteristics similar to your partner...

California Cyrobank, very positive experience. Look online at their monthly information and list of donors. You can search based on a number of items, including blood type, which was a issue for us.
Good luck, Lori
