What is the birth limit for each donor?

Standard Birth Limits

Fairfax Cryobank creates sperm donor birth limits based on several criteria.

Specifically, a donor’s sales will cease when 25 families (children from the same donor living in one home) have been reported in the US. International distribution stops when 15 families have been reported. After the family limits have been met, vials will only be distributed for sibling pregnancies. 

Families who have children by the same donor will be sold additional donor units, if available, as "Sibling Pregnancy Only" units.

 

Fairfax ID-Reserve Birth Limits

Fairfax Cryobank recently launched our newest donor category, Fairfax ID Reserve, designed for families seeking exclusive donor options with limited availability.

When you choose a donor from the Reserve program, you’re securing an exclusive opportunity. Each donor is sold to a limited group of 10 families worldwide, with a minimum order of 3 vials per donor.

 

 

In addition, we monitor the reported location of births and limit the geographic distribution of a donor consistent with the guidelines of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM). It is important that everyone be diligent in reporting births to us to help us monitor the number of births associated with any donor. Please go to the pregnancy reporting page on our website or call us with your information.
