xytex sperm donor bank patient information

Introduction

We at Xytex want clients to make the most informed decision possible when selecting a donor. To make this process easier, we offer extensive information on all of our donors. The way to begin donor selection is to turn to FAQ. It is organized in 4 major sections:

The Basics (Why would I use Xytex? How do I get started?)

Getting to Know Xytex Donors (How are they recruited? What information will Xytex disclose about their personality? Physical features?)

Donor Evaluation and Semen Effectiveness (Are the donors tested for diseases? Will frozen semen damage my baby?)

Ordering and Insemination (Will you ship to my home? Does Xytex have a payment plan?)

If you prefer we’ll answer your questions over the phone or through e-mail. Again we want you to make an informed and comfortable decision. That is why we have a lot of information for you. You will find that even our (free) Basic Profile of each donor provides as much information as other sperm banks’ (expensive) Long Profile.

After you narrow down your choice of donors, you may want to view baby photos, adult photos, engage in an I.N.F.O. session, or retrieve a donor’s Enhanced Profile. The following explains each of our Specialty Services in more detail. We hope that these options will help you tailor your selection process to your unique needs.

Basic Profiles Our Basic Profiles include the information found on our Donor Listing, as well as a medical history on the donor's family. You can even find the donor's birthday on his basic profile. Click here to view a complete list of donors. You will be able to select the basic profile of any donor for whom you would like more information.		Enhanced Profiles Enhanced Profiles provide a wealth of medical and social information on the donors and their families. If you want to know how many people in the donor's family have blue eyes, whether the donor is artistic or whether he has dimples, you may want to register here to view Enhanced Profiles. To preview a sample Enhanced Profile, including the donor's baby and adult photos, his personal essay and his social profile click here.
BabyFiles™ BabyFiles™ were introduced in 1996 and are included in the purchase of an Enhanced Profile. BabyFiles™, the donor's childhood photograph, are helpful for those who have concerns about how their child might look. To view BabyFiles™, register here.		PhotoFiles™ PhotoFiles™ introduced by Xytex in 1994, are photograph folios on select donors. They are included in the Enhanced Profile, when available, and are a "head and shoulder" photograph of the donor as an adult. We are proud to be the first sperm bank to offer photographs of our donors. To view PhotoFiles™, register here.
PhotoSpan PhotoSpan, introduced in the Winter of 2006, offers the most comprehensive information packages available anywhere. Downloadable directly from the site, PhotoSpan offers a narrated series of photos of the donor throughout different stages of his life, as well as photos of his own children, when applicable. Click here to view which donors have PhotoSpan available.		Identity Disclosure Program Some Xytex donors volunteer to disclose their identity to their offspring once they reach the age of majority (18). We call these donors Identity Disclosure Donors. Because participation is voluntary, not all donors agree to this option. To search for donors that participate, please click here.
Canada-compliant Units Patients in Canada wishing to use Xytex donor units must use units that are considered "Canada-compliant". This means that additional tests were performed at the time of each donation. To view a listing of Canada-compliant donors, click here.		I. N. F. O. (Informative Narrated Fone Options) The telephone based conference call environment, which provides patients the ability to hear live answers to their pre-submitted questions, will last approximately thirty (30) minutes and will cost $65 per patient. The I.N.F.O. program is ideal for patients who have used the selected donor in the past, or are considering using him in the future. It will allow the patient access to a closeness that was once considered impossible to obtain. Enrollment for each "chat session" is limited, so don't hesitate to sign up. If you are interested in obtaining more information or would like to sign up for a scheduled program, please e-mail xytex@xytex.com or call 800.277.3210. Continue to check the Xytex website on a regular basis to find out when your donor is scheduled to participate, or contact Xytex at xytex@xytex.com to request your donor be scheduled. Click here to view which donors have MP3 audio files of previous I.N.F.O Sessions available. ART Vials ART vials are available for patients who are undergoing procedures where fewer cells are needed. These procedures include in vitro fertilization (IVF), where eggs and sperm are combined in a laboratory, or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), where embryologists select and inject a single sperm into an egg. Xytex ART vials contain at least 15 million motile cells per unthawed milliliter, compared with 30 million motile cells found in the IUI and ICI samples. The ART vials were designed to benefit patients requiring fewer cells by offering them at a lower cost and in a variety of donors in limited supply. For answers to your questions and for specific availability, please call one of our Client Relations Specialists at 800.277.3210 or email Xytex@xytex.com.
Photomatching Photomatching allows us to help you find a donor who resembles your spouse or someone close to you. Please Download a document version or html version of our photomatching form and send it to us with pictures of the person you want the donor to resemble. Our donor counselor will review your information and provide you with a few donor choices.
Pregnancy and Birth Tracking Xytex tracks pregnancies by donor based on responses from you. Your response is especially important to us because we limit our donors based on the number of reported family units worldwide. Although we retire our donor after reaching the limit, we will make every reasonable effort to provide you with units from your donor for additional children. A pregnancy tracking card and a birth reporting card is included in each shipment. If you did not receive the cards and need to report a pregnancy or birth, please download the forms below. Once the information is completed, please send the forms to: Xytex Corporation 1100 Emmett St. Augusta, GA 30904 Pregnancy Tracking Card - (PDF 32 KB) Birth Reporting Card - (PDF 33 KB)
