We were at SGF and used Fairfax-donor is a rock climber

I always wondered this.

If you use a local sperm donor are you worried about your potential child inadvertently dating or marrying a sibling?

I don't worry for a few reasons:
-Fairfax operates nationally and from the Donor Sibling Registry I know that the other children listed from this donor are spread throughout the country (we no longer live in the region)
-my child knows that she is donor conceived, and most donor kids are told at a young age these days, so when she is dating and relationship aged she will be ready to have that conversation with potential partners
-it is extremely statistically unlikely
-even if it did happen, it wouldn't be the end of the world

FSAFeds works with ivf meds like this. You purchase the meds with credit card. ( earn points). Once you have the receipt, turn it into a PDF. Under the options, say it’s for fertility. Attach your receipt, get reimbursed ( we did direct deposit). Pay off credit card bill with reimbursed money. The money from FSAFeds is pretaxed. So you save money by not paying taxes on it. It comes out of your paycheck every month. Plus, it’s a happy pot of money waiting for your use. And say you use it January 2019 when the new year opens, you can use it right away. If you have any questions, the FSAFEDS customer service was great about answering questions about the form.

And I used money from my FSAFEDS account to be reimbursed to buying sperm vials too.

Also, make sure you let them know you are a Shady Grove patient so you can get the free shipping. We had ours shipped to Rockville but when the IVF center opened up in Fairfax, SGF sent it over from Rockville with no problems.

I don’t know if you are a fed, but you can use your FSAFeds account for reimbursing your purchase. That was a great savings. We also used it for ivf meds with my husband’s account.

How does FSAFeds work with IVF meds?

You can pick from several options. We chose California Cryobank.

What donor bank do they use?
