hia,
We went through concept fertility and used an unknown donor.
The information we received was:
Eye colour
hair colour
nationality
skin tone
body structure ie slim, normal overweight etc
ocupation
hobbies and interests
siblings
health information ie medical history for not only donor but siblings, parents and grandparents
and a few other things. if I remember i will come back on and post
They are very helpful and I cannot recommend concept enough. the nurses and doctors there are wonderful. we had dealings with another clinic in subiaco which i wont name and they were horrible. treated us more like a number rather then a human being.
goodluck on your ttc journey and we wish you a happy outcome whatever you choose

I am not sure about concept importing sperm as we didnt need to do this.
As for the matching side.
They will match a donor as close to your husband as possible.
As far as I am aware there is still an 18month waiting list for sperm and you should get a selection of 3 donors.
They cant match up everyone but they will give you the option of 3 and you both can make an iformed decision.
Goodluck with your counselling appointment they are very nosey (and so they should be) and ask all kinds of questions ie. any marital splits in either families, mental illness, domestic violence etc etc
If you have any other questions just let me know.
Hopefully I can help

sorry to be the bearer of bad news hun
The 18 month wait is from your first appointment with concept ie your counselling appointment. then when you get closer to the top of the list you will get your donors to choose from.
You may be lucky and the wait may be shorter. It was 18months for us but that was well and truely over a year and a half ago.
I hope that you get your list alot sooner.
Let me know how it all goes.
Sending big hugs
