in Selecting a Sperm Donor

My first choice of donor is born in 1981. He donated at 37 or 38. Thoughts on using a donor that age?

    We have heard that if you are well into your 30s and trying to get pregnant, to look for a younger donor. But I think it depends on your individual history and needs. I was born in 1987 and have leaned toward donors born in 1990 or later.

    Well I am actually using an egg donor and she is in her 20s so no issue there. My concern is dealing with the increased chance of autism and other issues that occur at higher percentages with older men.
