Need reassurance that TTC after 40 isn't crazy - Page 2

post #21 of 22

NaomiJoy2...   I try to only use donors under 25 for much the same reasons as you posted. A new study also shows that the man's age may be a factor in Autism, and other genetic disorders. And, since I cannot do anything about my age, I do what I can about what I can change, by choosing to use younger donors.

 

However, if I were married, or in a committed relationship, I would take my chances with my partner.

I think age of the man is a factor, though, like with a woman, overall health is key.  There is some thought that a good diet can improve both egg and sperm health.  I believe this.  It's all a gamble suppose.  But my uncle has a beautiful, bright, NT daughter he fathered at 60 (my aunt is 42).  So it can happen too.

 

I am feeling much better about the age question right now.
