Does Donor age make a difference?

Does anyone know whether donor age has in impact on success rate? I wonder if the younger the donor the higher the chances of success? What's been your experience?

I'm not certain, but you bring up an interesting point! In our specific experience, our donor was "23-28" when active and we have had two children using his vials. However the counts we have compared to others on this forum are far less (13-16 mil post-wash for IUI). I'm not sure if that's an age thing or diet/health thing.. but our donor was listed as being quite healthy. Have you had issues with your selected donor?

Thanks for answering, I guess it varies by individual. Congratulations on your two kids!
