These days few would consider the late 30s or early 40s “old” in most senses of the word, but age does play a significant role for new moms — and not just in terms of fertility and pregnancy chances.
If you needed blood, or even a heart or kidney, would you hesitate to turn to a donor for help?…
After extensive testing and exploring other options, you and your partner may decide to consider donor egg or sperm to achieve the family you desire. Dr. Douglas may suggest one of these options in cases where maternal age, male factor infertility, or genetic issues present problems with conceiving. Understanding donor options can allow you and your partner to make an educated decision about how to proceed on your journey to parenthood.
