Age of donor,, does it matter?

Hello!
Well, I am waiting on AF and need to order some more vials. I think I will switch donor b/c of some traits that I just don't want. The donor I got my BFP was 100% Irish and has fair skin like I do. Well, DP has med/light skin tone and I have just been thinking that my baby would just sizzle in any sunlight with my skin tone times two!!
Also, I think he is an older donor, based on years donated, etc. The other possible one is under 30 (I asked the bank).
Both donors have good counts / motility. So with that combined with my pills/shots I should be good. But do you think the age of the donor matters?

However, most sperm banks and I think it's the same with NW wont take any donors above age 35.
I would focus more on reported pregnancies than age in any case.
If it's worked for someone before, it's bound to work for you!
Good luck!

I do use a different bank due to my RE's office. And they do use older donors, but they have excellent motility and count. My BFP donor was older. The donor I switched to is under age 30 (I asked). And has many success.
So, hoping November brings me my BFP!!! Now if AF would just come on!
Need to update a ticker, Silas Anthony Jordon born Oct 11, 2013. 6th baby, so much love!
But that's just my opinion.
Apparently, research is revealing that the age of a man is just as tied to the risk of Down's Syndrome as the age of the woman.
