    Kim - your age will potentially work against you for anon donation, but i'm not sure how it would go with known donation...

    call the local clinic (again) and harrass them. either that, or check out their website (or the donor websites that are around - i'm sure you will find reference to them in this section) to get more information on age limits. from memory, for anon donation the age cut off is something like 35 or 38 - really not sure on known donation though
    Kim it is lovely of you to consider such a generous act.

    BG has offered excellent advice. Unfortunately once you are past 35 egg quality starts to decrease quite significantly and at 40 you will probably be considered too old (sorry!). However, it really depends on the situation and the clinic. My sister is my ED and she turns 37 this year.

    Good luck in your endevours!

    ETA: I am so sad to hear the clinic never got back to you. There are so few EDs in Australia and every possible donor is a precious gift. It is really irresponsible of them.
