Can I still donate my eggs even though I have passed the cut-off age?
I'm 35 years old. If my sister still wants my eggs, can she use them even though I have passed the 32-year-old cut-off age?

In the case of a sister donating eggs, there is not a cut-off age. The odds of success need to be carefully evaluated. Generally, outcomes would be lower than for a donor in her 20's. It is a wonderful gift if you do this.

As long as you have normal ovarian function, most IVF centers allow sister-to-sister egg donation above the cut-off age you described.

Yes, you may donate eggs to your sister. The cut offs are for anonymous "volunteers."
