I am a 47 female and want to use my eggs with a surrogate
Q: I am 47 and have a heart condition which prevented me from having children. My husband is 40 and we would like to try and have a child using my eggs and his sperm and doing INV.
Our Expert's Answer
This information was published 10 years, 4 months ago and was correct at the time of publication. It may not reflect our current practices or regulations.
A: Using your own eggs is not likely to be successful as over the age of 43 the quality of the eggs is highly reduced, so I would not recommend treatment. You could use donor eggs with your partner’s sperm and surrogacy, and this would give a far better chance of success.
