Too old For IVF?
Q: I am 48 years old, fit and healthy. I have normal periods and test results show I am regularly ovulating. Would I be eligible for IVF treatment or would you have other recommendations?
Our Expert's Answer
This information was published 10 years ago and was correct at the time of publication. It may not reflect our current practices or regulations.
A: I would strongly advise you to have treatment using donated eggs as the chance of having a live birth at your age using your own eggs, regardless of whether you are ovulating or not, is extremely rare.
