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?

If you need a more detailed response, tailored to you, we would recommend a consultation with one of our Fertility Specialists for more comprehensive medical advice.

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.
