Should 40-year-old women do in vitro fertilization?

According to recommendations, the best age for women to perform IVF is before 35. At that time, the reserve and quality of the ovaries are at their best, avoiding risks for mother and child.

If women aged 40 undergo in vitro fertilization, the success rate will be low, about 15%, because at this age, the reserve and quality of the ovaries are poor, leading to lower quality of the embryo. On the other hand, women over 35 years old when pregnant may have some genetic abnormalities in the embryo. Therefore, doctors always recommend that women over 35 years old should limit pregnancy and childbirth.

Pregnancy in the case of IVF is no different from natural pregnancy. Usually in the case of IVF, pregnancy is supported by hormonal drugs for at least the first 3 months, depending on the pregnancy history or the mother's medical condition, the doctor may prescribe additional support. To know more about your case, you should go to a reputable hospital with infertility specialists to be examined and consulted by a doctor more specifically.
