    Do you have an age cutoff of treating patients







    I am 44. I respond really well, getting between 16-19 eggs per retrieval. My problem is age related. I was thinking of doing mini IVF, but from all I read, with my response, I am not sure if I am better off doing another cycle. Also, I have IVF insurance. Not ready to call it a day, but not sure what the age cutoff is, if there is one, at your facility.

    Thanks.

    We generally do not perform IVF on women over 45 and those women regardless of age who we think the risk and cost of procedure is unjustifiable given their chance for pregnancy. It sounds like you have a chance given your response to stimulation allbeit much lower than our average age patients of 35/36.

    Thank for the resonse.

    By "over 45," do you mean a patient's 45th birthday or you do accept patients at 45 and have a cutoff at 46?

    IVF over age 45

    I discourage patients from doing IVF with their own eggs after age 45 due to the very poor chance for a successful outcome.
