IVF
I'm older. Do I still have a chance of having a child through IVF?

Specialist answer
Age is an important factor, but it does not mean there is no chance.
Every woman's situation is individual: the prospects with IVF depend not only on age but also on ovarian reserve, the condition of the uterus and other important indicators.
So it is not right to draw a firm conclusion from age alone. First you have a consultation, and your situation is assessed on the basis of the necessary tests. After that you will be told what IVF can offer in your case and which path is advisable.
Most importantly — don't give up hope in advance because of age.
