Can a baby over 40 be an in vitro?
With changes in fertility policy and the trend towards later marriage and later childbearing, many people choose to consider the issue of childbearing after age 40+, but at the same time face a decline in body function and a decline in ovarian reserve function. So, can a baby over 40 be an in vitro?
It is true that there are certain conditions for the treatment of infertility in in vitro-baby technology. First, we need to meet the conditions of documentation, and second, we need to meet the conditions of adaptability, and there are no upper limits to the age limit.
Although there are no specific limitations on age, we need to determine whether the individual ‘ s physical condition is appropriate or inappropriate, as each individual ‘ s physical condition is different, so age cannot be a defined factor, depending on the patient ‘ s own circumstances.
For example, in the case of good and poor ovarian reserve functions, AMH is too low, and if fertility is too low and there is very little hope for in vitro baby treatment, then it will not be recommended. There is also hope for treatment, even though it is over 40 years of age, if fertility is still sufficient.
The rate of convalescence is lower for older patients than for younger patients, because it is affected by factors such as reduced ovarian reserve function, reduced sperm quality, chromosomal abnormalities, lower embryo quality, etc., which can lead to a decrease in embryo-bed rates for older in vitro babies.
But it is not that patients with too much age are directly prevented from doing in vitro baby work, which depends on specific circumstances, such as those who are older, 40 or 45 years old, but have better ovaries and menstruation cycles, which can also be tried.
Moreover, according to the current treatment in my hospital, the pregnancy rate for treatment over the age of 40 is still a success, probably just to say that the rate is relatively lower, a normal phenomenon in a clinical reproductive centre.
The above is an introduction to the question of whether in vitro babies can be used over 40 years of age. If you have more questions about infertility or artificially assisted pregnancy, you can leave a message or search Kunming Aveveve Hospital for more information.
