IVF Success for 38+

[LaurettaVIrving]

I am 38+ and I am scheduled for IVF next month. For some reasons I have had to put off having a child till I was 35. But even after a lot of effort and meeting infertility professionals, I have been unable to conceive till now. Have any of you had a successful IVF at 38 or older? Please share your experiences so that I can at least know where I stand.

Do not worry on this score. Like Louise I too have seen women over 35 in fact over 40 conceiving through IVF. So long as hormonal tests are great and your ovarian reserve is still good and strong your chances are pretty good. Good luck to you, everything will be just fine.

I'm 38, have endo which meant I had an ovary removed and then persued ivf. Got 5 eggs from my battling ovary, 3 were mature and all went to blast with one being transferred and another in the freezer. Now 22 weeks pregnant with that first transfer.

My amh was 8.88 which apparently is half what it should be for my age but then I've only got half the equipment!

Ivf is such an emotional rollercoaster. Good luck in your journey x
