IVF or ICSI age 40

[Londongirl84]

hello, I’m just waiting for our DNA fragmentation test to come back for my husband but I’m considering doing IVF instead of ICSI this time around. I have done IVF in the past which was successful but I was younger. Anyone have positive IVF stories at the age of 40.

Hi Lomdon Girl. I’ve known many happy families with over 40yeae old moyhers. Hopefully, your Fallopian tubes are both ok before you start, in case of any blockages that would allow any toxic fluid to drip into your womb. All the best and hope the DNA fragmentation test is fine. Diane

Hi me and my husband had same dilema in the end we decided to not waste time and money and went straight to way to IVF. It worked for us currently 19 weeks pregnant age 41.

some clinics decide on the day based on the sperm sample of they will do IVF or ICSI maybe that’s an option for you? Xx

Have you asked for zymot? When I was researching through my ivf rounds it was debatable on the effectiveness of ivf versus icsi. Some people say natural ivf is better as science doesnt fully understand the role the egg has in choosing her sperm.
