Age and fertility treatments?

< p > Medical assistance for procreation is not a magic wand as the age of the couple increases. < / p > < p > In France, the average age for AMP support varies between 32 and 34 years old. Beyond 40 years old, the "reasonable" chances of success only apply to women with a "satisfactory ovarian reserve" and a "normal uterus". In fact, even when all parameters are normal, AMP only allows for limited results as the woman's age increases. Overall results for AMP techniques (IVF, ICSI, and IAC) are stable until 35 years old. The decline in success rates begins at 35 and becomes more pronounced at 37. For IVF or ICSI, pregnancy and delivery rates are 20% and 15% before 35 years old, 16% and 12% at 38 years old, 14% and 9% at 40 years old, and 9% and 6% at 42 years old. < / p > < p > Of course, from the age of 42, egg donation can be considered. In France, the maximum legal age to benefit from it is 43 years old, while in Spain there is no law prescribing an age limit, but patients over 50 years old are generally refused entry to fertility clinics. < / p > < p > < / p >
