Who needs IVF?
While the age of the female partner certainly plays a role in a woman’s ability to conceive, infertility can happen at any age and can be caused by multiple different factors – and in some cases, a combination of factors. When asking, “Is IVF right for me?,” it’s crucial to get answers from highly experienced reproductive experts who can ensure accurate diagnosis and accurately assess your personal chances of IVF success.
IVF is often the treatment of choice in the following situations.
- If you are younger than 35 and have been trying to conceive for one year or longer
- If you are 35 or older and have been trying to conceive for six months or longer
- If you are 40 or older and want to have a baby, regardless of the amount of time you have been trying to conceive
- If you have experienced repeated failures of other fertility treatments, such as medicated cycles, intrauterine insemination (IUI) or IVF
- If you have experienced two or more miscarriages, a condition known as recurrent pregnancy loss
- If you have a diagnosis of blocked fallopian tubes, diminished ovarian reserve, polycystic ovary syndrome or severe endometriosis
- If the male partner has been diagnosed with a low sperm count; low-quality sperm; or azoospermia, a condition in which sperm are absent from the ejaculate
- If you have a diagnosis of unexplained infertility
- If either partner has a genetic disorder that they are personally affected by, or that runs in their family
- If either partner has been found through genetic carrier screening to be at risk for passing an inherited genetic disorder to future children
Thankfully, IVF is the one fertility treatment available today that can overcome even severe causes of infertility or genetic risk, allowing many people to have the children they long for.
