In modern society, due to food hygiene, environmental pollution and the human body's own psychological state, the phenomenon of infertility is increasing. It is precisely because of this that more and more people choose to do IVF, hoping to continue future generations through technical methods.
However, the price of IVF is expensive, and its success rate is not guaranteed. Moreover, from a clinical point of view, patients using IVF technology are basically of advanced age. For this situation, especially for women over 40 years old, their success rate in IVF may be lower, so what is the situation in reality? Hengjian Overseas learns with you.
Choose three generations of IVF technology at an advanced age!
For women over the age of 40, there is a significant decrease in the number of eggs available in their ovaries, although the amount of ovulation used increases when doing IVF. But even so, the number of eggs is still very small and the quality is very poor, resulting in poor embryo quality, and even more than half of the embryos have chromosomal abnormalities. Therefore, the success rate after embryo transfer is very low, or the possibility of abnormalities after pregnancy is also very high.

Of course, elderly patients can choose the third generation of IVF technology, so that embryo transfer can be diagnosed before embryo transfer, and normal embryos can be selected for transfer later, which has a great possibility of increasing the chance of pregnancy. However, under normal circumstances, the number of embryos in elderly patients is generally very small, so the choice is also very small.
In short, no matter what method is used, according to the overall situation, the success rate of IVF in elderly patients is still relatively low. In general, the success rate of IVF in women over 40 years old is about 5-15%, and the older they are, the lower the success rate.
Of course, it is not that the success rate of elderly patients is low, and they cannot have their own children, but they must have a healthy uterine environment and high-quality eggs, so that it is possible to successfully conceive a child. Therefore, it can be seen that as long as women have high-quality eggs, they still have a certain degree of fertility regardless of their age.
Of course, it is not recommended to do IVF at an advanced age, because in addition to the low success rate, the patient itself and the fetus also have certain dangers, so IT is still necessary to do IVF as soon as possible.
