Assisted Reproductive Technology / In Vitro Fertilization (ART / IVF) Success is Lower in Young Women; Its Decline Begins Earlier Than Thought, Occurs at Increasing Rates
Previously, it was assumed that ART/IVF success in women using their fresh embryos remains stable until mid-30s before it begins to decline. But a new study of CDC data with almost half a million cycles disproves this and shows success is lower also in very young women, up to age 28, and declining thereafter. Age-driven decline begins earlier than at previously thought mid-30s and occurs at increasing rates. Infertile women older than 30 should not delay ART/IVF treatment, if it is their option. - April 13, 2018 - Stats of the ART
