IVF and ovodonation can be options for women in their 50s who want to conceive. However, the success rates of these methods decrease with age, and risks are associated with both. IVF involves using a woman’s own eggs, while ovodonation involves using donor eggs. The success rate of IVF declines with age, and the success rate of ova donation may be higher, but it comes with ethical, legal, and emotional implications.
