Unfortunately, female age is one infertility factor we cannot change. Research and statistics on IVF in older women as shown in the Australian & New Zealand Assisted Reproduction Database 2015 (ANZARD), indicate that the rate of live deliveries based on a woman’s age between 40-44 years was 8.9% and for those women aged 45 years or older, the rate was 0.7%. This data was based on fresh cycles that occurred in Australia and New Zealand in 2015. Based on medical evidence, Adora Fertility offers treatment to women using their own eggs up until their 45th birthday. Female recipients of donor eggs or embryos, or for those using their own eggs or embryos, frozen at an earlier age, may seek treatment up until their 51st birthday (the median age of menopause). For women over age 45, or where it is indicated by the medical history, a physician review is required to ensure safety during pregnancy. It’s best not to delay Fertility treatment. In your best interest, we recommend that you have your Fertility health checked to see if you need Fertility treatment. Our Fertility GP’s conduct an initial consultation and will coordinate a comprehensive set of medical tests to determine your suitability for Fertility treatment, including IVF.
