[quote=Anonymous][quote]Not to be rude, but IVF stats are just that, IVF stats. It's the data of all women trying to conceive using IVF or ART. There is other data of women trying to conceive naturally and it's different based on the age of women reported on L&D and to vital statistics. I don't know why this is so difficult for you to grasp. SART which is the data base required by all IVF centers to report to keeps separate data for donor egg conceptions.[/quote]
Argh. I GET THAT.  Please, if you have to start a sentence with "Not to be rude..." it is likely you might be coming off as rude.

I'm going to skip trying to re-explain what I'm saying because there's no real point in it.

FWIW, I just checked SART. For women 41-42, the percentage of IVF cycles resulting in a live birth is 12.4. For women over 42, it's 4.1  (that's for the year 2010).

So if I were 41-42 and at a good clinic that could meet that average stat or offered even better odds, IVF might be worth it because its more than the 5 percent chance per cycle I'd have on my own.

If I were over 42 and/or not at one of those top clinics that offers good odds, it might be a harder call to make. [/quote]
