[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Responders should have to be 40+ in order to answer questions of those 40+ asking questions. [/quote] Why?[/quote] OP asked about ART options and 19:17 suggests trying naturally. That might be okay advice for someone 34, but not 44. [/quote] Many doctors argue that IVF does help - or doesn't justify the cost - after 43 or so.[/quote] What is the reasoning behind this?? [/quote] The reasoning is that the number of good eggs is so small that you not going to catch any even in a stimulated cycle. if your natural odds of success are 0.2%, even if you increase them tenfold (very unlikely because at that age few are going to have 10 eggs even with all the stims) you are still only at 2%. For most people, that is not worth it. Of course somebody will always succeed and many have children at that age naturally.However, that population is different from those seeking IVF.[/quote]
