Ditto-I had babies at 42 and 44 after undergoing IUI at Shady Grove. I would go in for a consult, they can give you insight into your specific situation all the stats in the world will not.

I did 3 rounds of mini IVF at New Hope in NYC at age 43 with my own eggs. Delivered identical twins at age 45. Did acupuncture the whole year. Good luck!

I have two kids via IVF from shady grove at age 42 and 44 though I did need to use donor eggs, but there are many women who used their own eggs successfully, it depends on your situation. Good luck!

This is very encouraging! Thanks for sharing! Can I ask if they did a mini IVF for you? Thanks again


I'm not sure what a mini IVF is, so I'm guessing they did not do that. I did two rounds of IVF to have both of my kids.

I would recommend starting at a reputable center here (probably Shady Grove) and seeing how you respond to IVF. You may do great! However, if you are a poor responder/have diminished ovarian reserve, you should look at clinics in NYC or CCRM Lone Tree.

FYI, Dr. Humm is at Shady Grove and she used to be at GW, which I think was a good clinic for older women/DOR. I would consider seeing her specifically and asking about 3-day transfers. (If you don’t retrieve many eggs or great many embryos, 3-day transfers may increase your odds but many doctors don’t do them.)

Yep, you're the normal patient base for fertility clinics.

All of them. You are normal in DC! I used Shady Grove, same age as you when I went.

Hello!
I’m 41 years old, which in the fertility arena, is considered pretty old
Please let me know if you are aware of any fertility centers in the area that have a reputation of serving this age group.
Thank you
