Having a cycle day 3 FSH level will tell you if you still have a reservoir of healthy eggs. The cost for IVF varies greatly throughout the US. I don’t know what the cost for IVF is in England.

Is there a test that you do to see if the eggs are good. I really want a child with my new husband and i know in England they are a bit funny about older women and IVF or have other children also what is the cost for IVF? Many thanks you all do a great job.

I was told by an IVF doc, that my chances with IVF were under 5%. Maybe I’m in denial, but my fsh level was 10 (normal) but my AMH level was very low. I am 42 soon to be 43 and I’m having my tr on 5/18 with Dr. B. I would like to be positive, but I must be realistic. How long do you wait after tr for the next step? I have regular periods, always have, have 1 daugher 16 and twins naturally 14. What are my chances for one more?

Brenda
As long as you have regular periods then pregnancy is always possible; however, at the age of 49 IVF using donor eggs provides the best chance of having a pregnancy. Pregnancy rates with natural conception at the age of 49 is extremely low- less than 1% chance. When using donor eggs and IVF pregnancy rates can be as high as 50% at the age of 49.

I was told by my doctor that I cannot have a baby because I am 48 yrs old. I had my tubes tied when I was 22. And I have been thinking about one more child. Is it possible for me to get pregnant at the age of 49?
