IVF after 40 years

Pregnancy after 40 is a fairly rare occurrence even if you try to conceive naturally. IVF can be a possible solution to this problem for women over 40.

For this reason the following options are used:

• Determination of AMH (anti mullerian hormone) - allows you to predict the chances of conception, although it does not affect fertility itself and decreases with age;;
• FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) - the ovarian reserve means sufficient if there is a value of 10 mIU / ml and below;;
• Antral follicles count — the follicles are counted during ultrasound examination.

At this age IVF is often performed in natural cycle, because a large number of eggs cannot be obtained during a stimulation.
