If age is low and egg number is high, generally speaking, IVF will work. Sure PCO patients get high numbers of lower quality eggs, but besides PCO, usually if you are young with a good egg count, IVF will work and if you are older than 40 with a low egg count, it often will not.
A study published this month in the journal Fertility and Sterility is going to be a useful tool to help doctors counsel patients about anticipated IVF success rates.
The study, titled “Minimum number of mature oocytes needed to obtain at least one euploid
blastocyst according to female age in in vitro fertilization treatment cycles,” examined IVF-PGT-A treatments done over a 5 year period. A total of 2660 cycles were examined.
