It is pretty common that couples and individuals begin looking into Assisted Reproduction when they went

through a number of failed IVF cycles. Not only it is emotionally and psychologically damaging, it may be

financially draining. In the USA, the average IVF cycle may cost up to $20,000. So 4-5 IVF cycles may leave

the family financially broke.

There are indeed very clear predictors of IVF success. Two major factors need to be considered prior to

beginning an IVF cycle:

IVF FAILURE FACTOR 1: Egg Quality that is translated into age factor and antral follicle count or base follicul count

IVF FAILURE FACTOR 2: Implantation Failure

According to the research done by Advanced Fertility Center of Chicago in Chicago,IL, IVF outcomes can be

predicted. Female age is very important considering success of getting pregnant via IVF. The real issue is egg

quantity and quality - which translates over to embryo quality after fertilization. Increased infertility with

age is a well documented problem and very apparent in modern society. As women wait longer to have children,

a higher percentage of couples have fertility problems because of the quality of the eggs, and other issues that

affect fertility and are more common in older women.

DO I NEED DONOR'S EGG?

Women's liberation has brought many advantages to women. However, as women increasingly delay

childbearing, our society has done a very poor job of educating people about the decline in female fertility with

increasing age. Too many couples learn about the impact of age when it could already be too late for them.

Many couples end up needing advanced treatments such as IVF to help overcome the age related decline in

egg quality. If they had tried to have a baby years sooner, good old-fashioned "sex in the bedroom" could have

built the family.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine said it well: "As women delay childbearing, there is now an

unrealistic expectation that medical science can undo the effects of aging". Successful pregnancy outcome

with treatment is very much related to female age - when using the woman's own eggs. When donor eggs are

being used, the age of the egg donor is the important issue.

With egg donation, the age of the recipient woman does not seem to affect the chance for success.

This means that the age of the egg is very important, but the age of the uterus is not. See the graph below for

more on this. The age of the male partner does not appear to matter nearly as much. This is related to the fact

that all of a woman's eggs are present at birth. They can not divide or be "resupplied", whereas sperm are

produced constantly after puberty in men. Eggs age over time, while new sperm are constantly coming off the

production line. Sperm from older men does not usually have a substantially reduced fertilizing potential as

compared to sperm from younger men. However, older men often have less interest in frequent intercourse,

which can be a factor in chances for conception.

Not only we can predict the IVF for a give age group, there are some tests that will allow to calculate how

many eggs will be retrieved for the patients by using Antral Follicle Test.
