What to expect
Cycles in the 40s often need to be sequenced thoughtfully. Donor eggs change the success picture entirely and remain a deeply meaningful path to parenthood.
Risks & considerations
Own-egg IVF success drops significantly after 42, and live-birth rates are lower per cycle. Donor egg success rates remain very high regardless of recipient age.
