Today’s fast-paced lifestyle has made many couples in their late 30s consciously delay pregnancy. However, when they start planning and think of IVF, the most common question that they have is: What are my real chances with IVF? Clinics often showcase their expertise through high success rates, but couples need to know that IVF success depends on many factors, such as age, egg quality, and overall fertility health. For women aged 38-40, pregnancy chances after 40 are noticeably lower compared to those in the younger age group. Read this interesting blog by IVF experts of the best IVF centre in Delhi, Gunjan IVF World, to know more.
What is the average IVF success rate age 40 India?
“That is a very common question patients ask me. Well, based on the clinical data available, approximately 20-30% is the average IVF success rate per cycle for women aged 38-40 years. This means that approximately the live birth rate IVF is 20-30 out of 100 IVF cycles. However, these numbers vary depending on individual factors,” mentioned Dr Gunjan Gupta, the best IVF specialist in Indirapuram and the Founder & Medical Director of Gunjan IVF World – a leading IVF clinic in Ghaziabad. Gunjan IVF World is the fourth-time winner of North India’s best IVF clinic chain award by the Economic Times and has four highly advanced IVF centres in Ghaziabad, Janakpuri, Noida and Meerut.
Why do success rates drop after 38?
Age plays a very big role when it comes to the success of IVF. There are a few biological reasons behind this.
Declining quality of eggs: “As women age, there is a steady reduction in the number of genetically healthy eggs. This leads to one of the most common IVF risks over 40, i.e., increased chances of embryos with chromosomal abnormalities.,” stated Dr. Garima Sharma, the best IVF specialist Janakpuri and Consultant & Center In-Charge of Gunjan IVF World, a well-known fertility clinic in Janakpuri West.
Lower ovarian reserve: Another reason for reduced success is low AMH levels age 40. Women of this age group usually produce fewer eggs during stimulation, which reduces the number of embryos available.
Higher risk of miscarriage: In cases of IVF over 38 Delhi NCR, miscarriage risks are higher even if implantation occurs, because of chromosomal issues in embryos.
What are the chances of success of single embryo transfer?
“Many couples assume that IVF will work in the very first attempt. But, that does not always happen. Women who are in the age group of 38-40, usually have 20-30% chances of success in the very first attempt. Success rates may increase if two to three cycles are combined because multiple embryos and attempts can improve the probability,” suggested Dr. Garima Sharma of Gunjan IVF World, best IVF center near me in Janakpuri.
Why do some clinics claim higher success rates?
“We always come across patients who tell us about clinics advertising 60-70% success rates. We tell them that these numbers may not be true and might refer to selected patients with better fertility conditions, younger age groups, success after multiple cycles, cases with donor eggs, etc. We advise our patients to always look for statistics like pregnancy rate or live birth rate per cycle,” stated Dr. Gunjan Gupta, a leading IVF doctor of Gunjan IVF World, an IVF center in Delhi.
Factors that can help improve IVF chances at 38-40
Success rates may vary depending on health conditions. However, the outcomes may improve if
- Ovarian reserve is still good
- Sperm quality is normal
- Uterus is healthy
- Advanced techniques like PGT (genetic testing) or blastocyst transfer are used
- Lifestyle factors like maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress and avoiding smoking & drinking are taken care of
When donor eggs are considered?
Couples, where the woman is 40 or above, might prefer IVF with donor eggs. If donor eggs vs own eggs stats are considered, success rates sometimes reach 50-60% per cycle with donor eggs because the eggs come from younger donors. However, using donor eggs completely depends on the couple’s preference and medical advice.
