Over-45s: clinics helping with natural or assisted cycles us

clunas · Post by **clunas** » Sun Sep 28, 2003 7:24 pm

Does anyone have advice about which clinics / doctors are willing to help a 46 y.o. try to conceive with her own eggs? I know the odds are very much against me, but I'd like to try a bit more before turning to a donor. What techniques might these clinics think realistic for a high FSH-er (11 - 21)? And has anyone had any luck with them? I'd be glad of any advice - time is really running out! Good luck to all, Clunas.

I go to a care clinic in Northampton and they seem to be good on looking at each patient individually , they have a few clinics around the country. Hope this helps Trace x

Thanks, Trace. I saw CARE in Nottingham and they were v. nice but said they couldn't really help except with donor eggs. But Northampton might be different, so I'll bear N'hants in mind! Best wishes, Jenny (Clunas)

Jenny The ARGC have the highest success rates with older women - by a huge margin. I have no idea how they would feel about treating you, but there is no harm in asking. Best of luck. Love Dee xx.
