How Many Eggs Should You Transfer if You Are an Older Mom?

The Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology (SART) just published the results of their study that looked at how to best predict the success of a woman getting pregnant using IVF. They used data from more than 5500 IVF cycles between the years of 2000-2004 of women over the age of 37. Here is what they found…….

For 38-39 year old women, using 2 embryos instead of 1 increased the chances of getting pregnant and successfully giving birth.

For 38-39 year old women, using more that 2 embryos did not increase the chances of giving birth, however it did increase their chances of having multiple babies.

For 40 year old women, using 3 embryos increased their chances of giving birth, but did not increase their chances of having multiple babies.

For 41-42 year old women, using more than 2 embryos did not increase the likelihood of giving birth, but did increase the chances of having twins once pregnant.

Note that you are most likely to get pregnant if you time your lovemaking to occur on the days right before - and on - your ovulation date. Keep in mind that the projected ovulation date above is simply a “best guess” estimate based on your cycle date information. The most accurate way to pinpoint your most fertile time is through the use of urine-based ovulation tests or with a fertility monitor. We have partnered with Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com, the Internet’s leading supplier of preconception products since 2001, to offer low-cost, FDA-approved pregnancy and ovulation tests – with free same-day shipping.

 

Now that you’ve calculated your ovulation date using our ovulation calculator, we have a number of other helpful tools you can use to help increase your chances of conceiving.

 

  • Create your own personalized ovulation calendar! You can even provide an email address so that you receive email alerts of your most fertile days, when you can begin testing for pregnancy, and more.
     

  • Create your own personalized fertility chart! This is a highly accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation date that relies primarily on basal temperature charting. (Visit Early-Pregnancy-Tests.com for an accurate, inexpensive basal thermometer.)
