Abstract
Female age above 42 is widely viewed as the ultimate barrier to conception with IVF. Data reported here, although small and preliminary, demonstrate that potential outcomes are better than widely perceived, while pregnancy and live birth rates remain significantly inferior to donor egg recipient cycles. However, for selected women at very advanced ages, especially with higher egg/embryo numbers, autologous oocyte IVF offers a better option than widely acknowledged, if they are given individualized age-specific care.
