Do ART success rates differ among women of different ages?
A woman's age is the most important factor affecting the chances of a live birth
when her own eggs are used. Figure 11 shows both the pregnancy and live birth
rates for women of different ages who had ART procedures in 1997. Among women in
their twenties, both pregnancy and live birth rates were relatively stable;
however, both rates declined sharply from the mid-thirties onward as fertility
declined with age.
