What is IVF?
IVF-ET (In Vitro Fertilization and Embryo Transfer) is an assisted reproductive technology, which realizes the process of pregnancy and pregnancy by in vitro fertilization and embryo culture of female eggs and male sperm in the laboratory, and then transferring high-quality embryos to the female uterus.
Age restrictions on IVF
The age limit of IVF mainly depends on the physical and physiological conditions of women, as well as the regulations of doctors and hospitals. Generally speaking, the best childbearing age for women is between 20 and 35 years old, because the quality and quantity of eggs for women are relatively good at this time. However, the development of IVF technology has relaxed the age limit, and now more women over 40 can be seen to successfully conceive through IVF.
In some hospitals, in order to ensure the success rate of IVF and the health of mothers and infants, doctors may recommend women to carry out IVF under the age of 35. This is because the fertility of women decreases with age, which may affect the success rate of IVF.
In addition, women also need to carry out a series of physical examinations and assessments before IVF to ensure that they are healthy and have a suitable uterine environment to support pregnancy.
The relationship between the success rate of IVF and age
The success rate of IVF is closely related to the age of women. Generally speaking, the younger the age, the higher the success rate of IVF. Among women under 35, the success rate of IVF is usually between 30% and 60%. However, with the growth of age, the quality and quantity of female eggs will decline, leading to a decline in the success rate of IVF. Among women over 40 years old, the success rate of IVF is usually about 20%.
However, age is not the only factor determining the success rate of IVF. Other factors such as women's physical health, uterine environment, sperm quality and the technical level of doctors and hospitals will also affect the success rate of IVF.

The above are just some examples of domestic IVF hospitals, and many other hospitals also provide IVF services. Choosing the right hospital is an important guarantee for the success of IVF.
summary
To sum up, the age at which IVF can be carried out mainly depends on the female's physical condition and the doctor's advice, which is generally recommended to be carried out below 35 years old. However, with the development of IVF technology, women over 40 can also successfully conceive through IVF. Age is one of the important factors affecting the success rate of IVF. The younger the age, the higher the success rate. However, in addition to age, there are other factors that will also affect the success rate of IVF, including physical health, uterine environment, sperm quality and doctors' skill level.
When choosing a hospital for IVF, we can consider some well-known IVF centers, such as the Reproductive Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the IVF Center of Renji Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, and Guangzhou Family Planning Research Institute.
