Other options:
Older age of the female partner: can use donor eggs
Parents are carriers for genetic disease that could be transmitted to the child (Cystic Fibrosis, muscular dystrophy). IVF can be utilized to create embryos and then test the embryos to see if they are affected by the disease in question.
Gestational surrogacy: Women has a medical condition that makes carrying a child dangerous to her health, or has a condition that makes it impossible for her to carry a pregnancy. In many of these cases, we can create embryos using her own eggs and then transfer one embryo into another women’s uterus.
Oncofertility: Preserve eggs or embryos prior to receiving cancer treatment that is harmful to the ovaries.
Elective fertility preservation: because fertility declines with age in women, an increasing number of women are choosing to freeze eggs until they are ready to start a family.
Approximately 1 in every 100 babies born in the U.S. was conceived through IVF.
