What is the age limit for IVF babies?

IVF is a method of transferring embryos to other people's uterus through assisted reproductive technology, which is widely used in infertile couples. However, IVF generation is not applicable to people of all ages, and there are certain age limits. The following will introduce the age limit of IVF generation from four aspects: physiology, psychology, law and hospital practice.

1、 Physiological factors

Women have a certain reproductive period in physiology, so the age limit of IVF generation is closely related to women's age. Generally, the success rate of IVF is higher for women before the age of 35. With the increase of age, the number and quality of eggs decline, leading to a decrease in the success rate of IVF, which may increase the risk of fetal dysplasia. Therefore, many hospitals will set the limit at 35 years old or below when setting the age for surgery.

However, not all hospitals strictly comply with this age limit, and some hospitals will evaluate whether to accept IVF based on women's physical conditions.

2、 Psychological factors

IVF replacement surgery is a major decision for couples, so psychological factors are also one of the factors to consider in the age limit. Couples who are too old may have greater psychological pressure due to the increase of age, and their adaptability to surgery may decline, which may have adverse effects on the whole process. Therefore, hospitals often consider the psychological conditions of both spouses comprehensively to ensure that they can withstand and adapt to the pressure of IVF generation.

3、 Legal factors

There are differences in the laws and regulations of different countries and regions. Some places have stipulated the age limit of IVF baby generation. For example, France stipulates that women should not be older than 43 years old for IVF baby generation. In other places, there is no clear age limit. General hospitals will evaluate the age range suitable for IVF based on clinical experience and professional judgment.

4、 Hospital Practice

The practical experience and technical level of each hospital are different, and the age limit for IVF generation will also be different. Some large general hospitals may have more advanced equipment and rich clinical experience, and can undertake IVF replacement surgery for older children. Some small hospitals may be more conservative in age limits. Therefore, couples need to know their age restrictions when choosing hospitals.

Summary

The age limit of IVF generation is mainly related to many factors such as physiology, psychology, law and hospital practice. The decline of women's age and fertility is one of the main limiting factors. In addition, the couple's psychological status and local laws and regulations will also affect the age limit. Finally, the practical experience and technical level of different hospitals may also lead to differences in age limits. Before deciding to carry out IVF, couples should fully understand various factors and choose their own age range and hospital.
