Women Hit Fertility Tipping Point at 49 Even with Young Donor Eggs The notion that donor eggs can "reset" a woman's reproductive clock has long been touted as a solution for older women seeking to conceive.
However, new research published in a medical journal suggests this idea is flawed, indicating that even with young donor eggs, the chances of success decline sharply after age 49.
A study of over 1,700 women who underwent IVF treatment found that those aged 49 and over had double the risk of miscarriage compared to their younger counterparts.
