| Description | To examine whether fecundity is affected by age, peripheral oestradiol (E2) measurement and reproductive potential were studied in patients in different age groups receiving ovulation induction prior to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer (ET). The term pregnancy rate of 179 patients who had reversal of sterilization following 4 different sterilization procedures was also assessed in similar age groups. In the IVF group, age did not influence maximal E2 rise prior to oocyte retrieval, number of oocytes available for fertilization, fertilization rate, miscarriage or clinical pregnancy rate up to the age of 40. Similarly, in the reversal of sterilization group, term pregnancy rate was not affected by age, but was affected by the method of sterilization originally performed. We conclude from this study that IVF and reversal of sterilization procedures may be successful in women in the later reproductive age group. |
