Egg Donation / Egg Donor IVF

Egg Donation Treatment Procedures

Egg (oocyte) donation IVF is the treatment option for couples with female infertility factor. In many instances, the female’s egg production could be insufficient, egg quality maybe poor or the age of the patient does not allow her to conceive with her own eggs. This option is also explored when the female is already in menopause and unable to produce eggs. In this case, a healthy egg donor is chosen and her eggs are used to fertilize with the husband’s sperm. The formed zygote is then transferred into the wife’s uterus. An egg donor is the person who donates her eggs to be received by another woman who is not able to become pregnant with her own eggs. An egg donor needs to meet certain criteria. Her body mass index must be within healthy standards and the acceptable age range for a donor is between 21 and 29. In order to ensure that a donor is physically, genetically and psychologically healthy for the donation, she has to undergo a number of tests.

Practically, egg donation IVF infertility treatment works very much like conventional IVF with the five step program, but only in this case, a young donor is selected to undergo the medication treatment. Once the donor's eggs are fully grown, they are retrieved to fertilize with the sperm. The rest of the steps are identical to those of IVF.

The female patient, who is undergoing egg donation IVF treatment, however, also needs to take certain medication prior to the embryo transfer stage to make sure that the uterus is fully prepared for pregnancy.

In egg donation IVF programs, we make sure that the donor's blood group is compatible with the couple who is undergoing this treatment. The female can also choose the donor based on certain physical characteristics such as hair, eye and skin color, education and work status and ethnicity. However, due to legal restrictions of Northern Cyprus, we cannot arrange for the patients to come in contact with their egg donor. Neither we are allowed to show pictures. The egg donor remains anonymous for the entire procedure.

The cost of egg donation IVF is slightly higher than conventional IVF since it requires the use of an egg donor. However, we are able to offer this treatment program at competitively low and affordable cost levels. For more information regarding the costs, please use the contact form.

Traveling to North Cyprus

Ercan International Airport
There are frequent scheduled and charter flights out of England and other European countries to North Cyprus. More than 90 flights per week arrive at North Cyprus airport Ercan during the summer. There are 20 flights from three airports of London: Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted. Most of them arrive in the evening. North Cyprus has direct air links only with Turkey, where all planes from Europe must first touch down. From Turkey, you can choose from a number of scheduled flights from Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana and Antalya.

Passport & Visa Requirements
The citizens of European Union (EU), Azerbaijan, Turkey, USA, Canada, Mexico, Iceland, Japan, Russia, Switzerland, Norway, Israel, Azerbaijan, Australia and New Zealand do not require visa. All other nationals should check their position with regard to passports and visas with the nearest Embassy or Office of Representative of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Visitors who do not wish to have their passports stamped by the authorities on arrival in North Cyprus may request a stamped visa form which is loosely inserted into the passport and removed on departure.

Larnaca International Airport
It is also possible to arrive at Northern Cyprus via Larnaca International Airport. However, this would require some amount of travel (about one hour) to get to the crossing point to the Northern part of the island where there is further passport control at the check point. However, sometimes cheaper flights can be found flying to Larnaca Airport. We do provide complimentary airport transportation to and from both airports.

At North Cyprus IVF, we offer three alternative accommodation packages:
1- IVF Treatment + Accommodation at the Clinic’s guest house. The guest house is a newly finished luxurious 4-bedroom villa. Each bedroom is has its own TV, own minibar and own heating/cooling system. Two of the bedrooms have their own bathrooms, while the other two bedrooms have a shared bathroom. This option includes free airport transfers from the Ercan and Larnaca Airports and all ground transfers back and forth. All of your consults and sonograms are offered free of charge for the duration of your stay in Cyprus.

2- IVF Treatment + Accommodation at the 3-star City Royal Hotel in Nicosia (http://www.city-royal.com). This package includes your treatment fees, airport pick-ups from either Ercan or Larnaca Airports, ground transfers between the clinic and the hotel, 7-day hotel accommodation at the City Royal, including open buffet breakfast. Again, all of your consults and sonograms are offered free of charge for the duration of your stay in Cyprus.

3- IVF Treatment + Accommodation at the 5-star Luxurious Golden Tulip Hotel in Nicosia (http://www.goldentulipnicosia.com). This package includes your treatment fees, airport pick-ups from either Ercan or Larnaca Airports, ground transfers between the clinic and the hotel, 7-day hotel accommodation at the Golden Tulip, including open buffet breakfast. Again, all of your consults and sonograms are offered free of charge for the duration of your stay in Cyprus.

7 Tips for Success in IVF Treatment

Even though each IVF treatment is different in itself, there are a number of measures that can be taken in order to maximize your chances of success. In some cases, things that might sound small could make a world of difference in IVF treatment. So let’s be on the safe side and do our part:

1- INITIAL SCAN: Have an ultrasound scan at your gynecologist’s office. This is to make sure there are no fibroids or polyps in the uterus that could jeopardize your chances of success. Also, women who are not undergoing egg donor IVF treatment should make sure there are no cysts in the ovaries that could potentially affect their egg count/quality.

2- INVESTIGATION: If you have previously had a number of miscarriages (with or without IVF), it makes sense to investigate the cause. In most cases where women have repeated miscarriages, there is a genetic reason behind it. Some gene mutations affect your blood circulation and cause you to have a miscarriage (especially up to 12 weeks). These genetic tests include testing for mutations in MTHFR C677T, MTHFR A1298C, Factor V Leiden (G1691A), Factor II (G20210A), and PAI I 4G/5G.

3- VITAMINS: It is important that your take essential vitamins and nutrients prior to and during pregnancy. A supplement such as “pregnacare” includes Folic Acid, B6, B12 and Zinc supplements, which are proven to reduce the likelihood of a miscarriage and support healthy development of your baby. It makes sense to start using such a supplement at least a few feeks prior to your embryo transfer stage.

4- HORMONE TESTING: For women undergoing IVF treatment using their own eggs, it is important that certain hormone tests are done prior to using any IVF medication. These hormone tests include:

FSH, LH, Estradiol and Prolactine. Based on these hormone test results, we will be able to assess your ovarian reserves and egg quality. Also, it these results will be important in identifying your treatment protocol and the dose of medication that needs to be administered.

5- IVF FAILURES: For patients who have had several failed IVF attempts, with no history of pregnancy, it makes sense to have an endometrial biopsy around days 18-21 of menstrual period. An endometrial biopsy will tell whether there is any condition that might prevent implantation and a successful pregnancy. There are also other infections that need to be checked for in this case.

6- INFECTIOUS DISEASES: Prior to embryo transfer, it is vital that certain infectious disease tests are done on both parents. The purpose of these tests is to make sure the newborn does not receive any infection from his/her parents. Some of these test are routine tests, which most of you do not have, such as Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV. These can be done at our clinic prior to embryo transfer. However, some other test results, such ac CMV IgG and Chlamidia might require the use of antibiotics for a certain amount of time prior to emrbyo transfer, therefore, it is important for the female patient to have tested for CMV IgG and Chlamidia once the IVF decision has been made.

7- AVOID STRESS: One of the biggest enemies of IVF treatment is stress. Avoid stress as much as you can when going through IVF treatment. You can take up yoga classes, or join the gym or start a book club, anything that will help you avoid stress will add a couple of percentages to your chances of success.

Patient Testimonial - PGD

Dear North Cyprus IVF Center,

Thank you for your email.

Happy New Year.

We arrived in Cyprus on Monday 5th Dec2011 and returned on 14th December 2011.

Overall we were very happy with the care and the treatment we received.

The PGD did not give us clear answers hence we transferred only one embryo. (Age 41, please see success rates and information about egg quality).

Unfortunately we were not successful on this occasion as the embryo did not implant.

We have got 3 frozen embryos in the clinic.

We will be getting in touch with Dr Savas about the next step with regards any further tests etc required for the implantation failure which was the cause of an unsuccessful cycle this time.

Regards,

H.S - Manchester, United Kingdom

Please contact us if you would like to get in touch with this patient.

North Cyprus IVF Clinic - IVF-ICSI Questions

1- How do I know if IVF treatment is right for me?
This is something that would be decided with an IVF specialist. If you have been trying to get pregnant for at least a year without protection and have been unsuccessful, then it may be time to have some tests done. Infertility can be either caused by a male factor or a female factor or in some cases, caused by both.
For the male partner, it makes sense to have a semen analysis in order to check for sperm quality: sperm count, sperm motility and morphology. The semen analysis will indicate if there is any reason to suspect a male factor infertility.
For the female partner, the first round of testing would involve FSH, LH, Estradiol and Prolactine hormone tests. These tests are the indicators of the ovarian reserves and egg quality.
Even after the first round of testing, there are considerations to be made such as whether further testing would be needed, or whether IUI would be consulted prior to an IVF treatment.

2- Which tests do I need to have done prior to IVF treatment?
Your gynecologist will be able to make a better assessment based on your initial consultation. First, an ultrasound scan and a round of hormone testing will be called for. For the male partner, a semen analysis will be required. These are the standard tests. If your doctor believes that further infertility testing is necessary, then additional tests can be done.
Apart from infertility testing, IVF clinics usually ask for infectious disease testing as well. These are Anti-HIV, Anti-HCV, HbsAg, VDRL, Rubella IgG and sometimes CMV IgG. Some clinics require more tests than others, so it’s best to consult with the clinic which tests to have done prior to your IVF treatment.

3- How do I know if I can use my own eggs in IVF treatment?
Your hormone test results (especially FSH) will be indicative of the ovarian reserves. The hormone tests will allow your doctor to make an assessment of your ovarian reserves and estimate your likely response to a stimulation cycle.
Even though different clinics have different cut-offs for hormone levels, most clinics will not recommend using your own eggs with an FSH level higher than 15. In some cases, where the FSH test is inconclusive, the AMH test might be consulted.

4- What is the age limit for IVF treatment?
The age limit for IVF treatment varies from clinic to clinic and from country to country. Most clinics will not treat patients aged 45 and above while some will have an age limit of 50. Our age limit for IVF treatment is 45.

5- What does a high FSH result suggest?
Women are born with a set number of eggs. As they age the number and quality of eggs decrease. Basically FSH goes up in response to a negative feedback loop. Meaning as a woman's eggs start to diminish in quality or number, her body will in turn make more FSH to compensate for this loss. The egg itself communicates with the women's body to tell it to make certain hormones. So testing a woman's hormone levels can help determine the quantity and quality of eggs a woman has.. Anything higher than 14/15 will put the patient at a disadvantage in her response to stimulation medication. By measuring the amount of FSH, your doctor will be able to suggest specific treatments (such as in-vitro fertilization or intrauterine insemination) that could help you to conceive.

6- How do I interpret my hormone test results?
Usually, the specialist who asks you to get hormone testing will do the interpretation for you. However, what is important is to get the hormone tests done on day 3 of your menstrual period so that the results are most accurate. Most labs will give you a report with your hormone levels and reference values so that you will know whether your hormone levels are in the normal acceptable range or not.

7- Can I have IVF treatment with PCOS?
Absolutely! In fact, some women can get pregnant naturally even if they have PCOS. Most women change their diets and living styles as a permanent treatment method, and in most cases, these lifestyle changes can have a positive impact of fertility.
Women with PCOS have difficulty ovulating properly, so you may have to use medication to stimulate ovulation and to regulate your menstrual periods. Your doctor may also prescribe injections such as an HCG shot to further stimulate your ovaries. However, if these changes do not allow you to fall pregnant naturally, or if you have not responded well to conventional medication, the IVF might be called for.

8- What is the IVF success rate for women with PCOS?
As long as the patient with PCOS is subjected to a successful stimulation cycle, and as long as some good quality eggs are retrieved, women with PCOS will have no problem falling pregnant. In fact, the rate of success will not be that much different from women without PCOS.

9- How does endometriosis affect IVF treatment?
The most important handicap of women with endometriosis is reduced egg quality. As a consequence, the rate of fertilization is much lower compared to women with no fertility issues. Therefore, the main problem is creating of the embryo rather than implantation. If you have gone through a few IVF cycles without success due to fertilization failures, the most sensible option might be to opt for egg donor IVF.

10- What is the IVF success rate for women with endometriosis?
Endometriosis is a condition in which the tissue endometrium, normally lining the uterus, grows on different organs outside the uterus.
In severe cases, formation of connecting tissues around endometriosis near the Fallopian tubes or ovaries may reduce fertility. Endometriosis can affect egg quality substantially, therefore, reducing the likelihood of a woman of becoming pregnant with her own eggs. In some cases, IVF using an egg donor is the only solution for women with chronic endometriosis.

11- Does IVF medication have any side effects?
There is no consensus on the possible side-effects of IVF medication. For quite a long time, IVF medication were thought of possibly causing ovarian cancer, but recent studies provide evidence that there is no direct link between IVF medication and cancer.
If side effects are experienced, they are usually very mild and short-lasting. Some patients experience feeling emotional and/or bloated. These are directly related to the changing hormone levels within the body.

12- How many eggs are usually retrieved in an IVF cycle?
This depends on your hormone levels, ovarian reserves, and how well you react to stimulation medication. An optimal stimulation cycle should result in an average of 10-12 good quality eggs to be fertilized. This allows the patient to have an optimal number of embryos (depending on sperm quality) to transfer and perhaps to freeze for future cycles.

13- How many embryos are put back in an IVF treatment?
This would depend on the IVF laws of a country. Some countries only allow for a single embryo transfer, while some countries have different numbers for different age groups. At younger ages, you are more likely to succeed with a lower number of embryos transferred; however, as you get older, it might be necessary to transfer multiple embryos in order to achieve pregnancy.
While single embryo transfers reduce the chances of IVF success, multiple embryo transfers increase the likelihood of a multiple pregnancy, therefore, you should plan carefully when you get to that stage in your IVF treatment. At North Cyprus IVF, our embryo transfer limit is 3 embryos.

14- What happens to unused embryos after the treatment?
Most clinics will offer you the option to freeze any unused embryos for future use if you have a sufficient amount of unused embryos of good quality. You will be able to have your unused embryos frozen for future cycles at a small fee. This will give you the opportunity to have future IVF attempts with minimal preparation and costs.
If the clinic does not offer cryopreservation (freezing), or if you do not want to have your embryos frozen, they are usually disposed of, or are used in clinical trials. The IVF specialist would make this clear prior to treatment.
At North Cyprus IVF, we offer our patients the option of freezing any unused embryos they have for future use.

15- Semen analysis shows zero sperm count, can we try IVF?
Even though a semen analysis may indicate a zero sperm count, it might be the case where there are live sperm cells in the testes. This can only be identified through minor surgical procedures like TESE/TESA/Micro-TESE and the like. These procedures are used to surgically remove a piece of tissue containing sperm cells. If there are live sperm cells, they will be used in IVF treatment along with ICSI to assist the sperm with fertilization.
In cases where these surgical procedures yield no results, IVF using a sperm donor becomes the only viable option.

16- I have reduced ovarian reserves, what type of treatment is right for me?
There is no single answer to this question. There are different levels of reduced reserves. You can have sub-optimal reserves, meaning you could be producing sufficient amount and quality of eggs with a good stimulation cycle, or you could be pre-menopausal, suggesting a very low chance of success.
An IVF specialist will typically ask for your hormone test results and make an assessment accordingly. Based on your hormone levels, (s)he will be able to prescribe you the right mode of treatment and the right dose of medication for the most efficient stimulation.

Surrogacy IVF Treatment Options

We have two options when it comes to surrogacy arrangements.

1- CASS, short for Cyprus-America Surrogacy Services. This service uses an American surrogate to be recruited in the United States in one of the surrogate-friendly states. You will fill out an intended parent application form and we will be able to match you up with a surrogate that fits your criteria. Once your surrogate selection is confirmed, then our lawyers proceed with the contract preparation and the contract is sent to you to review and sign. The contract specifies all the rules of the surrogacy arrangement and includes pointers that protect both your rights as the intended parents and your surrogate's rights. The contract is backed 100% by the US legal system. Your donor is to be identified here in Cyprus based on your physical features, blood types and your surrogate's menstrual period dates. Once the donor selection is confirmed, then we proceed into the next stage where your donor and surrogate prepare for the IVF process simultaneously. Once the treatment is final, your surrogate travels back to the US and your child is delivered after 9 months. You arrive in the US to pick up your child, ready to be taken home with his/her American passport and registration papers.

2- CGSS, short for Cyprus-Georgia Surrogacy Services. This service works very much like the CASS option except that instead of utilizing an American surrogate, the surrogate comes from Georgia, the country. Our agency in Georgia handles all the legal work through the Georgian law. Donor stage is very much the same. The only difference between the two options is the country where the legal aspects are taken care of.

For more information regarding our surrogacy arrangements, please contact us.

Gender Selection (PGD/MicroSort) Questions

Why do I need to get hormone tests done if I already have children?
The hormone tests are requested in order for the Dr. to better understand the quality and quantity of eggs and provide a personalized and detailed treatment for each individual patient.

Why do I need to have an ultrasound before I begin treatment?
The ultrasound is requested in order to make sure there are no ovarian cysts, polyps or anything else that might stand in the way of a successful IVF cycle.

What is the difference between Microsort and PGD?
Microsort is a pre-fertilization gender selection method which is used to sort sperm into male and female producing cells. It is about 80% accurate for selection of a boy and 90% accurate for selection of a girl. This way, we can make sure majority of your embryos to be fertilized will be of desired sex.
PGD, on the other hand, is a post-fertilization gender selection method where the embryos that are fertilized are subjected to a genetic analysis for sex selection. Even though PGD provides 99.9% accuracy for gender selection, and it also tests for majority of possible genetic disorders, making sure your child does not have them, it cannot guarantee that majority of your embryos will turn out to be of desired sex.
The best gender selection method is to combine microsort with PGD so that you can be sure that you will have a number of embryos which are of desired sex, anda re free of most genetic conditions.

What is the HCG trigger injection for?
This shot is for women who are using their own eggs and it helps release the mature eggs from the follicles and is usually done 35 hours before egg collection. It is the final step in assisting the maturation process and ensure the eggs are released from the follicles.
This is generally done in Cyprus but can be done before traveling in order to shortent the stay.

What does Gonal F do?
This is a follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) to help increase the number of growing follicles and their development. The dosage will be prescribed based on the inital hormone test results and varies from individual to individual. This is in fact one of the reasons this test is prescribed prior to starting treatment even if the patient has no infertility issues and has conceived children successfully before.

What does Menopur do?
Menopur is also used for follicle growth and development and contains follicle stimulating hormone as well as luteinising hormone (LH). This is a combination we prefer for women older than 35 years of age as quite a large number of studies, and our experience, suggest that LH can be a good supplement for optimizing egg quality for women over 35 years of age.

Can I travel with the injections?
The injections will need to be checked in with your luggage but there should be no problems traveling with them.

Do we have to use the accommodation offered in your packages?
Some patients decide they would prefer to select their own accommodation which is no problem for us. If you would like to still take advantage of the free ground transfers however, it is preferable that your hotel be in Nicosia (Lefkosa) North Cyprus.

Why do I need to have scans during medication use?
The scans for Egg Donation patients are requested in order to make sure that the lining of the womb is ready for the embryo transfer.
The scans for women using their own eggs (IVF with ICSI and Gender Selection/PGD) is to ensure the follicles are developing well before egg collection.
It is important to let us know the results of the scans so that we can adjust your treatment schedule and medication intake if necessary.

How are the injections done?
The Gonal F injections should be done subcutaneously either in the abdomen/stomach area, naval area or upper thigh where there is excess skin and fatty tissues. It is recommended to vary the injection site.
Please watch the videos below for preparing and administering the medication.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMklbInsQGk
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AHEyyB0IKNY

When are the eggs collected?
The eggs are generally collected on day 15 of the cycle after an ultrasound and the trigger injection.

When is the embryo transferred?
We usually prefer to transfer embryos on day 18 of menstrual period, which is the best implantation window. However, days 17-20 are acceptable embryo transfer dates. If patients are undergoing PGD analysis, then the transfer is delayed by 2 days until the embryos reach the blastocyst stage and are transferred on day 20. This of course might vary from patient to patient. We can transfer up to 3 embryos at our clinic.

What chromosomes are examined with PGD?
During the PGD biopsy we test chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21 which are causes of close to 90% of abnormalities.

What happens if we have left over embryos?
Many patients will choose to freeze the embryos in case they need it in the future, other patients will ask for the remaining embryos to be destroyed or used during our clinical studies so we can keep offering you the highest quality service through our own research and clinical studies.

When do I do the pregnancy test?
The pregnancy blood test is suggested 12 days after the embryo transfer.

What happens after a positive pregnancy result?
After a positive result you will continue to take medication for 11 weeks after the embryo transfer. Normally this will be Crinone Gel (Progesterone) and Aspirin. Prenatal vitamin supplements can be used for the entire pregnancy term.

Egg Donation (Donor Egg IVF) Questions

1- Who is a good candidate for egg (oocyte) donor IVF?
Women with severely depleted ovarian reserves, women with highly elevated FSH, women in early menopause or with removed ovaries and women who have been subjected to cancer treatment are all candidates for egg donor IVF. In general, egg donation is for women who are not able to produce any eggs that are viable for fertilization.
 

2- Who are your egg donors?
At North Cyprus IVF, our egg donors are predominantly composed of international university students aged between 20-25.
 

3- How are egg donors screened?
Our egg donors undergo a very strict screening process. First, there is a psychological consultation where egg donors' mental status are assessed. If an egg donor is found mentally fit, then there is a background check of family medical history. Once the medical history is assessed, then comes infectious diseases testing, CBC analysis and hormone testing for an assessment of ovarian reserves and egg quality. Only donors who are non-smokers and with healthy BMIs are admitted into our program.
 

4- Do I get to pick my own donor?
Absolutely! You will need to provide us with your menstrual period information, you and your husband's blood types and your physical features so that we can narrow list our potential donors and send you a list of profiles. However, for anonymity purposes, we are not able to share pictures or any contact information.
 

5- What are your success rates for egg donor IVF?
Our overall success rate including all age groups for egg donation in 2011 was 72.8%. For more information on our success rates, please view our success statistics for 2011.

6- How many egg donation cycles do you perform in a given year?
On average, we perform about 350-400 egg donor IVF cycles.

7- What is the cost of egg donor IVF at North Cyprus IVF Clinic?
For most accurate cost information for egg donation including our accommodation packages, please contact us using the contact form.

PGD testing for Genetic Disorders

PGD (Pre-implantation Genetic Diagnosis) technology improves the likelihood of a successful pregnancy and birth for two distinctly different groups of patients. Couples with infertility related to recurrent miscarriage or unsuccessful IVF cycles and couples who are at risk for passing on inherited genetic disease to their offspring.

PGD genetic diagnosis is performed as a part of an In Vitro Fertilization cycle where multiple eggs are produced, retrieved from the ovaries and fertilized with the husband's sperm in the Embryology Laboratory. IVF is necessary to give us access to the embryo in vitro. At their earliest stage of development, one or two cells are removed from each embryo through a procedure called embryo biopsy. These cells are analyzed in the PGD Laboratory to determine which embryos are free of genetic abnormalities. This sophisticated and technologically advanced testing identifies which embryos are free of abnormalities and more able to achieve the patient's goal of a healthy baby. PGD can screen for genetic disorders in chromosomes X, Y, 13, 18 and 21, which make up for about 85% of all major genetic conditions such as Down's syndrome, Tay Sachs and klinefelter's syndrome and many more.

PGD tetsing is also an option when patients require screening for a specific genetic disorder. When the gene that carries the genetic disorder is identified, single gene analysis can be performed in order to screen for the specific disorder. A special PGD probe can be built for this purpose as long as the specific cause of the genetic condition has been identified.

PGD genetic testing is also an option when families would like to select the gender of their baby for family balancing purposes. The embryo biopsy will not only allow us to select embryos that are free of genetic abnormalities, but will also allow us to determine the sex of the embryos. Once PGD is performed, the chance of having a baby of desired sex is very close to 100% once pregnancy is achieved. This process is also known as gender selection (sex selection) IVF.

PGD works very much like conventional IVF. The only difference is; embryos that are formed in the laboratory are subjected to a biopsy and a series of genetic tests before transferred into the uterus. Patients undergoing IVF + PGD treatment are required to provide the same information as requested in conventional IVF. (See the "Required Tests" section for required tests).

Also see our "Gender Selection" section for performing PGD for selection of the sex of the baby for family balancing reasons.

Female Infertility Problem

A couple is considered to be infertile if:
- If the couple has not been able to achieve pregnancy after trying for a year without the use of any contraceptives if the female partner is 35 years old or younger
- If the couple has not been able to conceive after trying for six months without the use of any contraception if the female partner is above the age of 35. The difference between the two categories of women rests in the fact that ovarian reserves and egg quality tend to diminish rapidly after the age of 35.
-the female is incapable of carrying a pregnancy to full term even if pregnancy is achieved initially.

What are the causes of infertility in women? 
Ovulation problems make up for most cases of infertility in women. When there is no ovulation, then there are no eggs that can be fertilized. Some signs that a woman is not ovulating normally include irregular or absent menstrual periods.

Less common causes of fertility problems in women include:
- blocked fallopian tubes due to pelvic inflammatory disease, endometriosis, or surgery for a previous ectopic pregnancy
- physical problems with the uterus, cervical weakness and adhesion in the uterus.
- uterine fibroids, polyps and free fluids.

 

Which factors increase a woman's risk of infertility?
Many things can affect a woman's ability to have a baby. These include:
- age. With age, ovarian reserves and egg quality tend to diminish highly.
- Stress factors
- poor diet that results in inadequate receipt of the essential nutrients
- athletic training
- being overweight or underweight
- excessive tobacco consumption
- excessive alcohol consumption
- sexually transmitted and infectious diseases
- any factor that contributes to hormonal imbalances.

How does age affect a woman's ability to have children?
More and more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to have children. Actually, about 20 percent of women in the United States now have their first child after age 35. So age is an increasingly common cause of fertility problems. About one third of couples in which the woman is over 35 have fertility problems. Aging decreases a woman's chances of having a baby in the following ways:
- The ability of a woman's ovaries to release eggs ready for fertilization declines with age.
- The health of a woman's eggs declines with age.
- As a woman ages she is more likely to have health problems that can interfere with fertility.
- As a women ages, her risk of having a miscarriage increases. 

How long should women try to get pregnant before calling their doctors?
Most healthy women under the age of 30 shouldn't worry about infertility unless they've been trying to get pregnant for at least a year. At this point, women should talk to their doctors about a fertility evaluation. Men should also talk to their doctors if this much time has passed.

In some cases, women should talk to their doctors sooner. Women in their 30s who've been trying to get pregnant for six months should speak to their doctors as soon as possible. A woman's chances of having a baby decrease rapidly every year after the age of 30. So getting a complete and timely fertility evaluation is especially important.

Some health issues also increase the risk of fertility problems. So women with the following issues should speak to their doctors as soon as possible:

- irregular periods or no menstrual periods
- very painful periods
- endometriosis
- pelvic inflammatory disease
- more than one miscarriage

No matter how old you are, it's always a good idea to talk to a doctor before you start trying to get pregnant. Doctors can help you prepare your body for a healthy baby. They can also answer questions on fertility and give tips on conceiving.
