Is 36 too old to undergo IVF?

In general, undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) at age 36 is not too late. The specific analysis is as follows:

The quantity and quality of a woman's eggs decline with age, which affects the success rate of IVF. For women under 36, the success rate is approximately 40% to 50%, but it drops sharply after age 40. Therefore, attempting IVF at age 36 still offers a reasonable chance of pregnancy, meaning it is not considered late. Additionally, patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, as well as those with fertility issues, may have lower success rates. These patients can undergo IVF under medical guidance.

If patients experience any discomfort or symptoms, they should promptly seek medical attention at a hospital to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment.
