All too often, older women assume that if they've left it too late to get pregnant naturally, they can have fertility treatment and everything will be just fine. In fact, fertility treatment can't turn back the biological clock, no matter what you're told.
I've just been reading about a woman who has apparently had IVF at the age of 58 and despite being post-menopausal, was allegedly successful after a bit of "hormone treatment". The hospital concerned, it is claimed, was seeking to downplay this extraordinary event to avoid encouraging people to have children at an "advanced age". If only it were really that simple to reverse the menopause!
What's far more likely is that the woman used an egg from a donor. All too often, this is conveniently omitted from stories about much older women getting pregnant with IVF and it's that which encourages people of an "advanced age" to believe that it can surmount any age-related fertility problem...

Well, it is indeed a fact that IVF with egg donation can surmount female age-related fertility problem.
