When age isnt' a factor, a 47 year old patient's IVF success story

For Khun Siriporn, age is simply just a number. While she had been trying to conceive naturally for long period without success, a consultation and eventual detailed physical examination with Dr. Ton at long last explained the reason for her difficulties: an untreated growth in her uterus.

After undergoing a successful surgery to remove the benign tumor, plans were made to start an IVF/ICSI cycle with Dr. Ton as soon as she had recovered. One successful IVF cycle later resulted in multiple embryos reaching maturity, of which, all were sent for genetic chromosome testing. 

Upon receiving a clean bill of health, the most promising embryo was implanted, resulting in a successful clinical pregnancy 14 days later (at the age of 47!).
On behalf of everyone here at Beyond IVF, we extend our most heartfelt congratulations to Khun Siriporn and her (growing) family!

The Biological Clock

This tool indicates:

  • Natural conception per month if you have no fertility issues
  • IVF success rate at the same age
  • When to seek help after months of unsuccessful attempts

If you are concerned at any stage – we recommend booking a doctor appointment or a free nurse consultation. The sooner you make a plan the better your chances in the long term.

When to seek advice early

  • If you have polycystic ovaries, endometriosis, or have been through a cancer diagnosis; we recommend you get in touch quickly so we can talk you through all your options and give you the greatest possible chance of success.
  • If you’re a single woman considering motherhood in the future; it’s best to approach us early and consider egg freezing as this can be an option for you while you have a higher ovarian reserve and healthier eggs.

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
