In vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates decline with age? Duhh!?

Last Published / updated on 01/08/2005Yesterday, the CDC released a statement along with the results of the 2002 in vitro fertilization (IVF) statisitcs for U. S. in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs. The statement indicated that in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates decline with increasing age of the female. Well no kidding. The fact that fertility declines with female age has been known for a long time. In particular, it has been known that in vitro fertilization (IVF) success rates decline with age. In fact, every year the CDC has published the clinic success rates the same decrease has been found. This is not news!!
