I am with Dr. Christina Hickman from Avenue's Fertility Clinic to discuss the advancements in fertility treatments, particularly for individuals over 40.

She emphasizes the importance of understanding age-related fertility challenges, the role of technology such as PGTA and AI in improving outcomes, and the significance of mental well-being during the IVF journey.

We discuss:

• Why IVF is not a guaranteed solution for age-related fertility issues.

• How technological advancements have significantly improved IVF success rates.

• How PGTA helps identify embryos with the right chromosomes, increasing chances of pregnancy.

• How egg freezing can be a strategic option for women over 40.

• Why mitochondrial health is crucial for egg quality and fertility.

• How men's fertility issues are often overlooked but equally important.

• Why individualized IVF protocols are essential for older patients.

• Why mental well-being and joy during treatment can positively impact fertility outcomes.
