At 56, what are my chances of having a healthy baby?
Your best chances of successfully achieving a pregnancy are to utilize donor eggs. It would be my recommendation that should this be an option, you contact a reproductive endocrinologist in your area. In our practice, our cutoff age is generally 50 years old."
