IVF After 40: Challenges and Options with Dr Ed Coats

Send us Fan Mail

IVF over 40 comes with its own set of challenges, and in this episode I'm joined by Dr Ed Coats, Medical Director at The Evewell's West London clinic, for an honest conversation about what couples can expect when they go through fertility treatment later in life.

Ed explains how age affects egg quality and IVF success rates, and why couples over 40 often face a different journey from younger patients. He shares how he approaches these challenges in clinic and the options that may help improve the chances of success. We also talk about when IVF might not be the best route, and the point at which a couple may want to start considering donor eggs.

In this episode we cover:

• The common challenges couples face when doing IVF over 40
• How Ed navigates those challenges and the treatment options available
• When IVF may not be the right choice, and why
• When to consider donor egg IVF
• Ed's advice for couples approaching 40 who are thinking about IVF

Whether you're already going through fertility treatment, weighing up your options or planning ahead, this episode offers clear, realistic guidance on trying to conceive after 40.
