We treat women in their 40s and 50s every week. If you have been told your AMH is too low, your FSH is too high, or that it is “time to stop trying”, we will give you a clear, personal assessment of the routes still open to you.
Two things change with age: the number of eggs available in each cycle, and the proportion of those eggs that are chromosomally normal. Blood tests such as AMH, and scans counting antral follicles, estimate the first. Nothing on a form estimates you, your history, or how you respond to a well-designed protocol.
That is why we do not quote odds from a table or turn patients away on age alone. We start with a proper assessment, and then talk honestly about which of three routes fits your situation. Sometimes the honest answer is that your own eggs remain worth trying. Sometimes it is that they are not, and hearing that clearly, with a real alternative on the table, is what finally moves things forward.
If your reserve supports it, we design a stimulation protocol around your history and response, not a standard template. ICSI fertilisation is included as standard, and Dr. Sever personally monitors every scan during stimulation.
A tandem cycle stimulates your own eggs and prepares matched donor eggs in the same cycle. Both sets are fertilised, so if your own eggs do not produce a strong embryo that month, the donor embryos are ready without losing the cycle. Many patients over 40 choose this as a way to try their own eggs one more time, with a safety net.
With screened donors aged 21–25 and no waiting list, donor treatment removes egg age from the equation, which is why it is the route most often recommended to women in their late 40s and 50s. We accept donor-programme patients into their mid-50s, subject to medical assessment.

Age alone is not the answer, your assessment is. We treat women throughout their 40s, and our donor-egg programme accepts patients into their mid-50s subject to medical assessment of your general health and your ability to carry a pregnancy safely. If we do not think treatment is right for you, we will say so plainly.
Sometimes. AMH predicts how many eggs a cycle may produce, not whether a particular embryo can succeed. A low AMH means fewer eggs and often a harder road with own eggs, and we will be honest about that, but the decision should be made on your full picture: age, FSH, antral follicle count, history, and previous responses. That is exactly what the initial assessment is for.
In a tandem cycle, your own stimulation runs alongside a matched donor’s cycle. Your eggs and the donor’s eggs are collected and fertilised in the same window, so you get the chance to use your own eggs with donor embryos ready as a fallback in the same cycle, rather than facing a failed cycle and then starting again from zero.
Together, and after your assessment, not before. Dr. Sever reviews your results and history with you one-to-one and gives a straight recommendation with the reasoning behind it. Some patients try one more own-egg or tandem cycle first; others move directly to donor treatment. It is your decision, made with full information.
Yes. Single women are welcome in both our own-egg and donor programmes, with donor sperm arranged through our screened donor network.
The initial assessment can be done in a long weekend, and many patients combine it with a holiday. For treatment, most UK patients choose the 10-day package, with stimulation or preparation at home and the procedure stage in Famagusta. A full 21-day stay is available if you would rather have the whole cycle by the sea.
Tell us your age, your AMH if you know it, and your story so far. A patient coordinator will arrange a free consultation with our clinical team, and you will get straight answers.
