older mums and fertility treatment - info for mears' sister

My sister is 43 years old and is about to embark on fertility treatment.

She is not sure that she is getting the best advice (she is a research scientist and has scoured all the papers).

She has been advised to attempt super ovulation and IUI, but sh efeels that she might be better opting for IVF. She is concerned that if she produces more than 3 eggs theywill defer treatment where she would prefer they harvest eggs and attempt IVF. In the literature she has read, no woman of her age has had a multiple pregnancy even when more than 3 eggs have been implanted (huge trial in USA).

Does anyone have experience of fertility treatment over the age of 42 years?

AF has just arrived and I have booked to go and see the UCH clinic in three weeks' time (they would have offered me an earlier appt even, but I am on holiday in mid-Aug). Thanks for the advice.
