My egg retrieved at age 39 is now a lively toddler. You still have a good chance at 38.

My daughter is from an egg retrieval done two weeks before I turned 39. I’d had 3 miscarriages before her, as well as long spells of being unable to conceive.

My egg retrieved a month before my 39th birthday is now a lively 3 year old. And, incidentally, the results of that final cycle of IVF at a private clinic aged nearly 39 were way better, in terms of quality and quantity of embryos obtained, than the results of the first cycle I had aged 37 on the NHS.
