Is it safe to have mitochondrial embryo donation at 44 years of age?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

In your case, medical treatment for raising AMH (anti-mullerian hormone test) levels can be offered before opting for an IVF (in-vitro fertilization) or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) procedure. Also please share the online hormonal balancing option which you have come across.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Thanks for the follow-up. If you have been menstruating regularly as on date, then AMH can be improved after reviewing your DHEAS (dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) levels. HCG injections have been used for oocyte priming before IVF or ICSI procedure but they do not affect AMH levels. In your case, DHEAS with Vitamin D3 supplementation and NOVELON tablet (ethinyl estradiol with Desogestrel) for continuous two cycles should be offered and then AMH levels can be rechecked. But DHEAS levels and 17OHP (17-hydroxyprogesterone) levels are mandatory to be learned before the initiation of therapy. Regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Hello, I would like to state that mitochondrial DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) transfer is considered an option for those women who have mitochondrial DNA disease, which is being passed on to her by her mother and so forth running in generations. AMH levels or ovarian reserve pertaining to age group has nothing to do with it. Unless you have a mitochondrial DNA disease and suffered from multiple miscarriages or non-viable pregnancies because of it, then it can be an option. But if your oocyte quality is fine or improved by medication then you can opt for an ICSI procedure with your own oocyte rather than opting for a donor egg and then an ICSI procedure (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). If you do not succeed with your own egg, then opt for a donor egg and IVF procedure. Regards.
