35 years old...do risks out weigh benefits?From: jhc (anonymous@obgyn.net)Thu, 24 Aug 2000 17:55:05 -0500 (CDT)
Hello, I am 35 years old (nearly 36) and I am thinking about trying one more round of IVF. I have had one successful pregnancy at the age of 33 through IVF. I realize that the chances of chromosomal disorders increases at or above age 35. Do the risks of chromosomal disorders out weigh the benefits of a potential healthy pregnancy. What is the risk of a chromosomal disorder at age 36? I have a neice (my brother's daughter) that was born with Down's syndrome. Her mother was age 33 at the time of her birth and my brother was 30. Is Down's (and other chromosomal disorders) always associated with the age of the mother? Does having a neice with Down's increase my chances of also having a child with a chromosomal disorder? Any info would be helpful.
