What happened
A new study suggests that women face a fertility tipping point at age 49. Data indicates that success rates for donor egg treatments drop from 46% to 32% after this age, suggesting a hidden fertility ceiling for older women.
Coverage from BBC, Medical Xpress, and London Daily News emphasizes that donor eggs may not fully reset fertility. These reports link the lower success rates and poorer pregnancy outcomes to uterine aging.
Further attention is directed toward the limitations of fertility treatments for women in this age bracket, as reported by People.com and FemTech World.
