Do IVF clinics have an age cut off?

Some Sydney fertility clinics do have a cut-off for IVF treatment. However Fertility First will not discriminate against age and have no age cut off for treatment. We will provide accurate and supportive guidance during your fertility journey and ensure that you are offered the best chance to help you fall pregnant.

Statistics have shown that many women are waiting longer to start a family, whether that’s due to personal decisions, work commitments, or just not being able to find the right person to settle down with. Similarly, statistics have also shown a rising surge of women who are forced to travel overseas to use donor eggs donated by younger women when all other avenues have failed.

As egg donation is only viable through IVF treatment for many women in their 40s, it can be a highly emotional and expensive process to endure in order to start a family. Our fertility specialists will assess the best treatment options for you to give you the best chance of being able to fall pregnant naturally.

Fertility First will also offer premium donor egg treatment to patients who cannot fall pregnant naturally at an affordable price, without having to travel overseas.

FAQ

How does Fertility First keep fertility treatment and IVF costs down?

As a Doctor-owned Medical Practice, our fertility and IVF treatment costs do not need to cover overheads and/or shareholder dividends, all of which have to come out of the income derived from patients’ treatment cycle fees at other fertility clinics in Sydney.

What is the NSW fertility treatment rebates?

From the 1st October 2022, the NSW Government announced a rebate of $2,000 in OOP expenses for all eligible patients. Fertility First is pleased to support the NSW Government’s fertility rebate at our Sydney fertility clinic.

What makes Fertility First different to other Sydney fertility clinics?

Fertility First is privately owned, which means we can place more focus on our patients. We offer a holistic approach to fertility and believe that it’s important to minimise the invasiveness of the fertility testing process and only carry out the necessary investigations, maximising your chance of a successful outcome. We offer extensive preliminary fertility testing, including Halosperm Assay.

We were one of the first Sydney fertility clinics to offer a donor sperm and donor egg program, thanks to our partnership with Central IVF.
