39.5–40

From the Daily Mail:

Infertile women have been told they can only have IVF treatment if they are aged between 39 and a half and 40.

The ‘cruel and bizarre’ restrictions were put in place by NHS managers in North Yorkshire struggling to deal with a huge deficit at their health trust.

It could mean women with severe fertility problems to wait years for one cycle of IVF treatment.

Between the age of 35 and 40, the chance of conception for women halves – and the heart breaking delays will further reduce the chance of having a baby for dozens of women.
