my wife had uterus prolift surgery for prolapse. Her age is 35 years and has a baby aged 8 years. prolapse started after her first delivery which was a force up delivery. she did not conceive after that irrespective 4 ivf efforts. all the 4 ivf s failed after successful embryo transfers. what are the chances to one more baby with ART proceedurers. Is there any issue in doing more ivf s ?

Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Yes its possible to get pregnant by the ART procedures.
But you must keep in mind that the chances of success of any IVF is related to the age of the women. The chances of success decrease with increasing age.
At 35, she does have a chance but its lesser than what she had before.
The other concern is if she gets pregnant the mode of delivery has to be a cesarean delivery otherwise the chance of recurrence of prolapse is there and the prolapse surgery will loose its effectiveness.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
