Women over 40, or with evidence of early menopause [premature ovarian failure] egg donation is the option. Eggs from a younger woman are likey to result in pregnancy and less likely to end in miscarriage even when carried by an older woman [link- egg donation].

* Embryo donation:
If the male partner also has a sperm problem embryo donation is a right option (link- Egg donation )

* Surrogacy:
A surrogate is a woman who agrees to become pregnant for a couple using the male partner’s sperm and her own egg (traditional surrogate) or using the male partner’s sperm and the female partner’s egg (gestational surrogate) (link – surrogacy )

* Adoption and Faster care:
Another option for having a family is adoption. Agencies have different rules regarding age and are now more receptive to older couples. There are generally no age restrictions for private adoptions.

* Accepting Child-free living:
It is important that couples consider the options of remaining child free if they are unable to have their own child or if they decide to forego infertility treatment.
