This couple spent 20 years trying to get pregnant, with the wife undergoing 15 unsuccessful IVF cycles in 20 years. Reading between the lines, it means anywhere from $250k - $500k spent on fertility (estimating cost of 15 cycles) !!!! It was so hard because the husband didn’t have detectable sperm in his ejaculate, a condition called azoospermia. A new AI algorithm finds the few sperm and separates them so they can be used for IVF https://time.com/7291154/doctors-report-first-pregnancy-new-ai-procedure/

why? if they got it after 19 years of trying I think you can manage to do it in a shorter time. lot's of people have children at older age. my grandma had my father at 40+
