VERGARA-QUINTERO, Felipe et al. Is reaching fifty the limit for oocyte donation in postmenopausal women?. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2010, vol.61, n.2, pp.146-150. ISSN 0034-7434.

Introduction: the number of females who now postpone their decision to become pregnant is increasing and the number of couples who use reproductive medicine programmes becomes greater every day. Oocyte donation has enabled postmenopausal women to become pregnant, even though no consensus has been reached concerning the maximum age for receiving such treatment. Objective: it is proposed that a maximum age limit be imposed for receiving a donation, due to increased upbringing time. Conclusion: patients should only be offered the chance to receive ovodonation up to age 50 due to the pertinent upbringing time occurring later in life.

Keywords : pregnancy; postmenopausal; oocyte donation; obstetric risk; upbringing time.
