Isit true that I will definitely fall pregnant with ART. Is the incidence of miscarriage higher when I conceive through ART?

We would love ❤️ to be able to gaurantee each couple who start a cycle that they would walk out many months later with a baby . It is my utopian dream to be able to do so to minimize the anxiety , time and cost that each cycle takes . Unfortunately the reality is that the success rates of IVF depends on both male and female factors . And with the female it is largely her ovarian reserve . The risk of miscarriage is also linked to maternal age. At 40 the chance of a normal egg is 1 in 10-20 eggs that are retrieved. The risk of miscarriage increases to 20% or higher in the 40s.
