I am 48 years old, am I candidate for ICSI?

I have a 6yr old son from ICSI and want to try for another. I am 48yrs old and live in Aruba. Would any fertility clinic perform this procedure on me at my current age? Would I be able to use my own eggs?

Absolutely not with your own eggs. Your best chance of success will be with donor eggs only.

Unfortunately, at 48 years of age, the chance of a normal conception with your own eggs is less than 1%. Most clinics would not recommend trying, but if you are in good health, you may be able to use donor eggs.
