  I was 37 at both my IVF's.  They did AH both times.  The first time I had AH on two 8 cell embryos and BFN.  The second time I had AH on three embryos, 4 cell, 5 cell, and 6 cell and it worked.  One embryo took and then split, so i'm having ID twins.  this is a risk of AH, but a very slight one.  I'm just thankful all 3 didn't stick and split or I'd be in trouble.  

  Me (37) DH (39); PCOS changed to Unexplained, changed to DOR in 2012 (finally a correct diagnosis!); 

  Started TTC 2009 with RE after 6 months.  

  Clomid + Trigger x2; 

  IUI + Femara x1,

  IUI + Follistim x2;

  IVF #1 (MDL) February 2013- BFN.

  IVF #2 (antagonist) May 2013, First BFP of my life. 

  Identical twin miracle BOYS (!!) headed our way- due date is technically 2/4/14 but c section is scheduled for 1/7!

  I did assisted hatching on one embryo and it split. Now I am pregnant with identical twins.

  I did AH on an ESet, and I am pregnant. But I'm 30...my clinic does AH standard. Very few downsides IMHO.

Freeze-All IVF#2: May 2013 ER 5/15. 31R, 21M, 20F. 6 5AA frozen blasts. Our PGD probe was completed in late June (total of 20 weeks to develop). PGD and PGS Results came on 6/19: 3 healthy embryos (normal chromosomes and unaffected by my family's genetic disorder). FET #1: July 2013 Natural Cycle - Cancelled due to insufficient lining (only got to 7.5mm). FET #1.2: August 2013 - Medicated Cycle with Lupron & Estrogen Patches to build up lining. Single embryo transfer was 8/23. Beta #1: 240! Beta #2: 578! U/S on 9/19 at 6w4d: We saw the heart beating at 131bpm. Second U/S on 10/4 at 8w5d: We saw the heart beating at 178bpm. EDD 5/11/2014

  I did Ah at age 35 and it worked for me.  I am now over 24 weeks pregnant and the rest of my history is in my signature

  Thanks ladies it gives me hope going into my FET #2! Honestly I say this now (but I might not in a few days after I stop mourning) but I don't care if I get two sets of identical twins! I'd rather have only twins but beggars can't be choosers

  We did AH with our third fresh cycle. While it didn't work, I honestly didn't think that was our reason for it not working but we just added everything into the cycle. I believe in it though and hope it works for you!!!

  I'm pretty sure my clinic does AH automatically at each transfer.  I'm 38 and am 28 weeks pregnant with my first transfer (FET).

  You could try asking what their protocol for doing it is. We were given a choice to consent or not but told the decision is made by the embryology staff based on how the embryos look. We were told they were more likely to do AH on 3 day transfers and FETs, less likely on 5 day fresh transfers. I was nervous about doing AH since we had done ICSI and I read that both increase odds of embryos splitting.
