No: but success rate declines as age increases

Maybe not...: but in all honesty IVF at age 43 has no better than a 10-15% chance of success. IVF with donated oocytes (eggs) can be very successful in this age group. I recommend strongly you meet in person with a live fertility specialist if you are seriously interested in fertility options. Good wishes to you!
