There is a worldwide tendency to postpone childbearing. The reasons include personal socioeconomic and cultural improvement, the need to provide for the means and structure to ensure the wellbeing of a baby, life goals such as travelling first and having children later, and waiting for an ideal partner, to name a few (Mills et al., 2011). It is not different in Brazil. Findings from a study published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE, 2017) showed that the fertility rate in Brazil in 2016 (the mean number of children born by each woman of childbearing age) was 1.73 versus 2.44 at a global level (Statista, 2018). The vast majority of people - including individuals looking for specialized care to have children - believe that assisted reproductive technology can help anyone (Wyndham et al., 2012) with or without reproductive disorders related to gamete quantity and quality and, therefore, tend to refuse treatment options with donor oocytes, sperm or embryos. Although the media often showcases stories of babies born from mothers beyond childbearing age, one should not make wrong assumptions about human natural reproductive performance (Mills et al., 2015).
