Does IVF work better if you’re younger?

For context, I’m a lesbian teenager. I’m not very optimistic about what my dating life will be like later on, and I don’t want to let my future be dependent on a hypothetical partner. I’m planning on having my first kid around 23-25 no matter what happens. The end goal is to have 4 girls all spaced 1-2 years apart between each other.

My main question is — will IVF work differently depending on how old you are? I’ve seen lots of sad stories of failed transfers and all of that, and how those things failing pushed back the timeline by months / years. But all those stories were people ages 35 and older. Will this be a concern for someone younger? I know that anything can happen, but I need to know if / how I can prepare for this. Thank you all!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for all your advice. I’ll be keeping all that in mind :) Have a good week!!
