Mother (a retired doctor) not very keen that I go for IVF?

I am posting this here because I am torn between the wish to have my own child and my Mother's genuine concern and fear for me. My mother is a retired doctor, not a specialist, but retired as a senior gynaecologist in a small town in North India where medical practice was not as commercial as it is in bigger cities nowadays. She worked for a government hospital and never did any kind of private consultation. She retired almost 10 years back. Since then she just sits at a charity hospital voluntarily without any payment for 1-2 days in a week. I know that for me I can get the most genuine advice from my Mom. And her advice to me is to not go for IVF. In her experience she has seen how IVF takes a toll on woman's body. She is not putting any pressure on me and DH to not go for IVF, she has told me that this is entirely both our (me and Dh's) choice, but as a mother and a doctor she would not want me to go for IVF. I can understand her concern, the way I am pining for my own child and pray to have a healthy baby someday, my mother is concerned for me.

But I am completely inclined towards an IVF in case nothing else works. Yet do not know how to assure her or argue with her, given that she is herself a doctor and I value her advice above all. She accepts that she is not in touch with the latest medical advancements, but in her experience has seen number of cases where pregnancy was completely ruled out but couples ended up having a healthy child. She keeps telling me that this is something only God and nature can make happen.
I am totally confused and do not know what to do. I have been thinking that will go for IVF if nothing works. I see that so many couples have gone for IVF and had babies. But I do not want to hurt my Mom too. I sometimes feel that she is actually right, no one except God can give us a child, but at other times I feel that she is no longer a practicing doctor and hence does not know how far medicine as a field has gone. I am looking for opinions and thoughts from all here, those who have gone through IVF successfully and those who decided not to go for it.
