I am 42 years old and I want to get pregnant…
⠀
🤔
Can I do it myself?
Or only with donor eggs?
⠀
After 40 years, pregnancy in a natural way is possible, but every year the chances of conceiving a child decrease and certain risks appear that every woman should be aware of:
⠀
after 40 years, the quality and quantity of eggs decreases, and therefore the chances of getting pregnant also decrease
⠀
the effectiveness of IVF is sharply reduced due to chromosomal pathology in the embryos (donor eggs may be required)
⠀
during pregnancy, it may be difficult to bear a child, which means that the risk of miscarriage is very high
⠀
with age, chronic diseases and various diseases accumulate, which can also negatively affect conception and pregnancy.
⠀
❗️It is very important that a woman who decides to become pregnant at a later age, receive advice from a reproductive specialist and genetics, and undergo a medical examination.
⠀
When conducting an IVF program, it is necessary to carry out preimplantation genetic testing of embryos in order to exclude numerical violations of chromosomes.
⠀
If a woman does not plan to implement her reproductive plans until the age of 35, then it is necessary at the age of 30-35 to think about “delayed motherhood”, i.e. freeze oocytes (eggs) to be able to become pregnant at a later age🌸
