How Can Elderly Women Get Pregnant? Which Method of Assisting Pregnancy Can Get Pregnant Successfully
How can elderly women conceive and which method of pregnancy assistance can successfully conceive? Compared to young women, older women are more difficult and have increased risks. Therefore, before pregnancy, older women should check their physical conditions and choose appropriate methods of assisted pregnancy. When do older women need assisted pregnancy? How to scientifically assist pregnancy?
When do elderly women need in vitro fertilization (IVF) to assist in pregnancy? Generally speaking, couples who have been pregnant for less than a year and are normal need to undergo relevant examinations. But as we all know, after the age of 35, ovarian function begins to decline, pregnancy related risks increase, and pregnancy rate decreases. Therefore, it is recommended that older women undergo relevant assessments before preparing for pregnancy, including ovarian function, uterus, fallopian tubes, and other examinations.
If a woman is over 40 years old, it may not necessarily be due to tubal obstruction or if the man's sperm is very problematic, then IVF is necessary. If a B-ultrasound or ovarian function test indicates a significant decrease in ovarian function, we may directly recommend entering the IVF treatment course. Because in the case of natural pregnancy, there is only a 10% chance of getting pregnant within a month, especially for elderly women, it is difficult to evaluate the quality of the eggs produced, which reduces the chance of natural pregnancy. In the course of IVF treatment, by promoting ovulation, one can obtain as many eggs as possible, reserve as many embryos as possible, transfer 2-3 embryos within a cycle, or select a high-quality blastocyst for transfer, which has a much higher success rate than natural pregnancy.
Therefore, in summary, it is recommended that elderly women carefully discuss with their doctors to find the most suitable pregnancy assistance method to avoid missing the opportunity for pregnancy. How can elderly women scientifically assist with pregnancy?
