Pregnancy after age 40 can be a risk to the baby

Pregnancy after age 40 can be a risk to the baby

Infertility is the inability of the couple to reach pregnancy after a year of frequent attempts, and without contraceptive methods. Among couples aged 15 to 44 years, the rate of infertile women is 13.9%. Spontaneous pregnancy, untreated, occurs more rapidly in some women than in others, depending on individual physiology or behavioral factors. More than half of the fertile women reach their pregnancies in three months of attempts and in six months, two-thirds.

Since the birth of the first IVF baby in 1978, reproductive medicine has changed a great deal. Several techniques have become part of the treatment of infertile couples, especially in the field of assisted reproduction. On the other hand, in the last few years women are delaying motherhood by dedicating themselves more to working life, increasing the number of infertile couples and making it difficult to obtain positive results.

Late pregnancy: risks increase after 35 years of age <

There is a false illusion that medicine has evolved to the point of solving all fertility problems. Thus, the greatest difficulty faced by specialists in human reproduction is the influence of age on reducing fertility.

Influence of age on infertility

"In the last few years women are putting off motherhood by dedicating themselves more to professional life , increasing the number of infertile couples and making it difficult to obtain positive results "

As the age increases, the fertility of women is decreasing due to the aging of the organism and the appearance of diseases, especially after 30 years. It is estimated that the chance for a normal woman under the age of 30 to get pregnant is 20% per month and after the 40 is only 5%. At age 34, 11% of women are already infertile; at 40, 33%. Most women have their last child at 41 spontaneously. At age 45, 87% are infertile. In addition, abortions increase with age when over 40 years is 34%.

Age also influences the positive results of in vitro fertilization. At age 30 it is 36%, at 35 it goes to 31%, at 40 it goes down to 16% and at 43 it goes to only 6% of births per attempt. For this reason, in recent years there has been an increase in indications of ovodoation. In this therapeutic alternative the woman receives eggs from a younger one that are fertilized with her husband's sperm. If the man and the woman are infertile, they can receive fertilized eggs, which are the pre-embryos (PE), of another couple, anonymously.

The possibility of birth of children with genetic alterations goes from 1/500 at 25 years to 1/70 to 40 years of age, so it is important to use the professional with experience in genetic counseling when the woman is older. There are countless factors determining female infertility, which has been increasing in recent years due to women's later conception of conception. There are several modern treatments, but the influence of age remains a challenge.

The woman is born with 300 to 400 thousand eggs, which are consumed during her reproductive life, that is, during the period that has menstrual cycles. Therefore, there is an average monthly loss of 1,000 ova, although only one month reaches maturity. Then, it is easily understood that with aging, physiologically the woman has her fertility diminished. In addition, diseases such as endometriosis, adhesions, fibroids, polyps, among others arise. One way to measure a woman's reproductive potential (ovarian reserve) is by measuring the blood pressure of the anti-mullerian hormone (AMH). This dosage gives you an idea if the woman has too many or too few eggs to reproduce. Know your body better before generating a life. Take care!
