Want to postpone pregnancy? Today this is possible with some techniques

More and more we see women who postpone the dream of being a mother. After gaining important positions in the labor market, courses, travel, and, finally, increasing their independence, many of them prefer to focus on their career and studies before they start motherhood. Nowadays it is common to see women who become mothers for the first time in their 40s, which had not happened for some years.

Even with important advances in medicine, late pregnancy can generate some problems, since the index reduces fertility significantly after 35 years. Besides the decrease in reproductive capacity after 35 years, since the quantity and quality of the eggs decrease, there is another laughing factor that must be taken into account, which are the chromosomal changes. This is because the follicles where the eggs are housed are born with the woman, aging with them. Therefore, the cellular divisions that give rise to these eggs are more likely to fail.

But as a way to help women who wish to delay maternity, there is the possibility of preserving fertility through cryopreservation of eggs. The technique consists in freezing eggs for future use. It is a safe procedure, which is adopted worldwide. It is used by women in the limit of fertile age without pregnancy plans. It is important that this process is performed before the egg loses its quality, since the freezing keeps the ovular health from when the procedure was performed. Egg freezing can also be used to maintain fertility in cancer patients. In this case, the technique must be employed before the patient undergoes chemotherapy.

According to new rules of the Federal Medical Council, it is possible to use these frozen eggs until the woman reaches age 50. The quality of the eggs is kept indefinitely with the freezing, and if it is not possible to conceive naturally, the egg can be used in an in vitro fertilization. If a woman does not want to have children and still has frozen eggs, they can be discarded or referred to the research.

A woman who becomes pregnant after the age of 35 is also more likely to develop some gestational diseases such as preeclampsia and to gestational diabetes. But thanks to reproductive medicine and the awareness of healthy habits, it is possible that the risks are minimized if she follows the recommendations of her doctor.

However, regardless of the woman's age, it is essential to carry out medical follow-up before and During the pregnancy. And that she has healthy eating habits. Fresh and organic foods are important allies of fertility. Along with eating, the intake of folic acid combined with vitamins D, C, and E helps reduce the chances of miscarriage.
