“From the moment they are born, women contain a defined amount of eggs in their ovaries, which year after year is reduced and losing quality.”
Nowadays there is a lot of debate about whether a woman’s fulfillment depends on being able to be a mother; There are positions for and against and we want you to know that whatever your position is, it is completely respectable, because motherhood under no perspective defines the essence of a woman. Having children should be a free, spontaneous decision that comes from the heart. This feeling is awakened very early in some women and in others it does not appear or does so late.
At this point we would like to make a stop, because every day we receive messages from distressed women who want a pregnancy that they never had before within their priorities; who took precautions for many years not to get pregnant or even resorted to radical procedures such as tubal ligation.
Women who belatedly rethink their position because life changed them: they found a new partner, achieved the economic stability they had always dreamed of or simply realized that they did not want to be alone for the rest of their lives, and then what they avoided for years becomes an obsession. For them, having a baby becomes a race against time.
At the age of 40, fertility is considerably reduced and attending a Fertility Center is no longer an option but a necessity. That is why we want to present you with all the options you should consider if having a child after the age of 35 is (or not) within your plans.
It will always be better to have a plan B
You have probably already heard about egg cryopreservation, a technique that is gaining more and more strength and is presented as an alternative to delay fertility in women under 38 years of age. From the moment they are born, women contain a defined amount of eggs in their ovaries, which year after year is reduced and losing quality, with a peak of fertility between the ages of 20 and 30 and a significant decrease after the age of 35.
With cryopreservation, the aim is to preserve a woman’s eggs when she is young so that she can use them later in assisted reproduction treatments, even if she is over 40 years old.
Preserving eggs from the age of 30 is like having a fertility Plan B, which you may or may not use later; It all depends on your life plans. What is clear is that they give you the peace of mind of knowing that, if you reconsider motherhood at a not so fertile age, you can turn to them.
Detect if you have a fertility problem
If you have been trying for a pregnancy for more than 6 months without achieving it and you are over 35 years old, we recommend that you consult a specialist to carry out a complete fertility study, where they evaluate you and your partner to determine the cause of the problem and recommend the indicated reproductive treatment.
In the field of Fertility we can offer you many alternatives, ranging from techniques to induce ovulation to assisted reproduction treatments such as In-vitro fertilization, everything depends on the medical condition, age and conditions of the couple.
You should keep in mind that, in any case, time is an important factor, which can play in your favor or against you. That’s why we recommend you consult as soon as you identify that you may have a problem conceiving a pregnancy.
Finally, and although it is clear that a woman’s personal fulfillment does not depend on whether she is a mother or not, it is important to keep in mind that life can take an unexpected turn and the way you face it will largely determine whether you reach your final goal.
