    Posted: 07 November 2019 at 7:15am
Hello, forum participants! It is known that after 30, and especially after 35 years, it is much more difficult to get pregnant than at a younger age. And infertility in women older than 35 years is more common.

It is believed that if a woman younger than 35 years old after a year of regular sexual activity without contraception does not have a pregnancy, she needs a consultation with a reproductologist. If we are talking about a woman who has crossed the 35-year line, this period is reduced to six months. Since the sooner treatment is started, the higher the likelihood of its success. If a woman is older than 38 years — up to three months.

Doctors recommend that women over 35 should be very careful about their health. Of course, the older the woman, the higher her likelihood of chronic diseases of the heart, liver, and kidneys, which can worsen during pregnancy and require additional attention of specialists.

I would like to ask you how to increase the chances of conception after 35 years? What do you know about this? What helped you?

Pregnancy after 35 years, of course, cannot be completely risk-free. But the risk is not as great as you think, and in many cases it can be minimized.

There is documentary evidence that after 35 years, the ability to bear children is gradually decreasing.

Each girl is born with a certain supply of eggs. By the time of puberty, their number is reduced from about one million to 500 thousand. By the time the girl reaches the most favorable age for conception - 22-23 years, the eggs become half as much. To this is added a qualitative factor. Some diseases can reject a certain number of precious cells, and they will not be able to fertilize!

Women older than 35 are more likely to experience health complications during pregnancy. This applies to diabetes and hypertension, such complications are observed in about 6% of women over 35 years of age compared with 1.3% in younger ones. According to statistics, older women also increase the risk of pregnancy complications, including placental abruption and the fetal condition. The likelihood of a miscarriage also increases. Childbirth can be more difficult and protracted, and these are the main indications for cesarean section.
For women over 35, there is an increased risk of problems associated with endometriosis and fibroids, which can affect fertility and pregnancy.

But all these types of dangers can be minimized if you prepare yourself in advance for the upcoming pregnancy. The organs of the embryo form in the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, and at this time the embryo is most vulnerable. Therefore, if during the preparation for pregnancy you will eat right, give up cigarettes and alcohol, caffeine and drugs, take vitamins, you will increase your chances of having a healthy baby. But pregnancy is not the time to start physical activity. You need to prepare yourself for the upcoming before the test shows two stripes. Then it will be easier to deal with emerging issues.

It is best to plan a pregnancy and give birth at an age that nature has identified as optimal. But life is a complicated thing, it is rarely possible to agree with it ... The good news is that today, even in the most hopeless situation, modern medicine is ready to offer a woman several ways to solve the problem and help her become a mother. The most important thing is to remember that parents have the right to choose the time of birth of the child themselves. And to meet the baby when it comes to understanding that they are ready for this.

Thank you for your reply, glad to chat with you! I would like to ask you another important question. Now many people, including doctors, are paying attention to psychosomatic factors. Do you think that prolonged stress can have a negative effect on the conception process? Perhaps this is just a prejudice and it all depends on genetics, age and health. Should women focus on the desire to become pregnant? Or is it better to trust the occasion and just wait?

It would be wrong to deny the influence of the psychosomatic factor. There is much evidence of how the mind affects the body. The psychological effects of stress can have a negative effect on fertility. Excessive stress can greatly affect the menstrual cycle and lead to its violation.

The likely consequences of stress are irregular ovulation, impaired movement of gametes through the fallopian tubes, etc. Under stress, the level of hormones cortisol and adrenaline in the blood rises, which can have various negative consequences. Learn relaxation techniques and find the right ones. Yoga and massage are effective stress relievers.

You need to set a goal - to improve the state of health, both physical and mental, to get rid of bad habits and to avoid stress.

Thanks for the recommendation, you give useful tips! But I also think that it is very important to check the level of hormones. Since hormonal disorders can cause many problems that directly and indirectly affect conception. This is perhaps even more important than proper nutrition and exercise. Although I do not deny that nutrition and a healthy lifestyle affect the ability to conceive. Despite this, abandoning the use of familiar foods can be very difficult. In addition, losing weight over the years is already more difficult than in youth.

Of course, you need to monitor the level of progesterone, estrogen, and thyroid hormones. But, nutrition also plays an important role in increasing fertility, as it affects hormones.

For the normal functioning of the body, minerals and vitamins are necessary, in particular, fiber, iron, vitamin C and zinc. These nutrients reduce the risk of miscarriage. Try to reduce the consumption of convenience foods and sugary foods. Forget about fast food.

These foods contain toxins that negatively affect fertility. Replace them with fresh vegetables and fruits. Vegetables contain various vitamins, minerals and fiber, necessary for health and well-being. Nuts, grains, and beans should be included in your daily diet. It is also recommended to increase the consumption of seafood, especially fish, and poultry.

Unhealthy or overweight can cause conception problems. Fitness helps balance insulin and testosterone levels, which increases the likelihood of normal ovulation and conception. But be careful - excessive stress can negatively affect fertility.

I think that you can not concentrate on only one aspect, for example, on hormones. In our body, everything is interconnected, so nutrition and exercise are also very important. In addition, moderate physical activity is effective in controlling stress and depression.

I also heard that the quality and duration of sleep affects the possibility of conception. Unfortunately, due to work, I can’t get a sleep mode. It is also very difficult for me to give up smoking. Unfortunately, my husband also smokes, but this habit is so addictive that it is very difficult to abandon it. I understand that smoking has a negative effect on health and the possibility of conception. But how to get rid of this habit? It is really not easy, but the child’s health is worth it.

No, you need to quit smoking if you want your pregnancy to proceed without the risk of miscarriage. It is really very important for your health and the health of the baby. In any case, you will have to give up this habit. Or are you going to smoke during pregnancy? Smoking directly affects a woman's ability to conceive a child. Women who smoke need more time to become pregnant than non-smokers. But the rejection of this bad habit immediately has a beneficial effect on health and helps to get pregnant faster. Smoking is very harmful to the ovaries, increasing the risk of miscarriage and genetic abnormalities in the child.

As for sleep, you're completely right. Sleep affects the content of the hormone leptin in the body, which suppresses appetite. It holds back the feeling of hunger, as a result you eat less, move more and burn more calories. With lack of sleep and insomnia, the level of leptin decreases, which often leads to erratic nutrition. Medical experts have concluded that some women with infertility have very low leptin levels.

You are right, I need to give up smoking. There are so many sad stories. They undoubtedly make us think about the future. But what about those women who have been unable to get pregnant for a long time? What do you think about intrauterine insemination? This is perhaps the easiest way to get pregnant. However, I know that the effectiveness of this method is only 20%.

In my opinion, the effectiveness of this method is so low, since it is used only in some cases. The method can help if the cause of infertility is low sperm motility or erectile dysfunction. Insemination with donor sperm is a way out for single women who want to have a baby, but do not plan to create a complete family.
I think the most effective method of reproductive technology is IVF. Perhaps you have heard about this more than once? IVF has lower efficacy in women with endometriosis, in nulliparous women. And also in women who use frozen embryos.

Yes, really IVF is a very popular method of conception. But IVF also does not guarantee pregnancy in 100% of cases. All modern scientific studies of a high level of evidence determine the woman's age as the main factor in the expected effectiveness of IVF. Older women are less likely to have a beneficial outcome.

At the age of 35 years, the effectiveness of one cycle of IVF is estimated at 45–55 percent. And after 40 years, this is 3-5%. It is critically important to do IVF at a younger age, this will allow you to get the expected effectiveness and long-awaited pregnancy. And what do you think, does the IVF procedure have negative consequences?

Of course, success largely depends on the age of the woman, unfortunately... Yes, I learned a lot of information regarding this issue. Especially, I was interested in articles that IVF can provokes oncology. It turned out to be a lie...The study of these risks has been the subject of many years of research. Over the entire study period, neither a short-term nor a long-term relationship was found between the use of drugs to stimulate ovarian function and the risk of cancer. Absolutely all international congresses in the field of reproduction in recent years only confirm the absence of this connection. Modern drugs for IVF have almost no side effects. Many of them are produced by genetic engineering. In terms of purification, they are unparalleled. Therefore, modern IVF from the standpoint of pharmacology is a fairly comfortable procedure.

There is still such a lie that children born as a result of IVF are sick and infertile. There are risks to the health of the child after IVF. However, these risks are associated with perinatal complications, multiple pregnancies, and preterm delivery. Most serious studies did not reveal any significant deviations in the state of health and development of children conceived using IVF. All world scientific publications that have conducted many years of research on the consequences of IVF make an unambiguous conclusion. There is no evidence that IVF can have a negative effect on a child’s health. One cell is taken from the embryo and examined for the most common genetic diseases before being transferred to the uterus. Such a procedure does not affect the further development of the embryo. In addition, monitoring is carried out at certain stages of pregnancy to identify developmental abnormalities. An ultrasound of the embryo is carried out, a mother's blood test for markers of genetic diseases, if necessary, a study of amniotic fluid cells and others. If the embryo has serious genetic defects, then pregnancy will most likely cease to develop in the early stages or will not occur at all. Therefore, there are many myths around this issue...

I also heard that after IVF only twins and triples are born. But, as it turned out, this is also not true ... Recently, I read that now in the world there is a practice of refusing to transfer more than two embryos. In some countries, the transfer of more than two embryos is prohibited by law. It seems to me that in the IVF program it is necessary to strive for the transfer of a single embryo. Indeed, the current level of development of clinics and embryological laboratories allows you to get excellent results when transferring one selected embryo. Thus, the probability of multiple pregnancy can be significantly reduced.

Of course, carrying all embryos carries a high risk for the embryos and for the health of the mother. In this situation, doctors resort to reduction - the removal of one of the embryos. Of course, this intervention carries a certain risk. However, it is incomparably less than the risk associated with the development of multiple pregnancy in a woman who is not ready for this anatomically.

The IVF procedure is constantly being improved. And now the need for reduction is very rare. Now, as a rule, no more than two embryos are transferred to a woman. Hormonal drugs are prescribed the necessary minimum, so that the problem of "excess" embryo practically does not arise.

And what do you think, is it advisable to freeze the eggs "for the future"?

Indeed, this is a very interesting question. I can’t answer it unequivocally, but today many couples do this. For example, if a man and a woman are in a pair of 33-34 years old, and they plan a child by the age of 40, it makes sense to think about freezing oocytes. Since this time, the quality of their own cells will deteriorate.
This is also done when a woman is not sure of a partner or in the future wants to have a baby for herself. Then additional stimulation is not required. It will only be necessary to prepare the endometrium and conduct an examination of the body. And by the way, these cells can be used in the future for surrogacy. In this case, the age of the biological mother and father will not matter.

Indeed, my husband and I are increasingly thinking about this. After all, even famous people do it. We are over 35 years old, we plan to give birth to a baby in a few years. But suddenly, at 40-45 years old or even earlier, we want to have a second child. Perhaps we should consider this topic more carefully. I have not yet found out how much this service will cost in our country. If it will be very expensive, then unfortunately we will not be able to afford it.

You can resort to the use of donor eggs if you want to have a child in 45-50 years. Thus, you will be sure that the child will not have genetic abnormalities. Also, this method is used when a woman has already run out of ovarian reserve. Each girl is born with a lot of follicles. There are several million of them. Throughout life, this amount decreases all the time, and after 35 years it drops very quickly. If there is a predisposition to the fact that the ovaries "mature" faster, then a problem arises - a syndrome of premature ovarian exhaustion. In this case, premature menopause occurs and your ovaries can no longer produce eggs. Then you need to resort to the use of donor eggs. And another important point - as we grow up, the number of chromosomal problems in the egg itself becomes more and more. Thus, the younger the egg, the more likely it is to be genetically healthy.

Is it possible to somehow protect yourself from the loss of eggs? Perhaps lifestyle is of great importance? Do you think smoking has an effect on this process? I began to think that it was necessary to get rid of this habit as soon as possible. Since smoking can bring a huge amount of problems to my life in the future. Perhaps you know any methods to save the eggs? I wonder if this is possible or medicine has not yet invented such methods?

Eggs can be stored in a certain way - this is facilitated by the notorious healthy lifestyle. Someone needs to sleep 8 hours, someone needs not to smoke. This has already been proven. Smoking reduces the laying of antral follicles, and a girl approaches menopause much faster than a non-smoking woman. In addition, modern medicine is ready to help - the eggs can be saved. We have already spoken with you that they can be frozen. However, you must understand that if you freeze them at 35, and come after them in 20 years, who will bear the child?
