With the relaxation of the two-child policy, many older women still hope to have children. These women may recall the benefits of growing up with siblings who support each other in both childhood and adulthood. Especially when parents are older and in poor health, siblings can take turns caring for them, making both the time and financial burden more manageable.

 

Although some women in their 40s are aware that ovarian function declines with age and conceiving becomes increasingly challenging, they are unwilling to give up. However, they also worry about whether their bodies can withstand the stress of pregnancy and the potential risks to the baby's health due to declining egg quality. These concerns leave many older women hesitant, unsure whether to freeze eggs or undergo IVF.

 

Dr. Nathan Zhang of IVF USA has over a decade of experience in the field of overseas IVF-PGT, having encountered many older women facing fertility difficulties. He acknowledges that fertility for women over 40 is indeed more challenging but not insurmountable. Healthy babies can still be born through assisted reproductive technology like IVF-PGT.

 

Fertility is a complex physiological process requiring healthy sperm and eggs, as well as a healthy body to endure the stresses of pregnancy. As age increases, bodily functions decline, and fertility decreases accordingly. Common issues include lower sperm quality, declining ovarian function, and a deteriorating uterine environment. Moreover, older women are more prone to chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of miscarriage. Particularly for women over 40, the decline in fertility is more pronounced. Generally, women experience a turning point in fertility around the age of 35, while those over 40 require luck and the assistance of excellent doctors.

 

Currently, the success rates of IVF in Thailand, Mexico, and the USA are slightly higher than in other countries, reaching over 80%. However, it is an undeniable fact that the success rates for older women are relatively lower. As long as the quality of sperm and eggs obtained through IVF is good, healthy embryos can still be conceived. Especially with the selection of IVF-PGT, screening for chromosomal and genetic abnormalities allows for the transfer of quality embryos, coupled with proper post-transfer care and pregnancy management, significantly reducing the risks of birthing healthy babies for older mothers. Additionally, IVF can alleviate concerns about the difficulties of natural conception at an older age.

Under the guidance of Dr. Nathan Zhang, overseas IVF-PGT is indeed a lower-risk and higher-success method for older women to achieve their dream of parenthood.
