For the assisted reproduction specialist, fertility should be considered a priority in planning couples who want to have children
Maternity is a dream for many women, but the decision to have a child may require planning. Having children is a great step in the life of each couple, especially for women, who undergo various physical and emotional changes during pregnancy and after childbirth.
For Dr. Eduardo Motta, founder of the Huntington group and assisted reproduction specialist, family planning does not start when the desire to have children appears. It should start with the evaluation of reproductive health, even if the decision to have children is distant.
According to the doctor, the female fertility He suffers from a natural fall after 30 years and accelerates after 35 years. At 40, half of women already have significant difficulties in being pregnant. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), infertility affects about 15% of reproductive couples.
“If the couple wants to have two children, for example, it is very important for the woman to consider the idea of being pregnant before the age of 35. This is because, after this age, the possibilities of pregnancy decrease spontaneously considerably. At 40, half of women can no longer be pregnant without medical support,” he says.
Fertility
Planning of motherhood is an important decision and more and more women choose to postpone this moment because of their career. So that they can get pregnant in the future, many have resorted to techniques that help preserve fertility and postpone motherhood until they are ready to take this commitment.
Among the fertility conservation procedures, the doctor highlights the freezing of eggs as an alternative to women who want to postpone pregnancy. “Freezing of eggs is an option for women who want to preserve their fertility for the future and already show a less perspective for this moment of life,” he says.
To increase the possibilities of getting pregnant with frozen eggs, the expert warns that the ideal is to perform the procedure since the age of 30. “When freezing is performed before 35 years, successful rates are rather encouraging and can reach 60% or more, depending on the quantity and quality of the stored eggs,” he explains. In the case of patients above this age, the doctor advises a specialist to evaluate the ovarian reserve.
