Selection of the best advanced age for pregnancy preparation
With the development of social economy and the improvement of living standards, more and more women choose to greet the arrival of new life at the age of 34 or above. However, the risks brought by the elderly birth cannot be ignored. So, what is the best time to prepare for pregnancy at an advanced age? It is discussed from the following aspects.
Assessment of physical health
Before choosing the best time for pregnancy preparation at an advanced age, it is not advisable not to go through a comprehensive medical examination. Women's physical condition is one of the key factors to determine whether they are suitable for childbirth. Through a series of physical examinations, women's fertility and physical condition can be evaluated and corresponding suggestions can be made.
1. Examination of reproductive system: including gynecological examination, uterine morphology, endometrial thickness, ovarian function, egg quality, etc. Through these tests, doctors can assess the quality of women's eggs and ovarian function, and determine whether it is suitable for the elderly to prepare for pregnancy.
2. Assessment of thyroid function: thyroid dysfunction may affect ovarian function, leading to menstrual disorders, premature ovarian failure and other problems. Therefore, thyroid function should be evaluated before pregnancy preparation.
3. Screening of diabetes and hypertension: diabetes and hypertension are common chronic diseases, which have a certain impact on the health of pregnant women and fetuses. Before pregnancy preparation, relevant screening should be carried out and blood sugar and blood pressure levels should be controlled.
Consideration of fertility desire and family situation
In addition to the assessment of physical health, women's own fertility desire and family situation are also important factors in selecting the best time for pregnancy preparation at an advanced age.
1. Fertility willingness and psychological preparation: Pregnancy preparation for the elderly needs to pay more efforts and face greater risks. If women have strong willingness and psychological preparation for late childbirth, and can bear the corresponding risks and responsibilities, then it is suitable for pregnancy preparation at the elderly.
2. Family situation: Pregnancy preparation for the elderly may require more energy and resources, and rely on the family's economic status and support. If the family conditions are good, the economic and mental support can meet the requirements, and it is suitable for pregnancy preparation at an advanced age.
3. Career planning and scheduling: Older pregnancy preparation may require longer time and more rest, which also poses challenges to career planning and scheduling. If women have achieved stable and satisfactory career development, or have enough time arrangement, it is suitable for them to prepare for pregnancy at an advanced age.
Selection and application of assisted reproductive technology
Assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a common choice for elderly pregnant women. The specific application of which technology and when to carry out it need to be determined according to the individual situation of women and the doctor's advice.
1. IVF technology: For women with poor ovarian function, IVF technology is an effective assisted reproductive technology. The application of IVF technology can be considered when selecting the best time of pregnancy preparation for the elderly.
2. Selection of time point of embryo transfer: The time point of embryo transfer has certain influence on the success rate. It is generally recommended that embryo transfer should be carried out during the period when the ovary functions well, and the clue is the monitoring results of the in vitro pregnancy cycle of the ovary.
3. Selection of other auxiliary technologies: According to the specific situation, doctors can also recommend the use of other auxiliary reproductive technologies, such as egg and sperm quality testing, embryo screening, etc.
Hospital selection and expert consultation
The selection of appropriate hospitals and experts is crucial to the success of pregnancy preparation for the elderly. The following factors need to be considered:
1. Professional level and equipment of the hospital: select a hospital with rich experience and high level to provide more professional and appropriate examination and treatment.
2. Experience and reputation of doctors: doctors with rich experience and good reputation can provide more accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment scheme.
3. Geographic location and transportation convenience of the hospital: choose a hospital close to the residence and with convenient transportation, which can reduce the time and energy consumption of round-trip.
In a word, when choosing the best time for pregnancy preparation at an advanced age, it is necessary to comprehensively consider individual conditions, physical conditions, family conditions and medical advice. Although the risk of pregnancy preparation at an advanced age is relatively high, with the continuous progress of medical technology and the accumulation of doctors' experience, the chances of success are also increasing. As long as we make comprehensive preparation and planning, we believe that every woman who wants to have a late baby can welcome the arrival of a healthy baby.
