What assisted reproductive choices do women over 35 have?

In modern society, more and more women choose to marry later and have children later, and the number of mothers over 35 years old is increasing. However, the growth of age will have an impact on reproductive capacity, which will reduce the success rate of natural pregnancy. Fortunately, with the progress of science and technology, women over 35 can also choose assisted reproductive technology to increase their chances of pregnancy. Here are four common assisted reproductive choices.

1. In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET)

In vitro fertilization embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is one of the common assisted reproductive choices. This technology can promote ovulation, fertilize eggs and sperm in vitro and cultivate them into embryos, and then transfer the embryos into the uterus to increase the chance of pregnancy. For women over 35 years old, this is a common choice, because it can bypass the problem of egg quality decline caused by aging.

Before in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans according to the maternal age, ovarian reserve, egg quality and other factors. In real hospitals, such as the Reproductive Medicine Center of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, the medical team of * * can provide professional assisted reproductive treatment for pregnant women.

However, for women over 35 years old, the success rate of IVF-ET technology may be reduced, because the quality of eggs will decline with age. Therefore, pregnant women need to have a full understanding of the risks and effects of treatment, and make decisions under the guidance of doctors.

2. Embryo donation

For women over 35 years old, sometimes the quality of eggs may decline, even though in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technology is difficult to succeed in pregnancy. In this case, the mother can choose to donate embryos. That is to accept the embryos donated by other couples for transfer to increase the chance of pregnancy.

Embryo donation is a relatively mature technology, which is widely used in the treatment of infertility. In the process of embryo donation, doctors will select suitable donated embryos according to the maternal constitution and needs, and transfer them into the maternal uterus through embryo transfer technology. This technology can effectively solve the problem of difficult pregnancy caused by the decline of egg quality.

3. Egg donation

For some women over 35 years old, due to their own egg quality problems, it is difficult to successfully conceive even through in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technology or embryo donation. In this case, the mother can choose to donate eggs. That is to accept the eggs donated by other women for in vitro fertilization embryo transfer technology to increase the chance of pregnancy.

Egg donation is a choice that needs careful consideration. Maternal women need to consider factors such as the matching degree with donor eggs, ethics and morality. When choosing egg donation, real hospitals such as Shanghai Fudan University Affiliated Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital can provide professional consulting services to help mothers make correct decisions.

4. Age testing and genetic screening

Another problem brought about by the increase in the age of mothers over 35 is the increased risk of genetic diseases in children. In order to avoid the transmission of genetic diseases due to aging, mothers can choose to carry out age testing and genetic screening. Genetic testing can assess the risk of genetic diseases in children and provide corresponding advice and suggestions for pregnant women.

Among women over 35 years old, age testing and genetic screening can help women understand their genetic status and assess the risks that children may face after birth. If the genetic risk of the puerpera is high, we can consider carrying out embryo gene diagnosis technology to screen the embryos carrying genetic diseases, so as to avoid passing on genetic diseases to the next generation.

summary

For women over 35 years old, the success rate of natural pregnancy has declined due to the influence of age growth. However, the development of modern medicine enables these women to choose assisted reproductive technology to increase the chances of pregnancy. Through in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer technology, embryo donation, egg donation, age testing and genetic screening, these women can achieve their reproductive aspirations. When choosing assisted reproductive technology, pregnant women should fully understand the risks and effects of treatment, and make decisions under the guidance of doctors.
