Suitable age of IVF
IVF is a kind of assisted reproductive technology, which is a good choice for some older women whose physical condition is not suitable for natural pregnancy. However, since women's fertility gradually declines after the age of 35, and there is almost no chance of natural pregnancy after the age of 45, women who carry out IVF should do it as soon as possible, and pay attention to the following issues.
Evaluation of blastocyst quality
Ovarian ovulation function will significantly decline in women around the age of 45, while increasing age will also increase the risk of abnormal blastocyst development. Therefore, in the process of IVF, it is particularly important to evaluate the quality of blastocysts. Some formal reproductive hospitals, such as Peking Union Medical College Hospital or Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center, have adopted advanced embryo assessment technologies, including preimplantation genetic screening (PGT-A) and time period Raman spectroscopy, to improve the selection rate of blastocysts and pregnancy success.
In addition, older women should also pay attention to their own ovarian reserve, for example, by measuring the level of antioxidant antibodies, FSH levels or performing ovarian ultrasound, to determine whether it is suitable for IVF.
Careful selection of medical institutions and professional doctors
Choosing appropriate medical institutions and professional doctors is an important step for IVF. As women get older, their physical conditions will be different. Younger women will respond differently to drugs, and their treatment plans will also be different. Therefore, before choosing a medical institution, women can first learn whether they have relevant clinical experience and successful cases. At the same time, we will consult with doctors face to face to find out whether the hospital's technical equipment and treatment technology are updated, and find out whether the doctor's professional level meets our own requirements.
For example, in the reproductive center of Shanghai Tongren Hospital, with rich clinical experience in IVF and advanced assisted reproductive technology, doctors will also customize personalized treatment programs according to age and physical condition.
Pay attention to health and nutrition intake
Age will bring some health problems. Women need to pay attention to their own health before doing IVF. First of all, it is very important to maintain a good attitude and a positive attitude towards life, because the IVF process may last for a period of time. Secondly, women should ensure adequate rest and sleep to avoid mental stress and excessive physical exertion.
In addition, reasonable diet is also very important. Women can supplement some foods rich in folic acid, vitamin C, vitamin D and lutein to improve their immunity and fertility. At the same time, women also need to avoid excessive intake of caffeine, alcohol and tobacco, because these substances may have adverse effects on embryonic development.
Psychological preparation and family support
For older women, IVF is not only a physical experience, but also a psychological challenge. In the whole process, women need to have enough psychological preparation and a positive attitude, and remain optimistic and patient. At the same time, family support is also very important. Women can share their feelings and perplexities with their spouses or relatives and friends to gain their understanding and support.
Summary
There are some problems that need special attention for 43 year old women who are undergoing IVF. First, evaluate the quality of blastocysts and understand their own ovarian reserves. Secondly, it is very important to choose the appropriate medical institutions and professional doctors. In addition, attention to physical health and nutrition intake, as well as psychological preparation and family support are also key. Through comprehensive consideration of these issues, women can better cope with the challenges of IVF and increase the success rate.
