Your Chances of Falling Pregnant after 40 Age | Get Pregnant Naturally After 40
I can't believe that women past 35 are called geriatric
mothers. Oh my goodness! How are you supposed to feel fertile and fresh when
that's what you're labeled as?
In this article I am talking about what your chances are of
conceiving when you're past 40. Can I have a little chance to rant?
And I know advanced maternal age is used as well but come
on, is that any better?
So if you're past 40 or you're nearing 40, I want to boost
your confidence today. You know what, I get this question a lot in the
discovery calls with prospective patients or patients that have already started
treatment with me.
They ask me, "I'm already past 40. "I'm 41, 42,
43, "do you think it's ever gonna happen for me?" And I always have
the same answer.
Listen, you only need one good egg. As long as you're
ovulating, we have a lot to work with. And the question I always ask and that
you can ask yourself is what age was your mom when she hit menopause?
Now I know a lot of you who might not know this, but those
that do know, that can give you a little bit of breathing room because if
you're 40 and your mom was 49 or 50 or 52 when menopause really hit, then you
know you've got a little bit of space.
So yes, of course, if you look at the statistics, somebody
that's above 40 has a 5 percent chance of conceiving.
But hang on, that statistic is about the chance that you'll conceive in your first cycle. It makes sense that when you're older, it might take a little bit longer.
But hang on, that statistic is about the chance that you'll conceive in your first cycle. It makes sense that when you're older, it might take a little bit longer.
But guess what, you have a lot of things that you can do to
improve your chances. One of the things that a lot of women are ruled by is
this awful AMH numbers.
And yes, if your numbers aren't great in your blood test
results, then, of course, that is concerning. But you know what, you can
improve those numbers.
AMH, ideally, should be above one and as we age, that number
goes down anyway. But it still doesn't say anything about your fertility today.
The only thing it tells you is, girl, your reserves are
running out. Well, thanks Sherlock. I didn't know that yet.
So that brings me back to that one good egg that you need. And
you have the opportunity to improve your egg quality just by changing your
lifestyle, by having a good diet, by exercising, by working on your emotional
well-being as well and making sure that you get enough rest.
That alone will improve your egg quality immensely. I'll
make sure to link in also my recent video about improving your egg quality.
However, it takes two to tango, right? I think that you have
a husband that needs to participate in the baby making.
So, of course you need him to be in the best shape possible.
So if you already know that his sperm quality isn't great, the amount isn't
fantastic or there's something wrong with their shape, then you want to make sure
that is addressed and supplements and lifestyle change can do a lot but I
obviously highly recommend homeopathy.
So if your husband's sperm isn't of great quality, you need
to make sure that you address that. And sometimes even if the quality is okay, if
the test results come back fine, there could be an underlying autoimmune issue or
there could be metal toxicity that needs to be addressed.
And lastly, something that could really block your fertility
is the past use of synthetic hormones. Now, that can be the contraceptive pill or
the injections and don't forget the hormonal coil, but it could also be
fertility drugs if you've used those in the past and can even be steroids.
These things leave a lasting imprint on your hormonal system
and you need your hormones to be in the best shape possible, right?
So, basically, what I want you to take away from this
article is that you have the opportunity to be fertile and you only need one
good egg but what you do need to do is make sure that you are both in the best
shape possible.
As I said, you can do that with supplements, with lifestyle
changes, but homeopathic treatment can make a huge difference.
If you are past 40 and you had a healthy baby, do comment as
well below because I want other women that are trying to conceive to be
encouraged by your experience.
