With societal norms evolving and priorities shifting, more individuals are choosing to start families in their 40s. While achieving pregnancy at this stage can be challenging, advancements in reproductive medicine make it possible. At Sakalli IVF, we’re here to guide you on your journey to parenthood, no matter your age.

Is Pregnancy Possible in Your 40s?

Yes, pregnancy is possible in your 40s. Many individuals delay starting a family to focus on career goals, travel, or financial stability, but this can introduce unique challenges to conception.

Thanks to advancements in reproductive medicine, we can assist when natural fertility declines.

Recommended Steps:

• Ovarian Function Tests: Assess hormone levels and ovarian reserve.
• Ultrasound Examination: Check for blockages in the fallopian tubes.
• Semen Analysis: Evaluate your partner’s sperm health.
• Lifestyle and Dietary Changes: Simple modifications can enhance fertility potential.

When to Consult a Fertility Specialist

If you’ve been trying to conceive naturally for six months without success, it’s time to seek help from a fertility specialist.

Key Factors to Evaluate:

• General Health: Assess both partners’ overall wellness.
• Ovarian Function: Critical for determining fertility potential.

At Sakalli IVF, we offer a comprehensive fertility evaluation, including ovarian function tests, hormone assessments, and semen analysis. For those with a low ovarian reserve or egg quality, our program combines IVF stimulation with donor eggs, providing viable options when time is limited.

Risks and Benefits of Pregnancy at 40+

Risks:

• Increased chances of gestational diabetes and prolonged labor.
• Higher likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities in the baby.
• Possible mild heart conditions or other complications in the baby.

Benefits:

• Advances in fertility treatments and medical technology mitigate many of these risks.
• Increased expertise and knowledge due to the growing number of women having children later in life.

IVF Success Rates and Age

The success of IVF treatments is closely linked to age.

IVF Success Rates:

• Women under 35: Up to 79% success rate.
• Women over 42: Approximately 17% success rate.

Factors like egg quality and embryo viability significantly impact success. Genetic testing can help identify the healthiest embryos for transfer, improving outcomes.
