Los Angeles, CA – August, 2018 – Whether you want a baby for the first time or you are already a mother, trying to conceive after you have turned 40 can make you excited and anxious at the same time. You may be concerned about conceiving a healthy pregnancy at this age. It may be more difficult at this age, but it is not impossible.

At this age, as part of natural aging, most women have a diminished ovarian reserve (DOR), and that may make conceiving difficult without expert help. Modern fertility medicine offers a wide variety of options for women over the age of 40 to be able to become mothers.

Consult your fertility specialist to understand which of the following solutions you may be a candidate for.
Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
IUI is an ideal option if you want to use your own eggs to have a baby. Intrauterine Insemination improves your chances of egg fertilization and conception. This treatment allows sperm from your partner to be ‘washed’ and placed directly into the uterus to increase the likelihood of successful fertilization.

This fertility solution is effective for women with cervical scarring, cervical mucus abnormalities, and unexplained infertility as well as problems with erection or ejaculation in men.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
One of the most popular and reliable fertility treatment options is In Vitro Fertilization, or IVF. IVF helps in a wide range of fertility issues so that you can have a child. It addresses male fertility issues as well.

Treatment often involves FSH injections to women to promote a healthier ovarian environment followed by fertilizing eggs and sperm in a laboratory setting and transferring the embryo(s) that develop into the mother’s uterus. However, your fertility specialist will discuss your exact treatment plan.
IVF With Egg Donation
If you have tried conceiving with your own eggs but have not been successful, donor egg option is available. Donor eggs are eggs from a healthy, younger woman which can be used to be fertilized with your partner’s sperm in an IVF cycle and then the resulting embryo can be implanted into your own uterus. Donor eggs improves the likelihood of a viable pregnancy and lowers the risk of miscarriage.
Improve your chances of a viable pregnancy after 40
To improve your chances of a healthy, full-term pregnancy after 40 years of age, consult with a fertility specialist. Your fertility doctor may recommend the following –
• Hormonal therapy for hormonal imbalances, stress or medical conditions
• Supplements such as Folic Acid or Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10)
• Cardiovascular exercise and healthy weight maintenance
• Eating a healthy diet
• Avoiding caffeine and alcohol
