While every woman dreams of becoming a mother, getting pregnant requires reflection…
It is a generation where numerous give more importance to their careers than to social interactions and many spend more time with their computers than their respective better halves. Confident that technology, like always, will save the day and allow one to procreate whenever one wills, people are allowing their biological clocks to tick away. Buoyed by successful cases like that of Jennifer Lopez, 38, who recently gave birth to twins, and our queen of masala movies Farah Khan, 43, whose triplets are at the moment harvesting gifts from the film community, late pregnancies are becoming the norm, rather than an exception.
Says Dr. Swati, Gynecologist and IVF-fertility specialist, “While 20-40 is an absolutely safe age group to give birth to a child, 40-50 needs to be closely monitored at all points of time and beyond 50 is not recommended.” The pregnancy of the 42-year-old film director Farah Khan had made many skeptical but her delivery of three healthy babies has intrigued all those who wish to postpone parenthood and finish their education or invest in their career; or for that matter because of the belated arrival of their soul mate.
“After 35, the chances of natural conception are really low due to the decline in the number of naturally produced eggs in a woman’s body. It is then that artificial techniques such as IVF are used to produce more number of eggs in the ovary,” clarifies Dr. Swati.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation) is an assisted reproductive technique in which egg cells are fertilised by sperm outside the woman’s womb. The ovulatory process is hormonally controlled by helping a woman produce more ova (eggs) and then removing them from her ovaries and allowing sperm to fertilise them in a fluid medium. The IVF specialist further elaborates, “The best quality embryo (tested in the lab) is then placed in the woman’s uterus and it is the age and health of the woman that decides whether the embryo will survive or not.” Keeping the age factor in mind, “more than one embryo (two to three)” is placed in a woman’s body so that “at least one” of them survives.
