For women, having a child is a particularly sacred and great thing, but this experience is not easy for any woman, and some women are unable to conceive due to congenital deficiencies or diseases.
Fortunately, the current medical technology has been very developed, and women who cannot conceive normally and whose uterus is still intact can successfully conceive a baby through IVF and experience October pregnancy.
However, there are also women who are worried that doing IVF will speed up their aging before doing IVF, is this true?
IVF does not make women age faster!
Women are worried that when doing IVF, they need to take out multiple eggs from their bodies, which will affect the function of the ovaries and accelerate the aging of the ovaries and cause them to become older.
There is no scientific basis for this idea, and the function of the ovaries themselves will secrete eggs, and even if multiple eggs are retrieved at once, the ovaries will produce eggs again without any noticeable effects on the body.
And even if these eggs are not retrieved, the woman will release the unwanted eggs out of the body when she reaches ovulation, and the ovaries will continue to produce new eggs in order to combine the best eggs with sperm when she becomes pregnant.
So from this point of view, the loss of eggs does not make the ovaries age, and women do not need to worry too much, but before doing IVF, they should prepare for the following 5 aspects.
1. Determine the age
The older the woman, the weaker the function of the ovaries, the quality of the eggs generated will be much worse than before, so the age factor of the woman should be taken into account before doing IVF, if the age of the woman is more than 35 years old, the success rate of IVF will decrease, and the older the age, the lower the success rate.
2. Undergo ovarian evaluation
Not all women can have IVF, and women are required to undergo an ovarian evaluation before IVF, which includes: blood drawing of basic hormones and AMH, ovarian size, and B-ultrasound basal follicle count.
If these three aspects meet the normal standards, it means that the function of the ovaries is better, the woman can produce high-quality eggs, and the retrieved eggs can be better combined with sperm.
3. Supplement nutrition
During the period of preparing for pregnancy, women should keep the body's vitamins and trace elements sufficient, and they can take folic acid under the guidance of a doctor before doing IVF, because folic acid is of great help in preventing neurodevelopmental malformations in infants.
4. Regulate the uterus
Before women do IVF, the doctor will check the specific condition of the endometrium through color ultrasound, because the embryo needs to implant and develop in the endometrium, and if the endometrium is inflamed or damaged, it will affect the implantation rate. Therefore, before that, women should try to take care of the uterus as much as possible so that the fetus can have a better development environment.
5. Prevention of infectious diseases
If a woman suffers from an infectious disease, she is not suitable for IVF, and even if she is successfully conceived, it may cause miscarriage, malformation, stillbirth, and in severe cases, it will threaten the health and life of the mother.
Therefore, before doing IVF, it is necessary to check whether the woman has an infectious disease, and if the infectious disease is detected, it must be treated through formal and effective treatment, so that the body can recover before receiving IVF.
To sum up, if a woman wants to do IVF, she must do the above five aspects in advance, not only that, but if she wants the fetus to develop and grow smoothly in the womb, women must also develop good living and eating habits.
For example, do not smoke and drink, do not stay up late, and are not picky eaters when eating, so that the fetus can grow and develop in a healthy environment, and it will also help women to give birth more smoothly in the future.
