Second child policy: How to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization for elderly women? Preparing for pregnancy in elderly women can be said to be a race against time, because as they age, the quality of eggs decreases, and this decline process is irreversible. So, even older women who seek IVF assistance face more difficulties than young people. However, after the opening of the second child policy, the craze for elderly expectant mothers to have a second child has not yet subsided. In vitro fertilization experts point out that the ovarian function of elderly expectant mothers has decreased, and improving their chances of conception should be measured from these aspects.

How to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization for elderly women? Elderly expectant mothers can improve their chances of conception through these aspects:

Firstly, it is very important to seize the time.

The physiological ovarian reserve function of elderly expectant mothers is decreasing. If it's year after year of procrastination, the longer it lasts, the less hope it will be. Studies have shown that ovarian reserve function in women begins to decline by the age of 35, and rapidly decreases around the age of 43. The root cause is a sudden decrease in the number of recruited follicles in the ovaries and a rapid decline in egg quality. Therefore, it is recommended that elderly women with a second child plan undergo early assessment of ovarian reserve function.

Secondly, what should be done if there is a decrease in ovarian reserve function?

The decrease in ovarian reserve function indicates that the opportunity to reproduce children is gradually disappearing. At this point, some substantive measures should be taken.

1. Actively adopting assisted reproductive technology to assist in pregnancy. In the current wave of seeking children in China, most elderly women choose to undergo in vitro fertilization or assisted conception. Assisted reproductive technology is at the forefront of the world, greatly elevating women's reproductive limits. But there is still an age limit, and of course, this age limit can be broken through through assisted pregnancy. Realize the desire to have children through various means. For example, a fertility test tube.

2. The use of adjuvant therapy strategies can improve the pregnancy outcomes of expectant mothers with reduced ovarian reserve function. Adding growth hormone to induce ovulation has been found to be beneficial for patients with poor ovarian response, repeated implantation failures, and age-related ovarian reserve dysfunction during assisted reproductive processes. Adding growth hormone can significantly improve clinical outcomes, including pregnancy rate and live birth rate. Of course, these research results still require larger sample studies to further clarify the auxiliary value of growth hormone in IVF.

How to improve the success rate of in vitro fertilization for elderly women? The above are the precautions that should be taken seriously by patients. It is recommended that patients undergo an IVF evaluation before deciding whether to choose IVF as a pregnancy aid. So far, in vitro fertilization has helped many families achieve healthy childbirth. However, it should be reminded that in vitro fertilization is not omnipotent and cannot guarantee 100% success, so patients also need to be treated with equanimity.
