Most women who are getting along in years share a mutual anxiety about getting pregnant after forty. There are a number of medical findings and research studies that have shows that getting pregnant after forty is not just difficult but also hard for the body because with the onset of age after forty the female body clock begins to slow down and the body steadily loses its ability to conceive and its ability to bear and nourish a baby. When a woman crosses the thirty mark her fertility levels begin to dip down and near forty most women begin to approach menopause after which conception is not possible. It is advisable to try for children between one's twenties and thirties but if you must try getting pregnant after forty use some of our tips and advice on how to conceive and
The first step in getting pregnant after forty is to ensure that you are of a sound medical condition. You cannot simply go ahead blindly and try to conceive; it is essential to first ensure that you are healthy enough to bear a child and see through the entire term of the pregnancy without any fatal complications. Check up with a doctor before making any attempts.
Begin consuming prescribed fertility drugs. These fertility drugs can help you to boost your chances of conceiving. Fertility drugs can also be taken as supplements to other medical treatments or medication. They help by raising the levels of hormones that should be occurring naturally but have started depleting by the age of forty.
Artificial insemination is an excellent way of getting pregnant after forty, especially in cases where the man is even older. Older men do not have as much trouble as women in reproducing but even their sperm count begins to deplete. If you go in for an artificial insemination operation the surgeons will take a few sperms from your partner and implant them in the vicinity of your cervix during the peak ovulation period so that the ovum released in this time has maximum chances of fusing with the sperm. When artificial insemination techniques are combined with the use of fertility drugs the chances of conception are increased even further.
In Vitro Fertilization is another option for women over forty who want to bear children but are having a difficult time in doing so. In this method the egg and the sperm are taken from the couple and forced to fuse under laboratory conditions and once a number of fertilizations have occurred they are placed into the body of the mother. This ensures an almost definite implantation of the zygote in the uterine wall.
One of the most important elements of getting pregnant after forty is to maintain very good health. Exercising regularly, sleeping at least 8 hours every day, eating good food and avoiding all harmful and detrimental habits such as smoking and drinking alcohol are a must.
