When should I worry about my reproductive health?

We usually worry about our diet, about eating healthy to avoid diseases such as the dreaded cancer, about doing sports to have better mobility, about having good cardiovascular health…; however, in general, we don’t think about how important it is to have a good reproductive health until the time comes when we decide to start a family.

Without a doubt, the best advice is to have regular gynecological check-ups at reproductive age, and to ask for information and advice regarding family planning according to your personal circumstances. If your age is almost 35, you should ask your gynecologist about the possibility of freezing your eggs via the vitrification process that preserves the fertility of your eggs with guarantees that are close to 100%.

Another issue to consider after the age of 30 is the ovarian reserve evaluation, that is, your ability to produce quality eggs. In order to do so, it is necessary to request a transvaginal ultrasound scan. With the result obtained, and depending on your projects, you will be able to program your maternity or preserve your fertility, if you choose to postpone the moment of being a mother with the advanced treatments that Reproductive Medicine offers you.

The optimum age to maintain the fertility of your eggs over time is to vitrify them, in other words, to freeze them at an ultra-fast speed in liquid nitrogen, so that they do not lose their quality. This is the best advice for women who want to achieve professional accomplishments and financial goals without giving up motherhood and starting a family in the future.

This is also the best option for women who, being young, have to undergo some type of treatment that may compromise their fertility. Keeping their eggs frozen gives them the chance to carry on with their family life project once the illness has been overcome.

If you’re turning 40 and you want to be a mother, don’t wait any longer. At this age, the risk of not getting pregnant is higher, and the particular possibilities will depend on the woman’s health. On the other hand, if it is achieved, there is a greater chance that it will end before the third month or that the baby will present some malformation. Once pregnancy has been achieved, we currently have studies that can confirm the state of the future baby from week 9-10 of gestation.

Many of the women who do not vitrify their eggs will be those who tomorrow will have to use assisted fertilization techniques, some of them will even use ovodonation. Currently, the most effective assisted reproduction technique performed is that of anonymously donated eggs, it makes motherhood easier for a woman who cannot have children with her own eggs.
