Truth be told, a woman might be unable to conceive after she hits menopause which often occurs at 51 years of age and above. Though it is possible to conceive at 50 or higher, certain factors may make the journey from conception to a healthy pregnancy tough for older women.
According to momjunction, if you still desire a chance to have a normal pregnancy and a healthy baby even after you are 50, you should take the following steps;
1. After 50, consult a fetal specialist if you don’t get pregnant after 6months of unprotected sex. You can also visit a specialist right away if you don’t have issues with ovulation, irregular or missed periods or problem with your partner’s sperm.
2. The specialist will get you tested to check if your ovaries are still functional and also check for any problems with the fallopian tubes or with your partner’s sperm
3. If you’re declared fit, then your egg quality must have declined or you’ve become infertile. The specialist will give you advice on alternate options, depending on your condition.
The specialist will most probably recommend Vitro fertilization and egg donation for you. You will then be guided through other procedures after you’ve made your choice.
Dong give up yet, there’s still hope for you. Just make sure you consult experts who will guide you.
