There are so many misconceptions when dealing with getting pregnant later in life.The phrase The clocks ticking is one bandied about by many a well meaning aunt who still hold to the used by date of a woman being thirty five. Dont let that get you down, because having a healthy and natural conception and pregnancy is possible for women in their forties.
There are innumerable reasons why a woman in her forties may have not had children yet, even if she intends to. Some women have simply chosen to delay having children, but for many it is conception that is the problem.
Infertility is something that affects many couples worldwide; statistically approximately one in seven couples will be affected. Around twenty five percent of fertility trouble will be due to the man, fifty to the woman and the remaining twenty five remain unexplained.
The current doctrine around late pregnancy is that after thirty five eggs become lesser quality and so it is thought that an older woman will take up to three years to conceive. Because of this, many couples are seeking expensive and painful fertility treatments such as IVF.
The market abounds with fertility drugs and expensive medications which aim to stimulate ovulation and increase hormone levels. Of course there is no one pill to fix infertility because every woman is different and sometimes there are multiple factors contributing to infertility, especially if you are in the unexplained twenty five percent.
Having a safe pregnancy in your forties relies on a key realisation about infertility, its not a full stop, just a way your body is telling you there is something wrong inside. With this in mind you can more freely realise that there are many natural ways to heal your body and conceive quickly and naturally and carry a healthy baby to full term.
Conceiving naturally, without drugs and costly medications is within reach of virtually every woman, no matter what the doctors say Taking folic acid and other supplements is a great way to prepare your body, however alone it will not help you to conceive, though it will make your body a better environment when you do conceive.
You would imagine that a woman who is trying to conceive would know her menstrual cycle inside out, however it astounds me to find that many woman dont at all. Knowing when your natural infertile time is in your menstrual cycle can save a lot of emotional strain, time and energy. You can monitor your fertile and infertile times by checking basal body temperature, as your temperature will rise by up to a degree when you are ovulating and fertile. Sometimes woman have been trying at the wrong times for years, and can undo all their frustrations by knowing their bodies rhythms.
Acupuncture has also been proven to aid in fertility rates in a number of studies conducted, however it is wise to realise that one thing alone will not be likely to allow you to get pregnant. Tackling your infertility from many angles is the best way to achieve fast results. The most important thing to remember though is that being diagnosed by a doctor as infertile doesnt mean a full stop. There are many proven ways to conceive naturally and carry your baby to term in health that are surprisingly quick and dont involve drugs or invasive surgery.
