Yes, pregnancy is possible after the age of 40, although the chances of conception naturally decrease with age. As women get older, their fertility gradually declines due to a decrease in the number and quality of eggs in their ovaries. Additionally, there is an increased risk of certain health conditions, such as chromosomal abnormalities in the baby, gestational diabetes, and high blood pressure during pregnancy (High risk pregnancy). So, set of investigations required to be done to determine the risk.
However, many women in their 40s do conceive and have healthy pregnancies. Advancements in reproductive technology, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), can also help increase the chances of pregnancy for older women. IVF involves fertilizing an egg with sperm outside the body and then transferring the embryo to the uterus.
It's important for women who are considering pregnancy in their 40s to consult with a healthcare provider or fertility specialist. They can assess individual factors such as overall health, medical history, and provide guidance on fertility treatments or options that may be suitable.
Donor IVF, or in vitro fertilization using donated eggs, can be a viable option for women over 40 who are experiencing age-related fertility decline or have other medical reasons that prevent them from conceiving with their own eggs.
