Age and fertility

Fertility is the ability to achieve pregnancy by an individual and it is a known fact that such ability starts to decrease with the increase in the age of the individual. However, it is hard to tell when this happens as the exact age for reduced infertility differs from individual to individual. Sure there are some cases where the couples have conceived despite their old age but that happens rarely.

In some cases, the couples intentionally postpone pregnancy due to career reasons, not ready to take the responsibility of the child, or due to some unforeseen events that force them to conceive at a later age in life. Age is one of the most crucial factors impacting the fertility of an individual. In women, the ability to make healthy fertile eggs declines as she ages and on the other hand, men also face difficulty producing high motility sperms after a certain age. However, the rate of decline in fertility is greater in women as compared to men.

Generally, women over 35 and men over 40 deals with the problem of infertility and fails at achieving pregnancy despite multiple attempts of trying to do so. When in doubt your stage of fertility it is better to consult a fertility specialist as he can advise you the best as to the actions to take in order to have a child at an old age. He may recommend you undergoing methods of assisted reproduction where they employ a technique to effectuate fertilization without requiring the aid of a human body.

Age of the woman and egg-quality

When a woman is born she has all the eggs in her ovarian reserve that she will ever require in life. But with the increase in her age, she experiences diminished quantity and quality of the eggs as the years go by. The decreases quantity of eggs means the decrease in the chances of her attaining pregnancy. Therefore, there are fewer chances of pregnancy after you reach 30 and the chances become even fewer after the age of 45-50. But there is always hope as pregnancy does naturally happens in some cases and is possible for anyone if they undergo fertility treatments such as IUI, IVF, etc.

A woman is considered to be highly fertile before 30 and after the age of 30, her fertility begins to decline. The rate of decrease in fertility increases considerably after the age of 35 and when she reaches 40, the chances of her achieving pregnancy are cut-down to more than half.

Age of the man and sperm-quality

The age of the man also affects the fertility men above the age of 40 have less chances of making their partner pregnant as they become inefficient at making healthy sperms with the decrease in their age. A man produces millions of sperms each day but man over 40 produces less quantity of sperms due to many reasons. Both the quantity and motility of the sperms starts to reduce with the increase in the age of the man.

However, in some instances, it has happened that men with age 80 and 90 have become a father, but again, that is a rare case and there are certain things associated with the whole scenario that lead to the attainment of pregnancy.

Also, the average of the couple also matter when it comes to achieving pregnancy as most of the time there is a huge age gap between the couples. For instance, the risk of a miscarriage happening is greater in women (even if she is 25)  trying to conceive with a male partner who is over the age of 40, due to the old age of the male partner.

What to do in order to conceive at an old age?

If you have been trying to conceive for a long time and do not see any hope of getting a child, then it is the time to get yourself checked by a fertility doctor. The potential reason behind such inability can be your old age, bad-quality eggs, low motility sperms, or any other specific reason that can only be identified after you visit a fertility clinic. Some of the infertility cases can be cured with fertility medicines, while the more severe cases demand the use of fertility treatment such as IUI, IVF, ICSI, IMSI, PICSI, Surrogacy, etc.

IVF or Test tube baby- What is it and how is it performed?

Test-tube baby is the simple term for the most famous fertility treatment known as IVF or In Vitro Fertilization. IVF is the first treatment option that comes to the mind of the couple dealing with infertility and wondering the best fertility treatment for completing their family. It is an extensively used ART (Assisted Reproductive Technology) method to help couples get pregnant with the assistance of reproductive treatment. The test-tube baby treatment is becoming increasingly popular as it offers the benefit of having a child without actually undergoing the natural process of attaining conception.

In vitro means in a glass, this means that the fertilization occurs in a glass or outside the woman’s body. In the course of the test tube baby treatment, the intended parents undergoing the treatment are asked to provide their gametes for facilitating the process of fertilization; the male partner has to provide his semen sample and the female has to give her eggs. Once the gametes are obtained, they are combined in a petri dish in a lab. This mixing leads to fertilization and the formation of an embryo, which then gets transferred to the woman’s womb with the help of a process called embryo transfer. After two weeks, blood tests and pregnancy tests are done to confirm a healthy pregnancy.

Surrogacy- Process and types

Surrogacy is an arrangement that involves utilizing the pregnancy or surrogacy services of a woman called a surrogate mother. The surrogate mother carries the pregnancy on behalf of the infertile couples who hire her in order to have a baby. After nine months, surrogate hands over the baby to the intended parents and revoke any rights on the child. It is a legally transparent arrangement or contract as both the parties sign an agreement that describes their roles and duties as to the surrogacy process and none of them can deny performing their part after signing the agreement.

Different Types of Surrogacy

Surrogacy is one of the most advanced ways of having a baby as it offers the advantage of having a baby without actually requiring the intending mother to carry the baby. There are two main types of surrogacy arrangements that are explained below.

Traditional Surrogacy: Traditional surrogacy is a process in which the doctor artificially inseminates the surrogate with the sperms. The surrogate mother attains pregnancy and carries the baby till term and delivers it to the intended parents in due course. This type of surrogacy arrangement is less desirable as the child does not share biological ties with the intended parents. However, the child may get genetically related to the father if his sperms were used for insemination.

Gestational Surrogacy: Gestational surrogacy or gestational carrier is a preferred surrogacy treatment because here the child can share genetic relations with both the parents. In the process of gestational surrogacy, first IVF treatment is performed in which the eggs and the sperms of the intended parents are obtained for effectuating fertilization. The resulting embryo is transferred into the uterus of the surrogate mother who then carries the pregnancy to term. She relinquishes any rights on the child upon the delivery and the intended parents are considered as the legal parents of the child.

How Test tube baby differs from Surrogacy?

Both test-tube baby and surrogacy are famous fertility treatments as they offer the highest success rates and effective results to the patients. However, both the two fertility treatments are different from another on the basis of the method by which they are performed.

Here are some key differences between Test-tube baby and Surrogacy.

  • Test-tube baby treatment fertilizing the eggs with the sperms in a lab environment and then implanting the resulting embryo inside the womb of the mother or a surrogate mother. Whereas, surrogacy involves explicitly using the services of another woman who carries the baby for another woman as she cannot do it herself due to various reasons or health issues.
  • IVF or test-tube baby is performed by one method only and surrogacy can be arranged in two ways, which are the traditional method and the gestational method.
  • In the test-tube baby, fertilization happens in a laboratory petri dish instead of the human body. On the other hand, traditional surrogacy involves fertilization inside the surrogate’s body as she uses her own eggs for fertilization.
  • Test-tube baby treatment can cause damage to the ovaries of the woman, while there are fewer chances of ovarian damage in the traditional surrogacy treatment.

    the-Surrogacy-Bill.jpg

    The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2019 approved and passed by the Lok Sabha on August 5, 2019, turned out to be controversial by various Rajya Sabha members due to the presence of different clauses such as prohibiting any woman other than a ‘close relative’ to act as a surrogate. Therefore, it had to undergo a revaluation process on November 21, 2019, by a selected committee.

    There were 9 sittings of comprehensive assessments and detailed discussion on the bill held by the committee with the other major stakeholders such as the National Human Rights Commission, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights, and the department of health research.

    Bhupendar Yadav, the chairman of the Select Committee for the Surrogacy (Regulation Bill), 2019, submitted the report in the Rajya Sabha suggesting the following:-

    • Ban on commercial surrogacy
    • Allowing any willing woman to act a surrogate besides a ‘close relative’
    • Removing the five-year wait period clause before couples can opt for surrogacy
    • Enabling single women and Persons of Indian Origin (PIOs) to avail surrogacy

    The select committee also suggested extending the insurance coverage period for surrogate mothers to 36 months from 16 months. The report also said that single women, in the age group of 35 to 45 years, which also includes widowed and divorced women, can opt for surrogacy.

    Apart from supporting commercial surrogacy, the committee has advised considering the option of paying the surrogate mother for the additional expenses besides the compensation of medical and insurance coverage such as the requirement of a nutritional diet during pregnancy, maternity clothes expenses, and other essential expenses for maintaining great health of the surrogate mother.

    The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2019, aims to form a suitable regulation for the surrogacy procedure and avert exploitation of the surrogate mother and the child born through surrogacy. It also recommends allowing widow or divorcee women to avail surrogacy.

    The committee has eliminated the contentious clause of ‘close relative’ and has endorsed an alternative term ‘willing woman,’ which means any woman can provide her surrogacy services even if she is not a near relative. The report states that “the term “close relative” potentially restricts the availability of surrogate mothers and may affect the genuinely needy persons.”

    The select committee report stated that “Surrogacy per se and The Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2019, in particular, is a unique amalgamation of social, ethical, moral, legal and scientific issues and it is necessary to harmonize the conflicting interests inherent in the process of surrogacy to ensure betterment of child while protecting rights of surrogate mother.”

    It also said, “It is a step in that direction which seeks to regulate surrogacy procedure in such a way as to stop exploitation of poor vulnerable women; to ensure protection of rights of the child born out of surrogacy and to facilitate only needy infertile couple and widow and divorced women to have child to complete their family.”

    The Surrogacy Bill also proposes to ban commercial surrogacy and only allow altruistic surrogacy.  In the 228th Report (2009) of Law Commission of India strictly recommended interdicting commercial surrogacy and permits ethical altruistic surrogacy regulated by proper legislation, as presented by The Department of Health Research. The other countries in which the same types of surrogacy arrangements are performed are New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, Israel, Netherlands, United Kingdom, Australia, etc.

      Conscious-about-your-fertility-potential-Things-you-need-to-know-1200x1250.jpg

      To know whether a male or female facing fertility issues, the specialist will go over some sexual history, health history, any past medical problem, how often the couple involves sexual intercourse and some other relevant information.

      A male has to undergo a physical evaluation test and if recommended then the male has to go for a semen analysis test too- these tests clarify the specialist to know the root cause behind his infertility (if there is any). Semen analysis test is a test performed to know if there are any issues in a male’s fertility system. If the sperm is found non-motile, inactive or very less in the count then the specialists will further look for the treatment suitable for his case. We are going to discuss the most preferred fertility treatment options for males (females also) as this page goes down.

      Talking about the female fertility diagnostic tests, the specialist starts questioning about female’s any past medical history if any surgery she has been undergone; a physical exam and a pelvic exam is carried out. The specialist makes sure that the female is ovulating properly and releasing the eggs from her ovaries without any barrier. Specialists also take blood tests to evaluate hormonal levels. If necessary, female’s uterus and fallopian tubes are examined by specific X-ray tests and ultrasound.

      Approximate 70-80% of females have a common issue behind their infertility with their ovulation issue or have blocked fallopian tubes. Males have sperm issues (such as inactive, less motile, low count of sperm or morphologically unfit sperm). In 5-15% of infertility cases, the cause is unknown or idiopathic.

      Women facing ovulation issues can be solved by fertility medication but if a woman faces severe infertility issues such as painful menstrual cycle, irregular ovulation (or menstruation for the past few months), then she needs to undergo advanced fertility treatment options to have own baby. The same goes for males if a male experiences mild male factor infertility, then by the help of IUI treatment he can impregnate his partner.

      What are your Fertility Treatment Options- Let’s have a look 

      Thanks to the advanced medical technology, this has opened many gates for the childless couples to get their baby by different fertility treatment options. Several Fertility Treatment Options are available to eradicate the couple’s infertility issue such as –

      • Fertility medications and drugs associated with ovary stimulation
      • High-tech ART technique (Assistive Reproductive Technology)
      • IVF or Test Tube Baby Treatment
      • Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
      • Surgery (if required)

      Some other Fertility Treatment Options include the following –

      • One of the advanced Fertility Treatment Option is the Egg Donation Method – This is the procedure, where a fertile and healthy woman donates her eggs to help another infertile female to build her family. The woman who donates her eggs could be a known or unknown egg donor. This is the best treatment option available for those couples, wherein the female partner is unable to supply the fine quality of the eggs.
      • Gestational Surrogacy – This fertility treatment option is best for those couples, who are unfit to carry the pregnancy or have experienced multiple IVF failures; this procedure is best suitable for those females, whose uterus have some abnormalities or maybe the female has undergone the surgery of hysterectomy (the uterus is removed).
      • Adoption method – an option to have a kid (not biologically related) from the third party.

      Some Best Fertility Treatment Options – 

      I hope you have read the above methods of getting pregnant, along with the above infertility treatments, there are numbers of fertility treatments that are discussed below. These fertility treatment options are the best and preferred in almost all the infertility cases of males and females based on their reports.

      It is always not important that a couple has to go for fertility treatment to have their child; rather there are some natural ways too such as weight loss, eating a proper diet, stick on healthy routine (that includes daily exercise, yoga). Yoga is the best way to transform yourself into the happiest way because there are some couples, who at initial phase get frustrated and anxious about not being pregnant, by dong yoga a person feels relax and calm at mind this is why yoga and breathing technique can give in a positive result for your pregnancy.

      Those dealing with depression stress of infertility and restlessness can choose fertility treatments such as acupuncture, massage, and counseling.

      Even if you are undergoing any advance fertility treatment then yoga helps you to relax and feel better all through the way of treatment. Go IVF Surrogacy is the leading centre that provides a familiar touch along with the best fertility treatment option.

      2. Artificial Insemination – 

      This is one of the basic male infertility treatments, where washed sperms are directly placed into the uterus of the female (at the time of her ovulation). This treatment option with or without be done using ovulation medication because if the female is ovulating regularly then an ovulation detector can be used to find the exact date of the female ovulation phase.

      3. IVF – 

      As stated above too, IVF is one of the most productive and advanced fertility treatment options available to resolve infertility issues. IVF is also performed using different techniques such as donor egg, donor sperm, and donor embryo (as per the case of infertility in a couple).

      1. ICSI – 

      ICSI – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection involves is followed by IVF treatment but during the procedure of fertilization during ICSI, a single (motile and active) sperm is inserted into each egg (that has been picked up from the female’s ovaries). ICSI is a male infertility treatment and shows a high success rate too.

      1. Fertility Preservation Option – 

      Yes, now a couple can preserve their fertility for later, how? They can simply freeze the eggs by choosing an authentic fertility centre you can undergo this procedure.

      1. Egg Donation – 

      Women who are unqualified to supply with healthy eggs during the egg retrieval procedure of her IVF treatment, donation egg is the best option to go for. During egg donation, an egg donor undergoes all the medications until the completion of her egg pick-up process.

      1. Surrogacy – 

      Surrogacy is the best option in the ART technique and is used by those couples, wherein the female partners are unable to carry the baby in the womb due to any uterine issue (or removal of the surgery- Hysterectomy).

        • Age of the female
        • The health of the male and female both as a couple
        • Now facing of the genetic disorder by the couple themselves and the family members of the couple including the family of both the male and female members.

        Also, the problem must be with the sperms of the male partner too as the male partner if having the age above 45 years than he is not able to extract the sperms which must be of the sound quality and also which is more or less required in making the female pregnant. Adding on to this also, he might face some problems of genetic disorders and genetic abnormalities relative and included within such an issue to be resolved with such kind of acquisitions and also with the increasing age too he is facing the relative issues of the same aspect.
