It is a challenge trying to conceive later in life but more common than people realize, usually by those that thought they could no longer conceive and ended up pregnant in late age by spouse/partner. There are new advances in medicine using stem cell therapy to allow the body to make healthier eggs as we age. As with most medical advances, the treatment was organized with the hope of relieving symptoms of early onset menopause (lack of sex drive, painful intercourse and vaginal dryness to name a few.— oh how our job is never done as women. Lol. What a surprise to the medical community and patients when instead pregnancy occurred. Viagra was initially for hypertension- one of many medical surprises. It’s unfortunate when these things occur the cost of service is increased 100 fold, Many medical journals, the national institute of health-NIH and UCLA has a plethora of information. Adipose derived stem cells to name one. Many blessing to all making the attempt and never give up, sometimes just the anxiety of trying prevents the occurrence.

For as long as you’re following a good prenatal routine, going on regular checkups, and eating a proper diet, you’re good to go. However, this can be truly risky. That’s why it’s best for the mother to take extra care of herself. And I’m glad that you didn’t have a hard time on your journey.
