What to know about fertility in your 40s

WFAA talked to a doctor about what to expect with fertility in your 40s.

We just had our first baby 5 weeks ago. My wife will turn 44 next month and I am 49. The pregnancy went very well and we have what seems to be a very healthy baby. My wife had some bad symptoms during the first trimester though. She now says she misses her belly. Good luck to all the new moms, you will be a mom with lots of wisdom and life experience…..something that some people in their 20s and 30s don’t have.

I had twin boys at 46. Johnathan and Peter 😁

Freezing your eggs is expensive only celebrities can do that.

Please tell me how this video is helpful. Scaring women and worrying them about their age is not helpful. If your not encouraging keep it to yourself. Yet we are the perfect candidates for ivf right? Give me a break
Nothing but negativity instead of encouragement. Its already hard enough for women over 35 to get pregnant we don’t need the medical community to keep reminding us about it. We know! I also know that it is possible. Why don’t you talk about the possibilities and getting your eggs healthy again and strong. Plus ivf and freezing eggs is not for the regular middle class woman, that is ridiculously expensive

IVF and freezing eggs is super expressive. I’m 43 and I’m thinking adoption is my only option when I meet the right person.

Go to a naturopathic doctor get your thyroid and progesterone checked

[syrenaxhaferi]

Half a million eggs...sounds like enough

[melindaiqbal]

You have to be your own advocate very rare do you get the help you need we are not all the same

Part of me wishes I would have did this and the rich me that likes to enjoy the freedom of not being tied down to a kids schedule is glad I didn’t.

Right time to give birth is 60+ by the time you are settled in career

[Sicilainblood]

That is expensive and I know a lady that did that worst experience with ivf ever so I rather not have kids. I’m almost 40 scares me haven’t had one myself. My opinion if it’s meant to happen it is meant to happen not forcing a baby cuz you can have lots of problems from doing that. Just my opinion

[jumpwatson]

no thank you its too late I had my first at 42 and now I am pregnant again at 43, the trick is too get a younger man if your over 35, and I mean young

[singularity]

and here is everyone trying not to have a child

[jonathanexercise]

This k of those who were not able to do this until their 40s because of being socially awkward or not being attractive at all

[MonDieuMaCauseMonEpee]

People over 40 should be adopting, especially women.
