Overview

As women age, the quality and quantity of their eggs decline, which can significantly impact fertility. A key indicator of a woman’s ovarian reserve is the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) level, which tends to decrease with age, particularly after 40, making conception more challenging.
In this video, Dr Vaishali Chaudhary, Director- IVF & Fertility, Sahyadri Super Speciality Hospital, Nagar Road, Pune. discusses about the IVF process, from ovarian stimulation and egg retrieval to fertilization and embryo transfer.
She sheds light on the specific challenges faced by women in this age group, such as lower egg quality, reduced ovarian reserve, and higher risks of genetic abnormalities. Despite these challenges, advances in reproductive technology offer hope and potential solutions for older women looking to conceive.
Furthermore, Dr. Vaishali talks about the various aspects of IVF for women over 40, providing valuable insights into the strategies and treatments that can improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
