There are many beliefs about the ideal age to become a mother, but the truth is that there’s no rule that determines when is the right time to start a family.
However, the human body is most fertile for a very clear period. This is why many couples feel the pressure of the so-called “biological clock” since the human body is generally at its most fertile between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.
Now, this does not mean that after that age couples are incapable of having children, but it is necessary to know that difficulties and limitations can begin to arise, which may generate avoidable anguish.
Motherhood in your forties
At Babynova, we understand the decision to embark on the adventure of motherhood at the age of 40, as it is a courageous act and each woman has her own reasons and life story.
We understand that creating a family looks different for everyone, and there’s no one-size-fits-all timeline. We celebrate women who embrace motherhood whenever the time feels right.
One of our methods to ensure fertility preservation is egg freezing. The effectiveness of this method depends largely on two key factors: the age and the quality of the eggs.
As the years go by, the quality of women’s eggs naturally declines, which reduces the chances of success in freezing and subsequent fertility treatments. However, there are alternatives that we make available thanks to our specialists, so that women always have the power to choose which one best suits their possibilities and preferences.
Alternative methods for conception
While egg freezing offers a viable alternative for preserving fertility, other options may be considered depending on the individual needs and circumstances:
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): this technique involves retrieving eggs from the woman and fertilizing them with sperm in a specialized laboratory. The resulting embryos are cultured for several days before the most viable ones are selected to be transferred to the uterus. IVF can be useful in cases of poor egg quality, fallopian tube blockage or difficult sperm problems.
- Egg donation: If the quality of the eggs of your own is very low, or there is a total absence of eggs, egg donation may be an option. In this process, eggs from an anonymous donor are used for in vitro fertilization.
If fertilization is achieved, PGD (preimplantation genetic diagnosis) may be recommended to test the embryos before the transference to the uterus.
This allows the identification of embryos with greater potential for healthy development and reduces the risk of chromosomal abnormalities that may result in special conditions in babies in the future.
At Babynova we are dedicated to providing the guidance and support needed to overcome these obstacles, ensuring that every step towards motherhood is informed and safe.
These cutting-edge techniques open the doors to new possibilities for those who wish to become mothers and have some fertility problems or special conditions, and provide the opportunity to effectively plan for the circumstances of that journey.

That’s why we’re committed to providing you with a range of options, cutting-edge procedures, and a team of experts to help you navigate this journey with confidence and peace of mind.
