Is it possible to get pregnant at the age of 48?

Patient's question:

I am 48 years old, and now the two-child policy has been opened. My husband and I plan to have a second child. The first one was a son, and we have always wanted a daughter. So, I would like to ask, is the chance of pregnancy high for a woman at 48?

Doctor's answer:

If you are 48 years old and have uterine fibroids, and you want to get pregnant at this time, the probability of getting pregnant is relatively low. Because after women reach the age of 35, ovarian function begins to decline. After 45, the decline in ovarian function is relatively severe. Even without uterine fibroids, the probability of getting pregnant is also relatively low. In this case, it is best to have a pre-pregnancy check-up to see how the condition is.
