Patient's question:
I am 36 years old and got married this June, but I have not been able to get pregnant in these past few months. I have been to the hospital for check-ups and confirmed that I have ovulation, but for some reason, I still haven't been able to get pregnant. Could you please tell me if it's possible for me to get pregnant at this age?Doctor's answer:
Those who are fertile, of course, older women, should first undergo pre-pregnancy examinations. This is also considered from the perspective of maintaining their own health, ensuring healthy reproduction, and postpartum recovery. It is recommended that you first undergo various examinations such as endocrine, ovary, eggs, uterus, immunity, and the male's sperm. These examinations also have time requirements, and choosing the right time to conduct the tests will yield more accurate results and higher clinical reference value. Generally, hormone tests are done on the second or third day of the menstrual cycle, and routine and ovulation tests are conducted around the tenth day. The male should abstain from sex for 5-7 days before the examination.
