Patient's question:
My boyfriend is 20 years younger than me and is planning to marry me this year. I am 44 years old, and we are planning to have a child. At this age, we can't afford to wait any longer. We have been trying to conceive for a month now, but haven't gotten pregnant yet. We have had many sexual encounters, and I wonder if it has something to do with the positions we use during sex. Could it be that the age difference between us is too great, making it impossible for our sperm and eggs to combine?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help clarify this for you. As long as your menstrual cycle is normal, menopause is also normal. You've only been trying to conceive for a month, so don't hurry. It's generally not related to sexual positions—just as long as sperm enters the vagina, there's a possibility of getting pregnant. Stress can significantly affect conception. I suggest relaxing and focusing on your age, as it's mainly related to that. This advice is for the question "Can I still get pregnant at 44?" I hope it helps, and wish you good health!
