Pregnancy over 45 years of age for a woman is not beyond the realms of possibility. With careful planning and approximately 5 months of preparation it is, absolutely, possible to produce an egg that will fertilize and develop into a healthy child.
Each woman is endowed with, literally innumerable eggs when she is born, and there are quite literally thousands of them left in our ovaries when we reach our 40s. Contrary to common belief any one of those eggs could be your healthy baby.
Healthy insides are essential for the production of healthy eggs. Your internal environment should be conducive to having a healthy pregnancy. Hormonal balance needs to be achieved, along with the elimination of toxins and stresses. Good nutrition is very important for both you and your desired offspring.
The follicle begins to develop into two times its earlier size, roughly five months prior to ovulation, and around a month later, it again attains two times its earlier size. The follicle undergoes various transformations in the following 3 months. The follicle starts responding to FSH, 2-3 weeks before ovulation. FSH helps the follicle to grow twice its size, to commence producing estrogen, and release an egg thereafter.
A number of things can affect the growth of a healthy egg. To tart with, hormones are essential for eggs to be produced, and in case your body consists of hormones from non-organic sources of meat and milk products, this will affect the healthy balance of hormones so vital for the growth of follicles.
Pesticides sprayed on our vegetables and fruit, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives used in store bought foods can imitate hormones. Many of the common cleaning products and cosmetics have petroleum based chemicals that can affect the messages your body is sending to its entire systems. You really must even be aware of what is in your over the counter and prescriptions drugs. Your body is sensitive and if it gets the wrong message it will not cooperate.
Hence it is mandatory to rid your body of toxins remaining in your body. In case your body has been at the receiving end of any of the chemicals mentioned by me prior to this, You would gain from a 28-day detoxifying program comprising cleansing of vital organs like, colon, liver kidney, including heavy metal and parasite cleanse. This is all the more essential in case you have in the past had IVF, or consumed fertility drugs, as they invariably tend to disrupt your hormones and formation of egg.
Good nutrition is a primary contributor in the development of healthy eggs. A typical Western diet is lacking in many of the minerals and vitamins your body requires for good health. This applies even to people who consume organic foods every day as well. All potential mothers, in particular more mature women, should take a dietary supplement.
Walking into the supermarket or drugstore and buying nutritional supplements is a nice idea but many of the over the counter vitamins have chemicals and only mimic real nutrients. Your body is not able to absorb the vitamins needed to keep you healthy during your pregnancy, and beyond. I would suggest that you try to use vitamins that contain super foods. Superfoods have been scientifically recognized to provide health benefits and be rich in the nutrients your body needs.
Alkagreens Plus, green superfood mix, and AntioxiPlus consisting of superfood fruits with antioxidant benefits, are the two supplements which work beautifully on my mature mothers.
