40, the new age to become a mom

According to a study carried out by INE (National Statistics Institute), in Spain, in this past year of 2020, 5,972 women aged 40 gave birth compared to 3,830 babies born to 25-year-old mothers. For a few years we have been seeing how the statistics are reversed: if in the past, the average age to become a mother was 25 years old, now as a result of labor and social changes, women delay their motherhood. The delay of maternity carries some benefits, without a doubt, such as: psychological maturity, in most cases the step can be given by greater economic, personal and work stability, etc. But as we already know, the mother´s age can also represent possible problems, such as the decrease in the chances of getting pregnant naturally, due to the quality and quantity of oocytes.

The low ovarian response

A few days ago, we were talking about the ¨Low Reserve¨ (few eggs); Today we will talk about ¨Low Response¨, often confused, even in medical literature, with the previous one, but with a different origin and treatment. The ¨Low Response¨ is that situation in which, having sufficient quantity of ovules available in the ovaries, but these do not respond adequately to the treatment; the end result is what makes this situation similar to the “Low Reserve”: few eggs available.
