Dear Denise159,
When you reach menopause and have reached a certain age, it is normal to wonder how pregnancy is possible and what the risks are to your health. With the menopause, the ovaries no longer produce eggs and the production of oestrogen and progesterone is significantly reduced. Therefore, spontaneous pregnancy is not possible. However, with donated eggs and hormone replacement therapy (oestrogen and progesterone), the uterus can be prepared to receive an embryo. From a medical point of view, it is possible to become pregnant with the help of assisted reproduction as long as your general state of health allows it. In terms of risks, we know that pregnancies in women over 45 carry a higher risk of high blood pressure during pregnancy and pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes, thromboembolic complications and cardiovascular problems. For this reason, a thorough health examination must be carried out before your treatment to ensure that your body can go through an entire pregnancy and deliver a baby. At Vida Fertility, we require (among other things) a mammogram, an electrocardiogram and a medical certificate from your gynecologist that he/she can monitor your pregnancy.
I hope this answers your questions.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Zermiani
Display MoreGood day
I am 45 years old and going through the menopause. I already have one child, which I had when I was 22.
We are now thinking about pregnancy with EZSP and my partner's sperm.
Now I'm wondering what the health risks are for my body?
With the menopause, my body is actually through with getting pregnant. What does that mean for my body if we send it into pregnancy anyway?
Somehow I can't find any clear, honest information on this question online.
I got pregnant with EZS at 50 and had no complications 
The risks are there as stated in the medical team's post, but it depends on an individual body.
