The silent power of genes
When the desire to have children is not fulfilled, many people ask themselves: ‘Is it simply fate?’ But what if modern medicine can do more today than we long thought possible?
Replaces chance with choice
Biotechnological therapy methods are also opening up new opportunities in genetic diagnostics. One such opportunity is pre-implantation diagnostics, a procedure in which embryos are tested for genetic disorders before being implanted in the uterus. Embryos with abnormal genetic material can thus be identified and excluded at an early stage. The desired child does not follow a wish list – but based on medically sound decisions, we can create the best conditions for a healthy life. The method increases the chance of a successful pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby – especially for couples who have already endured a long history of suffering. They can be given new hope and the fulfilment of their long-awaited desire to have children.
Gentle & safe
A particularly innovative analysis method called ‘Embrace’ helps to decide which embryo should be transferred first – without the need for a biopsy. Instead, the cell-free DNA that the embryo releases into the culture medium is analysed. This allows important genetic information to be obtained without touching the embryo – a major advance in gentle reproductive medicine.
Speaking of genetics: Unfortunately, genetics does not take into account professional fulfilment or social change, according to which 40 is the new 30. The fact is that age remains the biggest influencing factor when it comes to wanting children. That is why you often hear many couples say, ‘The first child came easily, but we are waiting in vain for the second pregnancy.’ This raises the question:
How old is too old to have a baby?
From the age of 32 onwards, female fertility declines significantly faster. However, many couples do not feel ready to have a child at this point in time – whether due to career plans or searching for a partner. This is why it is so important to assess egg reserve and sperm quality at an early stage.
