The body of an average person over the last century, much younger, people are living longer, and therefore longer retain the ability to bear children. Menopause, as a natural function of the extinction of the reproductive system, shifted by 5-7 years, and up to 45-47 years a woman can become a mother. The question is that it is very limited in time and planning pregnancy should take place under medical supervision.

Necessarily hand over the analysis on AMG (antiurease hormone), these data will allow to understand whether there is enough in the woman's body egg, or the ovaries are depleted and need to resort to ovarian stimulation with subsequent IVF.

The couple should be sure to visit the genetics to determine risks of genetic diseases with either party. Need the conclusion of almost all specialists: the dentist, endocrinologist, ophthalmologist, otolaryngologist and an internist. Prospective parents are invited to go through a complete diagnosis, including laboratory. If a woman is not sick, or she has no antibodies to rubella, and chickenpox, should be vaccinated. Next, the doctor prescribes vitaminoterapia. Mandatory intake of folic acid, which is responsible for the normal formation of the nervous system of the fetus, multivitamin preparations, iron supplements and calcium.
