Is it possible to become a mother through IVF at the age of 40?

When we talk about IVF, most people focus on the embryo, egg, sperm, and hormonal injections. But there’s another important part that’s often overlooked—the inner lining of the uterus, called the endometrium.
This is the soil where the seed of dreams, the embryo, is planted.

🧫 What is the endometrium?

The endometrium is the delicate layer that thickens each month during the menstrual cycle, allowing an embryo to attach to it if fertilization occurs. In IVF, when an artificially created embryo is placed into the uterus, this layer plays a crucial role in the success of a pregnancy.

❓ Why is the endometrial lining important in IVF?

Embryo Implantation:
A healthy and thick endometrial lining welcomes the embryo to its ‘homecoming’.

🔹 Blood circulation and nutrition:
This layer provides initial nutrition and oxygen to the embryo, which helps maintain the pregnancy.

🔹 Immune Balance:
A balanced endometrium helps the mother’s body not recognize the fetus as a “stranger.”

What should be the ideal thickness of the endometrium in IVF?

The endometrium should generally be between 7 and 12 mm thick for successful IVF .
👉 A thickness of less than 6 mm significantly reduces the chances of pregnancy.
👉 A thickness greater than 15 mm may also pose some risks.

 Causes of thin endometrial lining:

  • Estrogen deficiency
  • Repeated D&Cs or miscarriages
  • Endometrial TB or infection
  • obstruction of blood flow
  • Smoking or excessive stress

    🌿 How to make the endometrium healthy before IVF?

    🔸 Medicines:
  • Estrogen tablets/patches
  • vasodilators such as sidenafil
  • G-CSF (Growth factors)
  • Progesterone Support
    🔸 Lifestyle Tips:
  • abstaining from smoking and alcohol
  • Foods rich in iron and vitamin E
  • Yoga and light exercise to increase blood flow
  • Adequate sleep and stress management

🔸 Advanced Technologies:

  • PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) therapy
  • hyperbaric oxygen therapy

The importance of the lining of the uterus for pregnancy: Why is the role of the uterine lining important in IVF?

When we talk about IVF, most people focus on embryo, egg, sperm and hormonal injections. But there’s another important aspect that’s often overlooked. The inner layer of the uterus is called the endometrium.
This is the land where the seed of dreams is sown.

What is endometriosis?

The endometrium is the delicate layer that thickens every month during the menstrual cycle, so that if fertilization has occurred, the embryo can stick to it. In IVF, when the embryo is artificially prepared and inserted into the womb, this layer plays a decisive role in the success of conception.

Why is endometrial lining important in IVF?

1. Embryo implantation
A healthy and thick endometrial lining is what gives the embryo the welcome of ‘home entry’.

2. Blood circulation and nutrition:
This layer provides early nutrition and oxygen to the fetus, which helps to maintain conception.

3. Immune Balance:
A balanced endometrium helps the mother’s body not to consider the fetus a “stranger.”

What is the ideal thickness of the endometrium in IVF?

The thickness of the endometrium for a successful IVF should usually be between 7 and 12 mm.
👉 If it is less than 6 mm, the chances of pregnancy are significantly reduced.
👉 There may be some risks even if it is more than 15 mm.

Due to the thin endometrial lining:

  • Lack of estrogen
  • Frequent D & C or abortion.
  • Endometrial TB or Infection
  • Interruption in blood flow
