Behind the journey of advanced maternal age pregnancies lies not only the challenge of natural laws but also the hope and perseverance of prospective parents. For women over 35, ovarian function gradually declines, and egg quality is limited by age, significantly reducing the chances of natural conception. Meanwhile, men may also face decreased sperm vitality with age. Therefore, more and more older couples are turning to assisted reproductive technologies, hoping to achieve their dream of parenthood through egg donation or surrogacy. 

For Mr. and Mrs. Chen, the path to conception was not easy. They decided to have a child at the age of 40, but after more than a year of effort, they still failed to conceive. As time passed, they had to face a difficult decision: to undergo a fertility assessment and explore the possibility of achieving their dream of parenthood through egg donation and surrogacy. 

Mrs. Chen confessed that when she first heard the doctor mention egg donation, she felt a mix of hesitation and unease. She worried whether the child’s genes would no longer feel “pure” because of egg donation and was concerned about the safety of the entire process. However, after a thorough understanding, she discovered that egg donors undergo strict physical and psychological screening, ensuring the quality of the eggs. Moreover, modern science guarantees that the fertilized egg formed from her husband’s sperm and the donor’s egg carries healthy genetic material. At the same time, egg donation and surrogacy are strictly regulated by legal and medical systems in many countries, with all procedures conducted in a highly safe environment. 

Mr. Chen, on the other hand, focused more on the legality and ethical considerations of surrogacy. They chose a trusted institution and, with the help of professional consultants, learned about the surrogacy process, including the selection of a surrogate mother, the signing of legal contracts, and comprehensive care after embryo transfer. Ultimately, they signed with COSTAIVF, where they experienced the professionalism and warmth of the team. 

Through a successful embryo transfer, Mr. and Mrs. Chen welcomed a healthy baby with the help of the surrogate mother. Mrs. Chen said, “The moment I held the baby for the first time, all my doubts disappeared. I realized that, regardless of genetics, this child is mine and a part of our family.”
