São Paulo, 21 (AE) - They ignore the first signs of maternal instinct in the name of career, believing that the reproductive medicine can catch up. Doctors point out that hit the hands of the clock is not always possible.

Failure to achieve an increase in finished graduate school and find the right partner, but the body is in a hurry. No matter whether a world of opportunity is opening before the modern woman. Inside, it remains the same for decades: the nature still waiting for a pregnancy to early twenties. Biology did not have extra years of study and career paths that would slow in almost ten years the biological clock of Brazil.

"She has 38 years, an MBA, is director of a multinational, one time lived abroad and had no time to find a partner, but has the desire to be a mother. This is the profile of women seeking egg freezing . The desire to be a mother may even delay but does not fail, "says Dr. Eduardo Motta, director of the Center for Reproductive Medicine Doctor in Huntington and gynecology at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP).

Freezing eggs is the best option for those who want to be a mother and reached 35 with no prospect of realizing the dream. Not coincidentally, the singer Ana Carolina - supplementing that age in September - announced last week that it will pass by the technique. According to Motta, old age threatens the success of any IVF treatment. "The chance of becoming pregnant by in vitro method is 50% before 35 years and drops to 20% per treatment after 40," he says.

Motta recalls that the option of egg freezing has been increasingly common. "Two years ago the technique was still full of problems, we have more success. I have attended at least one case per month. The problem is that the older the woman, the worse the quality of the eggs. At age 40, for example, biopsy will charge more than 70% of abnormal embryos. "

The doctor ensures that the aging of the moms is a trend. "The clinic is 1995, a period in which the audience was between 30 and 35. Currently, 70% of patients are over 35 and observe a growing demand over 40 years. At this age, however, the rate of abortions fold, which also decreases the chance of success. "

Director of the Brazilian Society of Human Reproduction and Infertility, Department of Marriage Pearl Byington Hospital, Sao Paulo, Artur Dzik, said late pregnancy can have negative consequences for the health of mother and baby. "The prevention of breast cancer and ovarian cancer associated with motherhood is more common in mothers who are between 20 and 30 years," he explains. "Moreover, the risk of having diabetes, hypertension and placental problems is a little higher in late pregnant woman."

The incidence of serious disease in the fetus also increases as age advances pregnant. If the chance of a baby have Down syndrome is one case per thousand births when the mother is 30 years old, this figure rises to one in 100 children between the pregnant women of 40 years. Still, this risk is low. The main problem is that often no longer possible to become pregnant. Ana Carolina, for example, tried everything and failed. Ivete Sangalo and struggled to realize this dream, "he recalls. The singer from Bahia, 37, is pregnant but lost a baby last year.

In the opinion of Dzik, women have the false illusion that the reproductive medicine can catch up. "We can do a lot, but the major obstacle is still the woman's age. Who postponing pregnancy may have chosen not to have children. The woman who knitted all day, skin care and look younger all may think. It is difficult for her to understand that youthful appearance is not reflected in ovarian age. Delaying motherhood is a keynote of the modern woman, but nature is unforgiving. "

To Dzik, women are at a disadvantage before the males in the reproductive field. "They are born with the eggs that will carry for life, they will go through all the good and bad that they face in life. Men, by contrast, semen renew every three months. That is, for them, time is more significant. And yet, the baby becomes more and more later, "he explains.
