In life, we often face various choices, and for some important life decisions, especially those involving family and the future, we often need to think more carefully. In this article, I would like to explore with you why, in their forties, some men come to desire parenthood.

Around us, there are many DINK couples who once thought that the world of two was carefree. However, as time goes by, feelings of affection and responsibility gradually emerge in life. Sometimes, when seeing other people's children, that feeling of soft cuteness may surge in our hearts, prompting us to contemplate our own lives and families. After experiencing a period of blandness, there is an inner desire for a new life, a little angel carrying love and expectations.

As people grow, their perspectives change. The pursuit of wealth and love in youth gradually evolves into a need for family happiness and emotional support. This internal psychological change often manifests in middle-aged men. They begin to contemplate life goals, harboring a desire to pass on their lineage and to establish a complete family.

With age, women's fertility changes, which is also a factor influencing men's desire for parenthood. Here, I would like to share an important option, which is egg freezing. Egg freezing allows women to preserve eggs when their body condition is optimal, for future use in IVF-PGT.

For women, egg freezing is an effective way to protect fertility. As age increases, fertility gradually declines, but egg freezing can extend the window of fertility. Dr. Nathan Zhang, a medical doctor in the field of assisted reproduction in the United States and the founder of IVF USA, pointed out that from a medical perspective, female fertility peaks around the age of 22 and then begins to decline annually. After 35 years old, ovarian function declines sharply. Women over 40 have a greater than 60% chance of chromosomal abnormalities in embryos due to declining egg quality, directly affecting the occurrence of miscarriages or even fetal health. Fertility is halved again between 40 and 42 years old, and women over 42 years old have their fertility halved again, with a chromosomal abnormality rate of over 90% in embryos of women over 45 years old.

So, what age is suitable for egg freezing? According to Dr. Nathan Zhang's recommendation, it is advisable to complete egg freezing before the age of 35. The quantity of frozen eggs is also a concern, generally ranging from 20 to 30. When making the decision whether to have children, please consider possible future changes. If you still have some hesitation about whether to have children in the future, egg freezing is a forward-looking choice that preserves more possibilities for you.
