Thanks to new improvements in fertility treatments, American women are becoming mothers later than ever lately. Thus, the number of women having their first child between the ages of 40 and 44 more than quadrupled from 1985 to 2012, and the number of births reached 109,579 in 2012, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. diseases (O' Brien,2014). Women are most likely to conceive during their 20s, the cutoff age for trying to conceive is 37. There should be a point where doctors tell you it's time to stop treatments (cycles), but instead clinics will try to sell you. What we women don't realize is the high cost, process and outcome of these fertility treatments. Unfortunately, couples invest so much in a process and can come away with a disappointing outcome. So I myself don't support fertility treatments, these things can cause too much emotional distress. A common treatment is fertility drugs, which can be injected or taken in pill form. These drugs release ovulation-inducing hormones to increase egg production and make the uterus more receptive to embryo implantation. For those women who do not ovulate regularly this treatment is the best. This is the main treatment for women with ovulation disorders. Success rates for those who choose to take the pills range from 40 to 45% ovulation and pregnancy rates (Donna, 2011). Fertility drugs are usually the first choice, due to the lower cost. Some side effects of the pills are bloating, nausea, headache, and hot flashes. With the injection, however, the side effects are greater, such as the risk of multiple births, premature birth and the formation of large ovarian cysts. These treatments... middle of paper... can harm your body. So many different chemicals are put into your body to try to conceive, but let's think about how much damage they cause? Don't we women realize that if we already have problems with our uterus, eggs, and fallopian tubes, why would having all these surgeries and taking all these medications still help our situation? I honestly don't think these treatments are safe and they are also very expensive. We still have the option of adoption if we are unable to have children. I think that's the safest route left. Why should we go through the pain of knowing that these treatments might not work? I believe you put yourself at risk for other complications by going this route. So no, I don't think women should use fertility treatments. It is not safe or healthy for a woman to subject her body to this.
