  pregnant
• 0:57
  naturally
• 0:58
  after

  45.
• 1:00
  Fiction.
• 1:01
  Some
• 1:01
  people
• 1:01
  can.
• 1:02
  Yeah,
• 1:02
  some

  You

  hear
• 1:04
  those
• 1:04
  stories,
• 1:04
  you

  Freezing

  your

  eggs

  guarantees
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  a
• 1:08
  baby
• 1:09
  later
• 1:10
  fiction.
• 1:11
  There
• 1:12
  is
• 1:12
  no
• 1:12
  guarantee
• 1:12
  with
• 1:13
  freezing
• 1:13
  your
• 1:13
  eggs.
• 1:14
  Okay.
• 1:15
  So
• 1:15
  you
• 1:15
  could
• 1:15
  freeze
• 1:15
  an
• 1:15
  amazing
• 1:16
  quality
• 1:17
  egg
• 1:17
  and
• 1:17
  it
• 1:17
  just
• 1:17
  doesn't
• 1:18
  implant
• 1:19
  or
• 1:19
  the
• 1:19
  pregnancy.
• 1:21
  What
• 1:21
  if
• 1:21
  your
• 1:21
  Future
• 1:21
  husband
• 1:22
  is
• 1:22
  90
• 1:22
  years
• 1:22
  old
• 1:23
  and
• 1:23
  has
• 1:23
  one
• 1:23
  measly
• 1:24
  sperm?
• 1:24
  Yeah,
• 1:25
  that
• 1:26
  would
• 1:26
  be
• 1:26
  a
• 1:26
  problem.
• 1:27
  Yep.
• 1:28
  For
• 1:29
  pregnancy
• 1:29
  at
• 1:29
  least.
• 1:31
  Sperm
• 1:32
  quality
• 1:33
  doesn't
• 1:33
  decline
• 1:34
  until
• 1:34
  after
• 1:35
  60.
• 1:36
  Fiction.
• 1:38
  Sperm
• 1:38
  quality
• 1:39
  starts
• 1:39
  to
• 1:39
  decline
• 1:40
  around
• 1:40
  40.
• 1:41
  Oh,
• 1:42
  okay,
• 1:42
  this
• 1:43
  is
• 1:43
  interesting.
• 1:43
  So
• 1:44
  their
• 1:44
  men
• 1:45
  and
• 1:45
  women
• 1:45
  are
• 1:46
  on
• 1:46
  a
• 1:47
  similar
• 1:47
  trajectory
• 1:48
  as
• 1:48
  far
• 1:48
  as
• 1:48
  like
• 1:49
  the
• 1:49
  quality
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  the
• 1:50
  egg
• 1:50
  and
• 1:51
  sperm
• 1:51
  goes
• 1:52
  the
• 1:52
  decline.
• 1:53
  For
• 1:53
  men,
• 1:54
  it
• 1:54
  never
• 1:55
  stops.
• 1:55
  They
• 1:55
  continue
• 1:56
  to
• 1:56
  make
• 1:56
  sperm.
• 1:57
  But
• 1:57
  some
• 1:57
  men's
• 1:58
  sperm
• 1:58
  starts
• 1:58
  to
• 1:59
  decline
• 1:59
  around
• 1:59
  40,
• 2:00
  but
• 2:00
  unlike
• 2:01
  women,
• 2:01
  it
• 2:02
  doesn't
• 2:02
  end.
• 2:03
  So
• 2:03
  you
• 2:03
  may
• 2:03
  have
• 2:04
  average
• 2:04
  sperm
• 2:05
  and
• 2:05
  be
• 2:06
  60,
• 2:06
  but
• 2:06
  still
• 2:07
  have
• 2:07
  it.
• 2:08
  Okay,
• 2:08
  so
• 2:08
  the
• 2:08
  quantity
• 2:09
  is
• 2:09
  still
• 2:09
  there.
• 2:10
  The
• 2:10
  quantity
• 2:10
  kind
• 2:10
  of
• 2:11
  never
• 2:11
  drops.
• 2:12
  They
• 2:12
  both
• 2:12
  drop.
• 2:13
  They
• 2:13
  both
• 2:13
  drop.
• 2:14
  Okay,
• 2:15
  but
• 2:15
  it's
• 2:15
  still
• 2:15
  usable
• 2:16
  and
• 2:16
  you
• 2:16
  can
• 2:17
  still
• 2:17
  make
• 2:17
  a
• 2:17
  kid
• 2:17
  with
• 2:17
  it.
• 2:18
  Yeah,
• 2:18
  even
• 2:18
  a
• 2:18
  90
• 2:19
  year
• 2:19
  old.
• 2:19
  Like
• 2:19
  you're
• 2:19
  saying
• 2:20
  one
• 2:20
  sperm
• 2:20
  maybe
• 2:21
  does
• 2:21
  the
• 2:21
  trick.
• 2:22
  Yep.
• 2:23
  That's
• 2:23
  so
• 2:23
  interesting.
• 2:25
  IVF
• 2:26
  works
• 2:26
  the
• 2:27
  first
• 2:27
  time
• 2:27
  for
• 2:28
  most
• 2:28
  women.
• 2:29
  Fact.
• 2:30
  Okay,
• 2:32
  so
• 2:32
  I
• 2:32
  think
• 2:33
  it
• 2:33
  depends
• 2:33
  on
• 2:33
  where
• 2:33
  you
• 2:34
  go,
• 2:34
  but
• 2:35
  I
• 2:35
  have
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  lot
• 2:35
  of
• 2:36
  patients
• 2:37
  that
• 2:37
  it
• 2:37
  does
• 2:37
  work
• 2:37
  the
• 2:38
  first
• 2:38
  time.
• 2:39
  Okay.
• 2:39
  Oh,
• 2:40
  that's
• 2:40
  84%,
• 2:41
  right?
• 2:42
  84%.
• 2:43
  Well,
• 2:44
  84%
• 2:45
  of
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  transfer
• 2:46
  led
• 2:47
  to
• 2:47
  pregnancy.
• 2:48
  Sometimes
• 2:48
  it
• 2:48
  took
• 2:49
  two
• 2:49
  or
• 2:49
  three
• 2:49
  tries
• 2:50
  to
• 2:50
  get
• 2:50
  an
• 2:50
  embryo
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  go
• 2:51
  to
• 2:51
  a
• 2:51
  transfer.
• 2:52
  Okay,
• 2:53
  so
• 2:53
  there's
• 2:53
  two
• 2:53
  parts
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  ivf.
• 2:55
  Making
• 2:55
  of
• 2:55
  the
• 2:56
  healthy
• 2:56
  embryo
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  then
• 2:56
  the
• 2:57
  transfer
• 2:57
  of
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  embryo.
• 2:58
  Okay.
• 2:59
  Which
• 2:59
  part
• 3:00
  is
• 3:00
  more
• 3:00
  harrowing
• 3:01
  or
• 3:01
  more
• 3:01
  difficult?
• 3:03
  That's
• 3:03
  a
• 3:04
  really
• 3:04
  good
• 3:04
  question.
• 3:05
  I
• 3:05
  think
• 3:05
  they
• 3:05
  both
• 3:06
  Are.
• 3:06
  The
• 3:07
  first
• 3:07
  part
• 3:08
  involves
• 3:08
  a
• 3:08
  lot
• 3:08
  of
• 3:09
  protocols
• 3:09
  and
• 3:09
  monitoring
• 3:10
  and
• 3:10
  timing.
• 3:12
  The
• 3:12
  second
• 3:12
  part
• 3:13
  takes
• 3:13
  a
• 3:13
  lot
• 3:13
  of
• 3:14
  skill
• 3:14
  with
• 3:14
  transfer
• 3:16
  and
• 3:16
  preparing
• 3:17
  of
• 3:17
  the
• 3:17
  lining
• 3:18
  and
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  way
• 3:19
  the
• 3:19
  technique
• 3:19
  you
• 3:19
  put
• 3:20
  an
• 3:20
  embryo.
• 3:20
  So
• 3:21
  they're
• 3:21
  both
• 3:21
  very,
• 3:22
  very
• 3:22
  one
• 3:23
  mess
• 3:23
  in
• 3:23
  either
• 3:23
  of
• 3:23
  them.
• 3:24
  And
• 3:24
  you
• 3:25
  have
• 3:25
  no
• 3:25
  pregnancy.
• 3:27
  So
• 3:27
  it
• 3:27
  is
• 3:27
  like
• 3:28
  just.
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  mean,
• 3:28
  both
• 3:28
  have
• 3:29
  to
• 3:29
  be
• 3:29
  so
• 3:29
  exact.
• 3:30
  Yes.
• 3:31
  Okay.
• 3:33
  IUIs
• 3:34
  have
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  much
• 3:35
  lower
• 3:35
  rate
• 3:35
  of
• 3:36
  success
• 3:36
  than
• 3:36
  IVF.
• 3:38
  Fact.
• 3:40
  Much
• 3:40
  lower.
• 3:41
  Much
• 3:42
  lower.
• 3:42
  Is
• 3:42
  there
• 3:42
  a
• 3:43
  percentage?
• 3:44
  It
• 3:44
  depends
• 3:44
  on
• 3:44
  your
• 3:45
  age.
• 3:46
  Okay.
• 3:46
  Is
• 3:46
  there
• 3:47
  an
• 3:47
  upper
• 3:47
  limit
• 3:47
  for
• 3:47
  iui,
• 3:48
  you
• 3:48
  think?
• 3:49
  Well,
• 3:49
  our
• 3:49
  natural
• 3:50
  conception
• 3:51
  rates
• 3:52
  for
• 3:52
  women
• 3:52
  and
• 3:53
  their
• 3:53
  peak
• 3:53
  of
• 3:53
  fertility
• 3:54
  is
• 3:54
  about
• 3:54
  25%
• 3:55
  per
• 3:55
  month.
• 3:56
  Okay.
• 3:58
  You
• 3:58
  cannot.
• 3:58
  An
• 3:59
  IUI
• 3:59
  will
• 3:59
  help
• 4:00
  you
• 4:00
  get
• 4:01
  to
• 4:01
  that
• 4:01
  level
• 4:01
  again
• 4:03
  at.
• 4:03
  On
• 4:04
  its
• 4:04
  best
• 4:04
  day
• 4:05
  ever.
• 4:06
  And
• 4:06
  that's
• 4:07
  very,
• 4:07
  very
• 4:07
  rare.
• 4:07
  Yes.
• 4:09
  Stress
• 4:09
  can
• 4:10
  ruin
• 4:10
  your
• 4:10
  chances
• 4:11
  of
• 4:11
  conception.
• 4:13
  Trick,
• 4:14
  because
• 4:14
  it's
• 4:15
  complicated.
• 4:16
  Under
• 4:17
  the
• 4:17
  most
• 4:17
  stressful
• 4:18
  environments
• 4:18
  in
• 4:18
  the
• 4:18
  world,
• 4:19
  people
• 4:19
  have
• 4:19
  still
• 4:19
  gotten
• 4:20
  pregnant.
• 4:21
  But
• 4:21
  I
• 4:21
  believe,
• 4:21
  and
• 4:22
  I
• 4:23
  believe
• 4:23
  that
• 4:23
  stress
• 4:24
  can
• 4:24
  do
• 4:24
  anything,
• 4:26
  including
• 4:27
  keeping
• 4:28
  you
• 4:28
  from
• 4:28
  getting
• 4:28
  pregnant
• 4:29
  as
• 4:29
  well.
• 4:30
  So
• 4:30
  it's
• 4:30
  a
• 4:31
  yes
• 4:31
  and
• 4:31
  no.
• 4:32
  What
• 4:33
  do
• 4:33
  you
• 4:33
  think
• 4:33
  about
• 4:33
  these
• 4:33
  acupuncture
• 4:34
  treatments
• 4:35
  and
• 4:35
  things
• 4:35
  like
• 4:35
  that
