What exactly is menopause? What are its first symptoms? Some people wonder if it is possible to get pregnant, especially in the run-up to menopause. It should be remembered that menopause is an individual matter for every woman, therefore it may differ not only in symptoms, but also in their intensity.
Menopause and pregnancy are issues that are actually mutually exclusive. It is a difficult time for almost every woman, because it is the end of the possibility of procreation, and it also means that the woman is entering the aging stage. Menopause is a whole list of ailments that make it difficult for a woman to function normally, but does menopause always mean that a woman cannot get pregnant?

During the menopause, there are many changes in the woman’s body, which are often sudden, so when they occur with great intensity, it is a great discomfort, not only physically, but also mentally for a woman. It happens that the symptoms are so numerous and so severe that complications may occur, which is why every woman should pay special attention to all changes taking place in her body. For example, a high estrogen deficiency can lead to osteoporosis, another complication is an elevated cholesterol score, which of course is a major risk to the heart. Therefore, proper prophylaxis is very important, women entering the climacteric stage should constantly check not only the level of hormones, but also systematically perform the morphology. During this time, proper diet and supplementation are of great importance. It is also worth giving up all stimulants. In order to additionally support the body during menopause, it is worth using appropriate supplementation. Reach for a dietary supplement with red clover, which, thanks to the vitamin complex, including vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E, has a positive effect on the hormonal balance of women and strengthens their body.
Menopause and pregnancy – the possibility of fertilization
Menopause is diagnosed when hormonal tests show a long-lasting decline in the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Menstruation has not been present for at least six months. Of course, these factors are accompanied by other symptoms that are typical of menopause. However, gynecologists agree that menopause and pregnancy is not such an obvious topic, because even with an irregular, disturbed menstrual cycle, fertilization can occur. Therefore, there are cases in which a woman entering the pre-menopausal period and at the beginning of the menopause becomes pregnant.
It is important to regularly carry out hormonal tests, because they will guarantee not only the control of hormone levels, but also exclude or confirm the possibility of a possible pregnancy. There are also other techniques and methods thanks to which fertilization is possible even in the menopause, it is an ovarian transplant, but it is an operation performed very rarely.
