How Does Age Affect Your Fertility?
Undeniably, major factor is that the age affect
your fertility. Heres a list curated for your
help.
Fertility When Youre in Your 20s
Did you know that you were born with eggs?
Indeed! You have around 1 to 2 million eggs.
However, by the time you enter puberty, you have
around 300,000 to 500,000 eggs. The 20s is,
biologically, the right age for a womans
fertility. In fact, in your 20s, you have a 20 to
25 chance of becoming pregnant, every month,
because you have good quality eggs. Along with
this, you might have less chance of having a
miscarriage, chromosomal abnormality, and
gestational diabetes. Well, that does not mean
you wouldnt have fertility problems. It might
happen that your male counterpart has low sperm
counts and tubal issues which might give rise to
fertility problems in you.

Age Affect Your Fertility When Youve Crossed
Your 30s
In or above your 30s you may be financially and
emotionally stable to take care of the baby.
However, according to the American Society for
Reproductive Medicine your chances of fertility
at this stage are difficult since the quantity
and quality of eggs are diminishing.
Getting pregnant by the time you become 35 years
old is about 12. Your risk of miscarriage and
the risk of having a baby with birth
defects cannot be denied either.

Fertility In or Above Your 40s
Although in your 40s youre economically and
emotionally stable to take care of your baby,
however, there is a rapid decline in the quality
of your eggs to make you pregnant. Your odds of
trying for a baby are around 7 at this age. The
older the eggs, the more are chromosomal
problems. You even cant deny the odds of your
having a baby with birth defects. Further, your
healthcare practitioner would suggest
an emergency C Section for you. Not just that!
You might also expect to have a low birth weight
baby.

Factors That Affect a Female Fertility 
Having said that, you might have reached a
certain age (maybe 35 years old or older), and
both of you as couples may have been trying for a
baby, without much success. Well, as you grow
older, its not just your rapidly declining eggs,
there are several medical problems contributing
to your fertility. They include

  ovary syndrome and thyroid problems

What Are The Options Available to Boost Your

You might have to seek the help of your
healthcare practitioner with fertility concerns
after youve crossed 35 years old. The specialist
may take you through medical treatment options
like giving you medicines for your egg production
and using IVF techniques. Your expert might
recommend you to do some yoga, meditation, and
acupuncture to improve your chances of becoming
pregnant.

Can Your Male Counterparts Infertility Affect
Your Fertility?
Yes! After your male counterpart has reached a
certain age (maybe 40), his lifestyle choices
like smoking, drinking, less physical activity,
and daily stress factors at work may reduce the
sperm count and lower the semen volume. In
addition, older men are more likely to have
genetic abnormalities in their sperm cells. This
would result in a delay in your pregnancy. Who
knows, you might even have a greater risk of
miscarriage, regardless of your age.
Ultimately, becoming parents is teamwork, and it
is definitely your choice when you want to become
parents. If youd like to take your time and
wait, consult with your doctor and find out when
you stand a chance.
