Fertility Really Can Be a Matter of Age

Many women feel they are somehow “inadequate” if they are having difficulty conceiving children.  But if they’re over 30, they need to consider that fertility is definitely a “numbers game.”

Recent research has shown that by the age of 30, women have about a 1 in 5 chance of getting pregnant during their cycles.  Thus, without any other complications or problems, the success rate is only 20%.  (Compare that with a much higher success rate for women in their early twenties.)

To make matters more complicated, that statistic dips to a 1 in 20 chance (or 5%) by the time the woman is 40. 

Though the numbers may be sobering, it’s important to remember that age is a natural process; therefore, it’s critical for women not to “kick themselves” for waiting to conceive.

Fortunately, many women have found that through a variety of fertility treatments, they can improve upon those statistics.  It’s just a matter of working with a reproductive health specialist who understands how to evaluate and, when possible, maximize a female’s fertility.
