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.

As if being unable to conceive weren’t enough of a problem, it turns out that infertilitycan also land a huge blow on an individual’s self-esteem.
(It’s not that we didn’t already realize this fact, of course, but now it’s been proven via a research study.)
A survey conducted in September 2009 on behalf of Schering-Plough resulted in some interesting findings:
- 61% couples said they attempted to hide their infertility from those around them.
- 54% of couples said it was easier to lie and say they weren’t planning to have children than to discuss infertility with friends and family.
- 63% of couples reported they were tired of people questioning them about when they would have a baby.
- 63% of couples also said they were frustrated by people trying to give them fertility “advice”.
If you’ve had a dip in self-esteem as a result of your fertility issues, it’s important to know that you’re not alone. It’s also important to realize that you can regain control of your confidence through therapy and counseling.

The online version of the Chicago Tribune released a very interesting article yesterday on infertility “by the numbers”.
Some of the more interesting facts (as culled from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and National Center for Health Statistics) noted were that:
- Approximately 12% of American women of child-bearing age had used an infertility service as of 2006.
- The average age of American women who gave birth for the first time was 25.2 in 2003 and 25.0 in 2006. For contrast, the average age in 1960 was 21.5.
We encourage you to read the whole story here.

 During the past twenty years, the subject of infertility has absolutely become less taboo in American culture, yet it’s still one that’s fraught with misunderstandings and misinformation.
As a launching-point for the RSI Infertility blog, we’ve accumulated some of the most up-to-date information on infertility available, including some facts and figures that may surprise you.
- 7.3 million women between the ages of 15 and 44 have impaired fecundity. This translates to 11.8% of that population who will likely experience infertility issues.
- A female’s chances of conceiving and carrying a baby drop every year after she turns 30.
- About 10-15% of couples are considered infertile.
- In about 50% of the cases of couples with infertility, male infertility plays a significant role.
- Approximately 67% of all couples who are treated for infertility are able to have children.
