Rumor would have us believing that women are putting off their fertility treatments until the latest possible time in their lives, but that seems to be a myth.  A recent survey of over 700 women showed that 88% were under age 35 when they first sought treatment for their fertility issues.

This shows that many women (and men) are recognizing the signs that they might need help (e.g., not conceiving naturally after trying for about a year to get pregnant, a series of ectopic pregnancies, endometriosis, STDs).  It’s a good development, as it gives individuals and families more time to work with reproductive science specialists to address their fertility issues.
