Female Age & Infertility

Take Proactive Measures to Protect Your Fertility at Palm Beach Fertility Center

Times have changed. While women used to feel more pressure to have babies at a younger age, today, women often delay becoming mothers. This may be for any number of reasons, such as pursuing career goals, finding a suitable romantic partner, or saving money for a baby are just a few of the reasons women may wait. Sadly, a woman’s odds of conceiving will rapidly decline as she ages, beginning in her mid-30s.

At Palm Beach Fertility Center, we believe you are not a statistic: You are a person, and you deserve personalized care. Knowing the facts about your fertility potential can help you manage your peak fertile years and, in some cases, take preventative steps. We can help you to discuss your future family goals and how we can achieve them, such as fertility preservation and egg freezing.

Some of the reasons women often find it difficult to conceive in their mid-30s and older include:

• Women are born with a finite number of egg-containing follicles that dissipate with every menstrual cycle through ovulation and atresia, beginning at puberty and ending at menopause.
• Maintaining good health habits, including staying in shape and eating nutritious foods, will not mitigate the egg aging process.
• Egg quality diminishes as a woman ages. Genetic abnormalities are more common, and the risk for infertility and miscarriage increases with time.
