Does age influence female fertility?

By Marta Barranquero Gómez B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).

The answer is yes. As women age, changes occur in the ovaries that affect fertility.

All women are born with a finite number of eggs and no new eggs are produced throughout life. This number of eggs decreases as a woman's age increases until it is completely depleted by the time she reaches the menopausal stage.

Therefore, age is an essential factor for female fertility and for achieving pregnancy.
