Chances of Conception Without Medical Assistance
Generally, fertility shows signs of decline by
age 30, dips sharply at age 35 and plunges as
a woman nears age 40.
Many women believe that they can put off having
a baby until they reach their late 30’s
or early 40’s and then become pregnant with
the same ease as their younger counterparts. While
it is true that many women are still fertile into
their 40’s, the chances of conception decrease
dramatically as a woman ages.
