Age-Related Infertility
A woman’s fertility naturally declines with age due to changes in egg quality and quantity. Age-related infertility is a common challenge, but with advanced treatments and timely care, many couples can still achieve their dream of parenthood. Dr. Nikita provides expert evaluation and personalized treatment for women and couples facing age-related fertility concerns.
Why Age Affects Fertility
Age impacts fertility primarily through:
- Decline in the number of eggs (ovarian reserve)
- Reduced egg quality, leading to lower chances of fertilization
- Higher risk of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs
- Decreased implantation rates
- Increased miscarriage risk
When to Suspect Age-Related Infertility
Women should seek fertility evaluation if they face:
- Difficulty conceiving after 6 months of trying (if over 35)
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- History of recurrent miscarriages
- Known low ovarian reserve (low AMH levels, high FSH)
Impact of Age on Fertility
Fertility gradually declines from the early 30s and drops more sharply after 35–37 years. By the age of 40, natural conception rates are significantly reduced. Age also affects the success rates of fertility treatments like IUI and IVF.
Treatment Options
Dr. Nikita tailors treatment plans for age-related infertility, which may include:
- Ovarian reserve testing (AMH, AFC, FSH)
- Ovulation induction & timed intercourse
- IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
- IVF with own eggs or donor eggs (depending on egg quality)
- Embryo freezing at a younger age for future use
