UNDERSTANDING INFERTILITY

What is Infertility?

Infertility is defined as the inability to achieve a clinical pregnancy after 12 months or more of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse (or 6 months for women aged 35 and older). It is a complex medical condition that can stem from female factors, male factors, a combination of both, or remain unexplained. Many causes of infertility can be treated, while some individuals or couples may require fertility treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), to achieve pregnancy.

How age impacts fertility

why is it important?

Age is one of several important factors in reproductive health. Understanding how biological timelines affect fertility helps couples plan effectively and seek timely assistance.

  • Female -
    • Females are born with a fixed number of eggs (ovarian reserve), which naturally declines in quantity and quality over time.
    • While ovarian reserve gradually decreases throughout adulthood, the rate of decline generally accelerates after age 32 and becomes more pronounced after age 35.
    • Advanced maternal age is associated with lower spontaneous conception rates per cycle and a higher incidence of chromosomal variations and pregnancy complications.
  • Male -
    • Sperm production continues throughout adult life; however, male fertility parameters undergo a gradual decline with age.
    • Advanced paternal age (typically 40–45 years and older) may be associated with subtle changes in sperm DNA integrity, motility, and time-to-pregnancy.
    • Men over 40 are 30% less likely to contribute to a successful pregnancy within one year than men under 30.
