When the Biological Clock is Ticking
A woman’s fertility declines significantly after the age of 35. This contrasts with modern lifestyles, where more women are delaying starting a family until after 35. Additionally, our lifestyle and diet can further impact fertility. As a result, women over 35, and especially over 40, may find it harder to conceive, and the effectiveness of IVF methods decreases dramatically in these age groups. Egg freezing allows a woman to store her eggs at a time of high fertility and later, without the pressure of time, make important life decisions.
When Fertility is Threatened
Several conditions can affect or threaten a woman’s fertility, even at a young age. The presence of endometriosis or other cystic formations can affect both the quantity and quality of a woman’s eggs. Treatment regimens for serious conditions, such as autoimmune diseases and cancer, can also significantly impact a woman’s fertility, regardless of her age. Consult your doctor, and if your fertility is at risk, fertility preservation is your best protection for fulfilling the dream of motherhood!
