Fertility & Age: When Does Natural Conception Become Challenging for Women?

• Women are born with a finite number of eggs, which decrease in quality and quantity over time, impacting natural conception.
• Fertility peaks in late teens to early 20s, remains stable until early 30s, and declines significantly after 35.
• The chance of natural conception in a single cycle drops to about 10% in the late 30s and early 40s, becoming rare after 45.
• Aging eggs increase risks of chromosomal abnormalities, miscarriage, and genetic conditions, highlighting the need for medical guidance.
• Overall health, lifestyle, stress, weight, and medical conditions also influence fertility, alongside age.

Why It Matters: Natural conception becomes challenging for women after 35 due to declining egg quality and quantity.
