Fertility and Age: Doctors Explain the 'Biological Clock' for Women

• Women are born with millions of eggs, but their number and quality decline with age, impacting fertility.
• Peak fertility for women is from their early to late 20s, with a gradual decline after 30, especially post-35.
• Conceiving naturally in the 30s and 40s is possible, but chances decrease, becoming rare after 45.
• Increased age raises risks of genetic changes in eggs, leading to higher chances of miscarriage and pregnancy complications.
• Doctors advise women over 30-35 planning pregnancy to seek medical advice, consider health check-ups, and explore options like egg freezing.

Why It Matters: Age significantly impacts female fertility due to egg decline, making early planning and medical advice crucial.
