So, When Is The Good Time?
Speaking of fertility treatments – sooner the better, don’t delay seeking help thinking that fertility treatments will make up for the lost time. Unfortunately, fertility treatments are less successful with age.
One study looked at conception rates for women who start trying to conceive at age 30, 35, and 40, and then whether fertility treatments could make up for the pregnancies lost from delaying childbearing. They found that fertility treatments could only make up for half of the successful pregnancies lost when delaying conception until age 35 instead of starting at age 30, and only make up for 30 percent of the healthy pregnancies lost when women delayed starting at age 40 instead of at age 35.
My practice confirms pretty much the same alarming numbers. So, if you made your mind about having a baby please hurry up! Being pro-active is a good strategy.
