Age and Fertility — Knowledge is Power
When people talk about fertility and age, it’s usually framed as a ticking clock. That pressure can feel overwhelming. But the truth is, understanding how age impacts fertility isn’t just about deadlines — it’s about giving yourself more choices.
How Age Affects Fertility
Women are born with all the eggs they’ll ever have. Over time, both the quantity and quality of those eggs naturally decline.
In your 20s and early 30s, fertility is typically at its highest.
By your mid-30s, it becomes harder to conceive, and risks like miscarriage increase.
Why Testing Early Matters
One simple blood test — Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) — gives insight into ovarian reserve, or how many eggs remain. Knowing your AMH level helps you:
Plan ahead if you want to delay pregnancy
Understand your options sooner rather than later
Make informed choices about fertility preservation, like egg freezing
What You Can Do
Test early: fertility testing is useful even if you’re not ready to conceive right now.
Support egg health: focus on sleep, nutrition, and reducing toxins.
Explore options: treatments and fertility preservation work best when started earlier.
The Bottom Line
