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

Fertility and age don’t need to feel like a countdown clock. With early testing and the right support, you can take control of your timeline. At femcare, we offer fertility evaluations and oral treatment options to help couples start their journey with clarity and confidence.
