Your Fertility

Every woman deserves to know the facts about her biological clock. If you’re curious about how age can impact fertility and your chances of having a healthy baby, you’re in the right place. Start here to learn more.

Fact

Age 25

Having a high number of eggs along with a higher percentage of genetically healthy ones.

High likelihood of getting pregnant each month

Age 40

You’re getting fewer eggs, and the chances of each one being genetically normal are lower.

Harder to get pregnant

It’s a common myth that every time we ovulate, there’s a 100% chance of getting pregnant. In reality, because some of our eggs are abnormal, regardless of age, and because fertilization can only happen in a small window after ovulation, even a young and healthy woman has just about a 25% chance of conceiving each month.

Egg count

Women are born with 1 to 2 million potential eggs, but that’s the total supply they’ll ever have throughout their lives. A hormone called anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) can be measured through a simple blood test, giving a good indication of how many eggs remain. The level of AMH naturally decreases as women age, which reflects the decline in their egg count.

Egg quality

The success of IVF depends a lot on the age of the egg. That’s what makes egg freezing so effective. By freezing eggs when they’re younger and healthier, women can preserve their fertility and use those eggs later when they’re ready.

How many eggs should I freeze?

The number of eggs to freeze depends on your age and how many kids you hope to have in the future. Keep in mind, not every egg will result in a baby, regardless of your age. But the more eggs you store, the better your chances of getting pregnant later on.

RESEARCH CENTER

Our commitment to fertility research

We deserve better research

We often rely on assumptions when it comes to how we view, treat, and care for women. We assume what they know—or want to know—about fertility. We make assumptions about their thoughts, feelings, and the reasons behind the choices they make about their reproductive goals.

Closing the knowledge gap

At Extend Fertility, we focus on understanding fertility and preserving it through targeted research and educational programs. Our Director of Research, Dr. Dee Gulati, leads these efforts. With a wealth of knowledge, she has published many articles in academic journals on the subject.

Egg donation is a process where a woman (the egg donor) provides one or several eggs (also known as oocytes) for purposes of assisted reproduction, with the eggs being fertilized in the laboratory. Once fertilized, the resulting embryos are transferred to the recipient’s uterus to initiate a pregnancy, or they can be cryopreserved (frozen) for future use.
