Female fertility and pregnancy after 30<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The best time for female fertility is from the late teens to the late twenties. After the age of 30, the ability to get pregnant decreases markedly.<\/strong> This decline becomes more rapid once the middle of the third decade is reached. Fertility drops dramatically after the age of 35, which is associated with a decrease in ovarian reserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women begin life with a fixed number of ova (oocytes) in their ovaries. Their pool peaks during foetal life - between 6 and 8 million (20-week-old foetus). After birth, the number of oocytes drops to 1-2 million and only 300,000 - 500,000 oocytes remain at puberty. A woman in her 30s has about 100,000 - 150,000 oocytes. By the age of 35, the reserve decreases to 80 000 oocytes. Just before the age of 40, their level can drop enormously - to 25 000 or even 10000 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the remaining egg cells in older women are more likely to have abnormal chromosomes. This is why the risk of having a baby with genetic defects increases with age. Late pregnancies are also more prone to miscarriages. For example, at the age of 35, the risk of miscarriage is around 20 per cent. At the age of 40 years <\/a>this risk is already around 40 per cent . Problems getting pregnant after 30 years of age<\/a> may be due to a reduction in the quality of the egg cells. Passing 30 does not, of course, rule out the chances of pregnancy, but it may take longer to conceive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Female age and risk of disease<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As women age, they are more susceptible to disorders that can affect fertility. One of these is endometriosis<\/a><\/strong>which is caused by the growth of the endometrium outside the uterine cavity. Endometriosis impedes embryo implantation, and can cause infertility. As many as 75% patients are women aged between 30 and 40 years .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Infertility can also occur as a consequence of uterine fibroids<\/strong> or premature ovarian failure (POI)<\/strong>. It is an abnormal and irreversible condition that occurs in women before the age of 40. Causes include:<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/header>\n
