Let’s do a Q&A on Age and Infertility

While the majority of public perception of infertility is that it’s a disease that affects women who are in their late 30s and 40s, the truth is that infertility is often age-independent. Women of any age can have fertility issues and many times younger women wait much longer to seek treatment than they should.

While age does play a major role in a woman’s ability to successfully conceive a pregnancy due to a reduction in quality and quantity of a woman’s eggs, there are many other factors that play into a woman’s inability to conceive on her own.

Q. How Does Age Play a Role in My Ability to Conceive?

A. Women are born with about 1 million eggs and as a woman ages, the number of eggs within the ovary begin to rapidly decrease. By the time she starts menstruating, she may only have about 400,000 eggs left.

There are nearly approximately 30 million couples in India suffering from infertility that means they are not able to get pregnant naturally. After marriage usually couple expects to start a family sometimes sooner sometimes later but eventually they want. For some couples, a month is all they need to see those double pink lines. Yet for others, it takes longer period of time. Hence they ultimately seek a fertility treatment. In India, out of 30 million infertile couples, nearly 3 million are actively seeking treatment; and around five lakh couples seek in vitro fertilisation (IVF) or intrauterine insemination (IUI) treatment.  The rate is even higher in the urban population where one out of six couples suffers from infertility and desperately look out for solutions. 

And during the COVID-19 crisis followed by the lockdown, they have suffered a lot as IVF is a time-sensitive treatment.

The factors influencing conception are multifaceted, but the key indicator of
