Age and Fertility Articles
In recent years, more and more women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to start a family. In the U.S., about 20 percent of women have their first child after age 35. Unfortunately, infertility increases with age ― about one third of women over 35 have fertility problems.
Your fertility is at its peak in your 20s. There are a relatively large number of eggs in your ovaries and it is likely that a very high percentage of these are good quality. This means that your chance of successfully getting pregnant, is excellent.
