A woman’s pregnancy rate declines as she gets older, and this trend becomes more pronounced after age 35.
After age 40, the pregnancy rate is significantly lower, and after age 44, being able to conceive naturally is considered a miracle!
This is a common reality today—but why is this happening?
What exactly is the problem?
Because: The ovaries are aging!
The ovary is like a storage warehouse for eggs—not a factory that produces them.
Without eggs, there’s no fertility or hormonal function.
There are two main reasons why ovaries age:
First, the number of eggs gradually declines.
Second, each egg ages over time inside the body, and ovarian function deteriorates.
It’s living a life of subtraction!
As eggs age, their quality decreases, and fertility declines.
Ovarian aging happens faster than you think…
In IVF treatments, some women have already run out of viable eggs and must rely on donated eggs to become pregnant.
Egg banks strictly screen for high-quality eggs and donor qualifications, mainly selecting young women.
These well-preserved, high-quality young eggs, when placed into the uterus of older recipients—even if the sperm is older, even if the uterus is aging—can still boost pregnancy rates through precise medical treatment.
This data clearly shows:
The decline in female pregnancy rate with age is not primarily due to an aging uterus or sperm,
but because the eggs are old and lower in quality—the ovaries have aged significantly…
The age of the egg determines the pregnancy rate.
As long as the eggs are young, the pregnancy rate can be improved.
Using egg freezing to preserve fertility is a powerful way to extend reproductive potential!
