Age and Infertility

Delayed Childbearing
Many women are waiting until their 30s and 40s to have children. In fact, about 20 percent of women in the United States now have their first child after age 35. Women have a set number of eggs when they are born, and as they age their eggs also become older and have an increased risk of chromosomal abnormalities. From the time of birth to puberty, all eggs are “suspended in time”. When menstrual cycles begin, one egg is selected from this pool of eggs every month. This decline in fertility potential, or “ovarian reserve”, is the natural consequence of the aging process on human eggs. Once one egg is selected for a particular menstrual cycle, the LH surge occurs and triggers completion of the ovulation process. Now the egg can be fertilized. The length of time the egg waits for selection as a dominant egg corresponds to the chronological age of the woman. Lower pregnancy rates and higher miscarriage rates are both the consequences of the aging process, and reflective of a decline in egg quality. Women ovulate their healthiest eggs during their 20?s and early 30?s. By the mid 30?s the remaining eggs are of lower quality, and by the early 40?s only eggs with very low fertility potential are available for ovulation. This phenomenon is a normal biological process, which neither fertility medications nor lifestyle changes can halt. A healthy egg has two functions necessary for a successful pregnancy. First, it must have normal chromosomes, and second, it must be able to combine its chromosomes with those of the sperm in a correct and efficient manner to produce a normally dividing and growing embryo. While eggs are suspended in time they are susceptible to injury which may result in chromosomally abnormal embryos. These embryos usually do not continue to grow and no pregnancy is established. If an abnormal embryo does result in a pregnancy, it is more likely to lead to an early miscarriage.
