Challenging the Traditional Narrative of Female Fertility After 35

Recent research challenges the traditional narrative of a sudden decline in female fertility after the age of 35. While there is a noticeable acceleration in the decline of egg quality and quantity after this age, the impact of age on fertility varies among individuals. Infertility becomes more likely as prospective parents grow older, but not conceiving within a year does not rule out the possibility of natural conception in the future. Assisted reproductive technologies also offer viable options for women in their late 30s, challenging the idea of a sudden and drastic decline in fertility at 35.
