How does age effect fertility?

 When a woman reaches her early 30s, her fertility usually begins to gradually decline; beyond 35, the decline picks up quickly. The likelihood of becoming pregnant in any monthly cycle at the age of 40 is about 5%. The late teens and early 20s are when women are most fertile. The capacity to become pregnant starts to decrease by the age of thirty. Once you hit your mid-30s, this drop occurs more quickly. By the age of 45, natural conception is improbable due to a significant drop in fertility. The quantity and quality of eggs decline with age, with a decline occurring especially beyond the age of 35.

Every month, starting at puberty and continuing until menopause, an egg is transferred from your ovaries to your womb. You become pregnant when the egg and sperm unite in the womb. This isn't the case, despite the impression that your body is producing a fresh egg each month. Every egg a woman has is stored in her ovaries from the moment of birth. The eggs also age with you as you age.

Theoretically, a woman can become pregnant at any point following her first menstrual cycle. Usually, this happens in the early adolescent years. It is thought that a woman's fertility peaks in her twenties. But age does not always have the same effect on a woman's ability to conceive. A woman's monthly chances of becoming pregnant are 20% when she reaches the age of thirty. A woman's fertility starts to decline faster beyond the age of 35. A woman's chances of becoming pregnant each month drop to about 5% at the age of forty.
