Nearly 40% Of Women Above 35 Would Have Tried To Get Pregnant Sooner If They Knew About The Age-Related Decline In Fertility, Per Study
According to a recent study, not many women fully understand the natural decline in fertility as we age. Almost 40% of women over the age of 35 say they would have attempted pregnancy sooner if they had fully understood their age-related chances at conceiving.
The United States isn't even achieving birth replacement rate at the moment, and the rates of birth have been on the decline over the last several decades. Many speculate that fertility issues are contributing to this, but a recent survey showed that many women don't fully understand how much their age is related to their chance at conceiving. A 2019 American Osteopathic Association survey found that only 28% of women and 35% of men believe that age is the number one factor in female infertility.
