How Age Affects Fertility in Men and Women

Female fertility peaks in the 20s and gradually declines after 30.
Men produce sperm throughout life, but quality decreases with age.
Older eggs are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities.
Hormone levels shift, affecting ovulation and cycle regularity.
Lifestyle factors like stress and sleep can amplify age-related changes.
After age 35, conception chances drop sharply for women.
Men over 40 may have lower sperm motility and count.
Assisted reproductive technologies can help overcome age barriers.
Healthy living can extend fertility potential in both sexes.
Age influences fertility — but not the desire or ability to nurture life.
