Infertility

 Little girls still grow up with the expectation that one day they will meet their prince charming, have children and live happily ever after. In reality, for increasing numbers of modern women, the fairytale ending comes tragically unstuck. Partly this is the result of the modern female expectation that we can have it all... a stimulating career, travel, independence, and when the time suits us, children. While society no longer frowns on a fourty year old pregnant woman, biology still does not approve. From the spectacularly young age of 26, female fertility begins to decline; with a precipitous drop between the ages of 35 and 40; and an even more radical decline after the age of 40.

Contrary to common belief, it is not unusual for around 20% of perfectly healthy couples to take at least a year to conceive. By the end of the first year of trying, 80-% of couples have conceived. For the remaining 20%, 9 out of 10 couples will have a physical explanation for their infertility. Approximately 35% involve male issues, with another 35% accounting for female causes. 20% involve a combination of male and female factors, and the remaining 10% fall into the “unexplainable” category.
