Diagnosis & Treatment

An increasing number of women are having their first child after the age of 35. Unfortunately, this biological timeframe corresponds directly to a decrease in fertility potential.

Every woman is born with a predetermined number of eggs, whose quantity and quality diminish over time. The healthiest eggs are produced during a woman's twenties and early thirties. By a woman's mid thirties, some of the remaining eggs may have been damaged, which can result in lower pregnancy rates, a higher occurrence of miscarriages and birth defects such as Down's syndrome.

Diagnostics will begin with a thorough medical history review and a pelvic exam. In addition, hormonal testing may be recommended to help reveal egg quality and the Clomiphene Citrate Challenge may be used to check ovarian function.

Healthy pregnancies may still be achieved later in life. However, if you are over the age of 40, we recommend consulting a fertility specialist as soon as possible. The sooner you begin your treatment, the more options you will have available to you.
