Chances of getting pregnant by age chart

Age and female fertility

Age is one the most significant factors that can impact your ability to have a baby. A woman is born with all of her eggs (approximately 1 million eggs). By the time she reaches puberty, she has about 300,000 eggs, which gradually declines until she reaches menopause.

In addition to the number of her eggs decreasing, her eggs will also decrease in quality, which can impact her ability to conceive and carry a baby to term. (Learn more about Egg Quality)
