The rise in life expectancy in developed countries, as well
as the wish to establish a career prior to parenthood, leads numerous couples
to a delayed childbearing. Advanced age at the time of pregnancy portrays clear
risks, with a great
majority of couples above 35 experiencing reproductive complications.
The effects of women’s age on fertility are well established,
being one of the most important factors to consider when addressing fertility
issues. Indeed, women over 35 have a compromised fertility, with low oocyte
numbers and overall reduced quality.
This biological clock of women’s reproduction capacity
restrains fertility after a certain age leading to a decreased capacity to
conceive and prolonged time to achieve pregnancy.
