Odds Of Getting Pregnant And Age
The odds of getting pregnant decline with age. The odds of
getting pregnant are the greatest for a woman in her early
twenties and then slowly decline with the passing years. Here
are some numbers related to the chances of getting pregnant and
age:
1. For ages early to mid-thirties - a woman in general will be
about 15-20% less fertile.
2. For ages mid to late thirties - fertility will generally
decline by up to 50%.
3. For women ages early to mid-forties - fertility declines by
over 90%.
Why do the odds of getting pregnant generally decline as the
woman gets older? Studies have indicated the reasons for
fertility decline are related to the quality of the woman's eggs
as well as the quantity. A woman in her lifetime will typically
produce about 400 fully developed eggs (usually one per month)
that are capable of becoming implanted in the uterus and causing
pregnancy. As these eggs get used up over thirty years or so and
estrogen production slows so that the uterine and vaginal
linings are no longer properly stimulated, pregnancy becomes
less and less likely.
And what about the male's role, age and the odds of getting
pregnant? Studies have found that the probability of causing
pregnancy for a man in his late thirties declines by about 40%
from the probability during his twenties to mid-thirties.
How does a woman increase the odds of getting pregnant? Here are
some tips:
* Know your fertile time
- ovulation generally happens about 14
days before your next period begins. For women with cycles of 28
days, that could make day #14 your most fertile for getting
pregnant (day #1 being the first day that your last period
began). * Monitor your basal body temperature - the slight
elevations in your body temperature upon awakening each day will
signal your most fertile time. * Monitor your cervical mucus -
ovulation will cause a change in the appearance and consistency
of cervical mucus. Check yourself each day and you'll be able to
see the 'egg-white-like' vaginal discharge that indicates
ovulation and your most fertile time.
* Adopt a healthy lifestyle - the odds of getting pregnant
increase the more healthy you are. Healthy living includes a
sensible diet, nutritional supplements, adequate quality sleep,
managing stress, some exercise and weight management. Planning
to start a family, getting pregnant and pregnancy can be
exciting, frustrating, fulfilling and without any certain
outcome. Improving your health will add to the likelihood that
you can become pregnant and have a healthy baby. Copyright 2005
