If you are trying to get pregnant in your 40s, you need to get proactive. Fertility declines with age, which means that by the time they are 40 women have half the chance to get pregnant naturally. By 42, this percentage is further reduced.

You may think that IVF can ‘bypass’ this and that you can get pregnant at any time. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Age is one most significant factors that determine a woman’s fertility and it does affect your chance to get pregnant, either naturally or through IVF.
