As a (male) who is definitely uninformed - does female fertility begin to decrease far earlier than the biological capacity to have a successful pregnancy (post conception)?
As in, if a woman was to freeze some of her eggs in say, her 20's and desire to use them for IVF in her late 30's, is it still safe for her to have a child?
- jedberg 6y agoIn short, yes, kind of. There is a decrease in success the older the mother is, but the age of the eggs plays a key role in the success rate. 20 year old eggs have a higher chance of success with IVF than 35 year old eggs.

- svachalek 6y agoAs a couple who had a child in their 40s (naturally) I find a lot of people overestimate the difficulty. Yes the odds of success drop dramatically with age so it's best to start when you can but even so, IIRC, the most likely outcome is no problems at all even at age 40.
