1. Age Plays an Important Role in Fertility Explained by Top IVF Clinic in Muscat, IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic When does fertility begin to decrease and how to protect your fertility? Top IVF Clinic in Muscat, IVI Middle East Fertility Clinic,​ has noticed the most obvious cause of declining female fertility is age, with women’s peak fertility age being during their 20s, and quite a steep decline follows after the age of 35. However, there are other causes which can accelerate or exacerbate the natural process of declining fertility. Among these are injuries to the fallopian tubes, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries and anovulation, which can occur for a variety of reasons. In this article we explore the issues around age and fertility: the bare statistics relating to the likelihood of becoming pregnant at different ages and what this can mean in individual cases. We also consider the other reproductive problems that can have a bearing on declining female fertility and what help is available. We also show how it is now possible to protect your fertility with the straightforward technique of vitrification of oocytes. What are the facts, figures and statistics relating to declining female fertility? Baby girls are born with a fixed number of immature eggs in their ovaries, and this number decreases as they get older. Most girls have around 2 million eggs at birth and this number has already declined to around 400,000 by puberty. At the age of 37 about 25,000 eggs remain and by 51, when most women reach menopause, about 1,000 immature eggs are left but these are not fertile. So by and large, even though most of the eggs a woman is born with will never mature, fertility does depend on the store of eggs remaining. The quality of the eggs also declines as a woman get older. From an 85% likelihood of becoming pregnant in the early 20s, the percentage falls fairly uniformly to 63% at age 30, down to about 52% at age 35 and then declines more steeply to around 30% at age 40. So from a purely biological and statistical point of view, it’s best to start a family before the age of 35. However, few people’s lives are run with complete efficiency on the basis of the biologically optimum timetable, and the fact is that for social and cultural reasons many women and couples delay their attempts to start a family until later than the biologically ideal time. Many couples in Muscat trying to start a family manage to do so within a year and of those who do not, about half will be successful in the second year of trying, so perseverance can pay off. Even so, because of the narrowing window of time available for help if needed, generally women over the age of 35 are advised to seek IVF advice from a ​top IVF clinic in Muscat​ and help if necessary after six months. Younger women can ask for advice after one year. How can you protect your fertility? Given the catch22 that while fertility declines as the years pass by, so many of us choose for perfectly sound reasons to delay starting a family until we are well into our thirties, what is to be done? An

2. increasingly utilised solution is for younger women to take the precaution of preserving their eggs until the time is right. This is also invaluable for women who are about to undergo cancer treatment. The vitrification of oocytes allows mature eggs obtained following ovarian stimulation to be cryopreserved so that they can be used at a later time, when the patient decides she is ready, with the same prognosis as at the point when they were vitrified. Because in this technique ice crystals do not form, oocyte survival rates are high, allowing fertilisation to be postponed with a reasonable chance of success.
