Question: What is fertility!? Why does it drop as you get older!?
I mean, they say women are most fertile from age 20 to 24, why is it harder to conceive as you get older!? Is it that there isn't an egg produced every month anymore or is it due to hormone levels!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Fertility is the ability to get pregnant or make someone pregnant!. A woman is born with all the eggs she will ever have!. So, as she ages, her eggs also age!. A woman in her late 30's has a higher risk of having a baby with birth defects (down syndrome, etc!.)!. Hormone imbalance can also affect the ability of a woman to conceive & maintain a pregnancy!.
A man, however, produces new sperm constantly!. While he may produce more defective sperm b/c of environmental causes, his fertility really doesn't change (although his ability to have an erection to deliver the sperm may)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

personally i think it is because as you get older your body / mental state changes and cannot cope with very young children who require a lot of attention, as they say its a young persons game will i get a backlash from older mums !?!?!? probablyWww@Answer-Health@Com
