Female fertility factors
Understanding your fertility timeline can be helpful to all those wanting to start a family, plan for their future family and learn more about their reproductive health. Here is a general breakdown of the stages and factors to consider.
Fertility tends to decline with age, especially for women. Women are born with a finite number of eggs, and as they age, the quantity and quality of eggs decrease. For men, while fertility decline is not as pronounced as in women, advanced paternal age may increase the risk of certain genetic disorders in offspring.
It’s important to note that fertility is a complex and individualized matter, and it’s recommended to consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns or are planning to conceive. They can provide personalized guidance based on your specific circumstances

Male fertility factors
While men do not have a fertility timeline in the same way as women, their fertility can still be influenced by age and other factors. Unlike women, who are born with a finite number of eggs, men produce sperm throughout their reproductive years. However, there are a few key points to consider regarding men’s fertility, as 40% of any issues in trying to conceive, is due to male fertility issues. Here is a general breakdown of the factors to consider.
As men age, the quality and quantity of their sperm may decline. This can affect the ability to conceive and may increase the risk of certain genetic disorders in offspring.
While men can remain fertile for a longer period compared to women, advanced paternal age (usually considered after the age of 40) has been associated with a higher risk of fertility problems, such as decreased sperm count, decreased sperm motility, and an increased risk of genetic abnormalities in children.
Similar to women, men’s fertility can be influenced by various health and lifestyle factors. Factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, poor diet, stress, and exposure to certain environmental toxins can impact sperm health and fertility.

What age will I be able to conceive until?
As a woman ages, her ovarian reserve (the number and quality of eggs remaining in her ovaries) diminishes. The likelihood of conceiving naturally decreases, and the risk of miscarriage and chromosomal abnormalities in offspring increases with advancing age. If you are experiencing issues conceiving after 12 months and 34 years of under, or for 6 months and 35 and over, it’s important to see a fertility specialist to ensure there’s nothing preventing a pregnancy.
Do men have a biological clock?
Yes, men also have a biological clock, although it operates differently from that of women. Here’s how the biological clock affects men: Sperm quality decreased fertility, increased risk of certain health conditions, hormonal changes nd erectile function and sexual health.
Am I fertile?
Fertility is a complex aspect of human biology influenced by various factors, including age, health, genetics, and lifestyle.
Generally, individuals are most fertile during certain periods of their lives, but fertility can vary widely among individuals and couples.
There are common myths about how to tell if you’re fertile. Some people believe that your sex drive or vaginal discharge are signs of fertility. This isn’t true.
Only a medical fertility assessment can tell if you have an issue that may be preventing a pregnancy and if you’re able to have a baby naturally.
But there’s no reason to worry just yet unless:
- You’ve been trying for over a year
- You’re getting to the age where fertility is a concern (35+)
- You have a condition that could affect fertility
