A member asked:

Do you think parental age should be a factor in getting art if they want to be pregnant?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes and no: If age is the primary infertility consideration - then yes art is likely to be invaluable in achieving a timely and successful pregnancy. Otherwise, it depends on the infertility issue. Since fertility does decrease with age, age will always be "a factor".
