What are the age-associated infertility and pregnancy complications in women?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Increasing: Women's fertility drops in their lifetimes until she can't conceive at all (infertility.) it's mostly gradual until late 30s, then quicker. At 40 estimates are 50% of women can no longer conceive; for most its roughly 10 years before menopause. Pregnancy risks are increasing risk of congenital anomalies (birth defects) and early pregnancy loss, as well as some maternal medical risks.

Varies: As age increases fertility decreases. As age increases the risk for almost all pregnancy complications increase, particularly genetic defects, gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, premature labor, and premature delivery among others.
