Age causes change...: It is natural to have less regular ovulation as one ages. While you can still get pregnant at older ages, it can be harder due to expected and normal changes. Medical problems, behavioral choices, medications all can cause difficulties though. Best next step is talking with your physician and being sure you are doing everything you can to maximize your chances. Good luck!

Age: Age is only one of many possible factors. Patients' fertility rates start decreasing at the age of 34. But there are many women who are able to conceive well past that age. Seeing a specialist in infertility known as "reproductive endocrinology and infertilty" would be best for you. They are the most capable of providing the best advice and management of your fertility desires.
