A member asked:
Do men's sperm count decrease as they get older, making it more difficult to conceive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slightly: Large studies have found very slight decreases in sperm counts as men age, >40. Studies have also shown possible very slight decrease in fertility with age, though the impact is probably very slight. Female age has a much larger impact.
