It is a well-known fact that women, unlike men, have a fixed reserve of eggs. Experts specializing in female infertility treatment in Noida suggest that most females are born with as many as 1 to 2 million eggs, out of which only 400,000 remain by the time they start menstruating, which usually happens when they reach about 12 years of age. Though the onset of periods is a beautiful sign of a girl entering womanhood, with each cycle, you also tend to lose several hundred eggs. The fixed reserve completely gets exhausted with time, leading to menopause. Now, with the passing years, your chances at motherhood decline gradually, and it becomes evident when you start experiencing difficulties in conceiving a baby. It is surprising to note that the average age of women giving birth to a baby for the very first time in 26.6 years, which is gradually increasing owing to the fact that many couples tend to postpone their pregnancy due to one reason or the other.

25 to 30 years of age

However, if you have been trying to have a baby for more than three, without any successful result, you should consider seeing a specialist.
31 to 35 years of age
A significant decline in fertility was experienced during the late 30s and early 40s. It is pertinent to note that the chances of a woman having a baby in her early thirties are nearly half as compared to women who plan the same in their early 30s. Although many couples will conceive naturally within just one year of trying, search pregnancies are accompanied by higher risks of chromosomal defects, which can even lead to miscarriage.
41 to 45 years of age
It has been found that the birth rate among couples lying in the age group of 40 to 44 years has increased over the years and so has the birth rate among women between 45 to 49 years of age. Although many women, nowadays, plan their pregnancy at an older age, the overall birth rate is extremely low as compared to young women.
