Women Wanting Families Should Conceive Or Freeze Their Eggs By 35, Say Doctors by MosakuAW(m): 10:37am On Jun 17, 2015
Women wanting families should conceive or
freeze their eggs by 35, say doctors


Women who want a family should conceive or
freeze their eggs by 35, doctors have said, after
a major study showed fertility falling off a "cliff
edge" in subsequent years.

The research shows that women trying to have
a baby are 18 times less likely to succeed at the
age of 44 as when they are just six years
younger.

Senior doctors said findings from the study -
the largest and most detailed of its kind -
showed the need for women who want children
to stop delaying motherhood, or putting
careers first.

They said there was a need for "more realistic
expectations" among many women, who should
either start trying for a family earlier, or else
freeze their eggs.

IVF experts said many women had little idea
how low their conception chances were.
Some were given false hope by celebrity
mothers having babies in their 40s, with some
not admitting they have used donor eggs, they
suggested.

• Eating fruit and vegetables can boost
fertility - but men rarely take the advice
The study, presented at the European Society
of Human Reproduction's annual conference in
Lisbon, shows that at the age of 38 around 24
per cent of women having fertility treatment
went on to have a baby.

By the age of 44 the figure was just 1.3 per
cent, with a significant decline in live birth rates
seen between the ages of 41 and 42.

In all, a woman of 38 trying for a baby was 18
times more likely to succeed than a woman just
six years older, the figures show.

The 12 year study led by Hospital Universitairo
Quiron- Dexeus in Barcelona, involved 4,000
women.

Dr Marta Devesa, lead researcher, said women
should be encouraged to start trying for a
family at a younger age, or to freeze their eggs
by 35, if that was not possible.

She said: "There is a clinically relevant decline
from 41/42 - but the prognosis is really futile
from 44 and onwards."

"Women should be encouraged to have families
earlier but if you can't change society then we
should encourage them to freeze their eggs by
35," she said.
Celine Dion has also spoken openly
Prof Charles Kingsland, from Liverpool
Women's Hospital said he many well educated
women knew little about their fertility levels.
"I'm amazed at how many women say I'm
going to have my career, relationship with the
man of my dreams, buy a house then have a
family - and I think no you cannot do that," he
said.

"Even the most well-informed women are
ignorant and still just don't realise how much
age affects fertility," Prof Kingsland said.
Prof Stuart Lavery, consultant gynaecologist
from Hammersmith Hospital said he thought a
lot of people would be "shocked" by just how
stark the findings were for women in their early
40s.

He said he hoped the findings would "guide
realistic expectations" among older women
hoping to start a family.
Separate British statistics which examine the
chance of success for each cycle of IVF - but
not overall chance of having a baby - show that
fertility drops slowly until 37, when a rapid
decline starts.

• 'Offer fertility check to every woman over
35’
The new research shows what that means for
the chance overall of having a baby.
Official figures show one in three females
undergoing fertility treatment in the UK are
over the age of 38.

Professor Adam Balen, chairman of the British
Fertility Society, said: "Whilst you hear lots of
good news stories about celebrities who may
have given birth at an older age, nobody knows
the number of celebrities who may not have
been able to have babies, either because of
infertility or possibly even having had fertility
treatment that has been unsuccessful.

The consultant in reproductive medicine in
Leeds said: "There is always a strong possibility
that many of these celebrities may well have
sought the help of assistance in a fertility clinic
and may have conceived either with IVF or
donor egg.
