By the time a lady turns 35, her chances of a successful pregnancy fall rapidly! A key contributor to a successful pregnancy is a lady’s age. Ladies are born with all the eggs they will ever produce so as they get older, both the quality and quantity of the eggs decrease. Therefore, by the time women are in their mid-40s, the chances of becoming pregnant are minuscule.
It is not impossible for ladies who are more than 45 years old to have children but it will be very challenging as there are not many healthy eggs left. It is not heavily publicised but some celebrities who are parents after turning 45 years old tend to use eggs that come from a much younger egg donor or they use their eggs that have been frozen when they were younger.
