Why Your Fertility Declines As you Age & What You Can Do About It
Our ability to conceive will inevitably, at one stage, become non-existent
Fertility is somewhat of a hidden and taboo subject.
Today on LinkedIn, I read a very heartfelt post from a woman who had undergone many fertility treatments and, with great joy, finally had a child.
The anguish she felt hiding all of her ultrasounds, appointments, and symptoms because she didn’t want to seem “uncommitted at work.”
It drove home the cost, both mentally, emotionally and financially, families push through to win the war on fertility.
A similar situation is happening to a friend of mine.
With no underlying fertility issues, at 44, she’s undergoing treatment after treatment with no success.
This is her last chance.
It’s heartbreaking news, knowing you cannot conceive — even more so when the infertility is unknown.
But this may all change in the future — if scientists can pinpoint ways to reverse the signs of aging eggs.
