Ep 271: The Fertility Clock: Why Age Matters More Than You Think

Join Dr. Laurice Bou Nemer from IVF Florida along with hosts Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas , Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center , and Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center for a crucial topic: how age impacts fertility. As women age, both the number and quality of eggs decline, especially after 35. By 40, fertility is significantly reduced, and after 45, natural conception is rare. The doctors break down what happens to egg quality with age, including how older eggs are more likely to have chromosomal abnormalities, increasing the risk of miscarriage or genetic issues. They also tackle the common myth that healthy living can override the biological clock and shed light on the misleading narratives around celebrity pregnancies. This honest conversation is essential listening for anyone considering their fertility future—don’t miss it! This episode was brought to you from ReceptivaDx and IVF Florida .
