At what age do women lose their fertility?

As we all know, the best childbearing age for women is their 20s. After women are over 30, their fertility will continue to decline with age. This is a normal physiological phenomenon, so women should seize the better stage to get pregnant and have children. However, in recent years, many families have begun to want a second child, but are worried that they are too old to have children. So, in general, how old do women become when they lose their fertility?

At what age do women lose their fertility?

Since the implementation of the two-child policy, more and more families have actively joined the second-child army. Some people may have been preparing for pregnancy for a long time due to some special reasons, but there is no movement in their belly. In fact, whether or not a woman can have a second child has a lot to do with her childbearing age. If a woman can meet the childbearing age, then to a large extent she can also satisfy her wish to become a mother again. But many people may not be very clear about when a woman’s fertility ends? Let’s learn more about it below.

At what age can a woman become fertile? If you are over this age, you may have to give up.

In fact, a woman's fertility has a lot to do with the time of her menopause. As we all know, women have their periods every month, and through their periods, we can also grasp a woman's health status in a timely manner. Menstruation is mainly caused by the unfertilized egg cell. In fact, it is closely related to the time of menopause and ovulation. If a woman is still ovulating, then there is a high probability that she will have her period, and there is a possibility of conception. Generally speaking, women will gradually enter menopause after the age of 45 or 50. If your period disappears completely, then it is very likely that your body will no longer ovulate, which means a loss of fertility.

However, this cannot be generalized, and it does not mean that all women can get pregnant during this period. In fact, the best childbearing age for women is between 23 and 30 years old. At this age, all organs of women are very well developed, especially the uterus and ovaries are at their most mature stage, which is very conducive to pregnancy and childbirth, and also conducive to postpartum recovery. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends get pregnant and have children before the age of 35. This is because after a woman is over 35, various body functions will decline, thus affecting the function of the uterus and ovaries. Women in this period are also considered older mothers. If they become pregnant and give birth at this time, the following two problems may arise.

1. Susceptible to pregnancy diseases

For older mothers, they may be prone to pregnancy diseases throughout the pregnancy, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, gestational diabetes, etc. These symptoms often occur in older mothers, and throughout the pregnancy, the mother's physical fitness will decline, so her physical strength and other aspects may not be able to keep up with the baby's needs. She may have a much harder time than normal pregnant women throughout the pregnancy.

2. Not conducive to childbirth and postpartum recovery

And for older mothers, the chances of danger during childbirth are often higher. For example, heavy bleeding and so on. And if the physical strength cannot keep up during the delivery process, it will easily bring certain difficulties to the delivery. And since various functions of the body will decline, the weight metabolism rate and detoxification function will also show a relatively downward trend. This can easily lead to slower postpartum recovery and the inability to completely discharge lochia.
