Is the chance of infertility higher for older women?

Patient's question:

My classmates and friends are getting married and becoming mothers one after another, but I haven't found a suitable partner yet. My family always tries to persuade me not to be too picky. Recently, my mom even seriously told me that if I don't get married soon, I might not be able to have children in the future, and she mentioned that many older women suffer from infertility. I'm half convinced and half skeptical.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the fertility of older women tends to decline relatively, and the risk of infertility and subfertility is also higher. According to women's physiological patterns, fertility is strongest at the age of 25, and it gradually declines after the age of 30. After 35, it declines rapidly, and by the age of 44, 87% of women have lost their ability to conceive. Therefore, it is recommended that women complete their fertility before the age of 30.
