That said, the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) shares that any woman of any age can get pregnant — with medical help — provided that she has a “normal uterus” even if she no longer has ovaries or ovarian function.

A pregnancy after age 35 automatically puts you in the “advanced maternal age” (AMA) category. But try your best to not let that label intimidate you — successful pregnancy after 35 is still common! But what about after 40? 45? While the road to getting pregnant may be harder for some after a certain age, others may sail through relatively easily. There are many factors at play, including things like your current health status and how close you are to menopause. Here’s more about your chances of conceiving by age, what risks may be involved for you and your baby, and what questions you may want to ask your doctor before you embark on this journey. Pregnancy success at different ages It’s true that there’s a biological clock of sorts. It starts when you get your first period and stops when you reach menopause. As time goes on, your chances of having a successful pregnancy become less and less as your egg reserve diminishes, your egg quality decreases, and your hormones change. Fertility rates trend with the average number of eggs a woman has at any given age. In general, you begin puberty with between 300,000 to 500,000 eggs. This number drops to around 25,000 at age 37 and continues dropping to 1,000 or fewer by age 51. How does this look exactly? Well, the likelihood of becoming pregnant naturally (without medical assistance) after a year of trying is as follows: <30 years old 85 percent 30 years old 75 percent 35 years old 66 percent 40 years old 44 percent Even if you have a lot of eggs and you’re in your 20s or early 30s, your chance of getting pregnant in any given month is 1 out of 4, according to ACOG. By the time you reach 40, only 1 in 10 women will get pregnant each cycle. Regarding women who undergo artificial reproductive technology (ART), live birth success rates follow a similar decreasing trend with age, according to 2015 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) : Younger than 35 years old 31 percent 35 to 37 years old 24 percent 38 to 40 years old 16 percent 41 to 42 years old 8 percent 43 years old and older 3 percent Related: A look at your fertility timeline Risks of pregnancy after age 35 Many women are able to carry pregnancies after age 35 and beyond. However, there are certain risks — for both mother and baby — that tend to increase with maternal age. Infertility. It may take longer to get pregnant as you get closer to menopause. Why? Your body begins life with a set number of eggs. As time goes on, that number becomes fewer and fewer. Eggs may also be of lesser quality as you age, meaning they may be harder to fertilize/implant.

Eggs may also be of lesser quality as you age, meaning they may be harder to fertilize/implant. Miscarriage. With a decrease in egg quality comes a higher risk of miscarriage. Pregnancy loss may also be more likely due to medical conditions you have, like high blood pressure or diabetes. Stillbirth is another possibility as well, so it’s important to keep up with prenatal appointments to catch issues early. With a decrease in egg quality comes a higher risk of miscarriage.

For example, the risk of having a child with Down syndrome is around 1 in 1,480 for women at age 20. At age 40, this risk increases to 1 in 85. Older women may also encounter more chromosome issues.

While having more than one bundle of joy may sound more like a blessing than anything else, carrying multiples comes with additional risks. The reasons twins or higher order multiples are more likely over age 35 has to do with hormonal changes (you may release more than one egg each cycle) and the use of ART like IVF.

Gestational diabetes. Diabetes that develops during pregnancy may make a baby grow large while still inside the womb. When a baby is too large, there’s a possibility of injury at birth. Not only that, but gestational diabetes can contribute to high blood pressure (for mom) and premature birth or other complications (for baby).

With pregnancy complications comes an increased risk of having a C-section versus vaginal delivery. In fact, cesarean delivery rates increase the older you get: from 26 percent at age 20 to 40 percent at age 35 to 48 percent at age 40. Related: Health concerns for new mothers at 50

This process involves choosing a surrogate, deciding how pregnancy will be achieved (IVF using a donor egg, your egg, your partner’s sperm, donor sperm, etc.), and then following the legal processes to gain full custody after birth. Egg freezing. If you know in advance that you’d like to wait to have a baby and you’re still under age 35, you might consider freezing your eggs now. If you freeze your eggs in your early 30s and plan to use them in your 40s, your odds of having a healthy baby relate to your age when you froze your eggs and not your current biological age.

Embryo adoption. Whether you choose to do IVF yourself or to use a surrogate, embryo adoption is another option. Embryos are generally frozen and donated by couples who aren’t using them in their own ART procedures. Whether you choose to do IVF yourself or to use a surrogate, embryo adoption is another option. Embryos are generally frozen and donated by couples who aren’t using them in their own ART procedures. Adoption. There are also many children who are seeking homes through the foster care system, private domestic adoption, or international adoption. Children range in ages from newborn all the way up to the teen years. Related: I didn’t think surrogacy was for me. And then life happened. Additional considerations If you’re over age 35 and have been trying to conceive for 6 months or longer, contact your doctor. While the rule you may have heard says you should try for a year before seeking help, this timeline becomes expedited as age increases. If you’re currently dealing with physical or mental health issues, make a plan with your doctor to address those issues so you can get in the best shape to carry a pregnancy. This includes reaching a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise and kicking any unhealthy habits with drugs, alcohol, and smoking. And once you do get pregnant, be sure to attend all your prenatal appointments so you can catch any issues that arise before they become bigger problems for your health or your baby’s health. Being AMA means you may have additional appointments, tests, and ultrasounds. It may seem like a lot of office visits, but it’s all meant to keep you and your baby safe.
