Johnson, MD on November 06, 2020 IN THIS ARTICLE Risk Factors for Infertility Her Risks His Risks Some people with fertility problems never even know it until they try to have a baby. That’s because oftentimes infertility issues don’t have symptoms. So whether you’re actively trying to have children or just planning to in the future, it’s good to know if anything you or your partner are doing might reduce your chances of getting pregnant. While you can’t control everything that might affect your fertility, there are some things you can. Risk Factors for Infertility Men and women are equally at risk for fertility problems. In about one-third of cases, both partners have issues, or doctors can’t find the cause. Some of the factors that affect a couple’s ability to have a baby include: Age. Women are born with a set number of eggs. That number drops as they age, making it harder for them to get pregnant after they reach their mid-30s. By 40, their chances of getting pregnant drop from 90% to 67%. By age 45, it’s just 15%. A man is less fertile after age 40. Can you lower your risk? Sort of. When you’re ready to have children, don’t wait. The younger you are the better.
