Among couples with fertility problems, those in which the man is over age 35 have lower pregnancy rates and increased chances of miscarriage, a new study shows. This might have come up as a surprise for those who believe that age has nothing to do with infertility.
To come to this conclusion, French researchers looked at more than 12,000 couples who went to a fertility clinic in France.
In most of the cases, the couples were being treated due to the man’s infertility. The couples underwent a total of 21,239 intrauterine inseminations (IUIs).
The researchers found that women over age 35 had a pregnancy rate of 8.9 percent, compared to 14.5 percent in younger women.
