New Yorks Center for Human Reproduction releases special advice for women over 40 interested in becoming pregnant.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 01, 2012

Its important to recognize the urgency of aggressive fertility treatment when you are above age 40, says Dr. Gleicher, Medical Director of CHR, which released the tip sheet. As women get older, their ovarian reserve (a measure of ovaries ability to produce good-quality eggs) declines. Because this process of ovarian aging speeds up significantly after age 40, timely diagnosis of infertility becomes crucial especially after age 40. Every fertility treatment loses efficacy rapidly with declining ovarian reserve.

As a fertility center of last resort for patients with diminished ovarian reserve, CHR sees a large number of women over 40 with premature ovarian aging. Dr. Gleicher continues: There isnt a day when we dont hear our patients say doctor, I wish Id known about your center years ago, when I was doing such and such... The earlier we can start treatment, the better, of course, our chances of helping our patients! This is why we are issuing this fertility tip sheet.
