Factors Affecting Fertility
Age is the number one factor affecting fertility for both men and women. As age increases, the chances of successful conception decrease. Freezing eggs and sperm at a younger age can increase the chances of having genetically normal embryos in the future. Obesity is also linked to impaired fertility, as excess fat can lead to hormonal imbalances. Overall, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including exercise and proper nutrition, is crucial for optimizing fertility.
