Understanding Fertility After 35 & Why Fertility Declines After 35

What Every Woman Should Know – Insights from Dr. Chinmay Pataki, Best IVF Doctor in Dombivali
Why Fertility Declines After 35
Turning 35 often marks a new chapter in a woman’s fertility journey. While many women go on to have healthy pregnancies well into their late 30s and early 40s, it's important to understand how age naturally influences reproductive potential. Knowing these changes helps you make timely, informed decisions—especially if you're planning to conceive or facing delays in getting pregnant.
Dr Chinmay Pataki at Isha Women’s Hospital believes age is just a number—with the right guidance and advanced fertility support, pregnancy after 35 is not only possible but also achievable.


The Age-Fertility Connection: A Quick Breakdown

Age and Fertility Status
  • Under 30 - Peak fertility, high chances of natural conception
  • 30–34 - Slight natural decline begins
  • 35–39 - Noticeable drop in egg quality and quantity
  • 40+ - Sharp decline; IVF often recommended for success
As women grow older, the ovaries begin to release fewer eggs each month, and the quality of those eggs tends to decline. This natural process can impact both the ability to conceive and the health of a resulting pregnancy. However, this doesn’t mean your dreams of motherhood have to be delayed or dismissed. With timely intervention and expert care, your chances can still be optimized.


What Exactly Changes After 35?

Several physiological changes begin to occur in a woman’s reproductive system post-35. These changes can affect conception as well as the overall success of pregnancy. Understanding them allows women to act proactively rather than reactively.
Here are the key age-related fertility changes: -
  • Reduced Egg Reserve: The number of eggs you’re born with gradually decreases over time. After 35, this decline becomes more pronounced, leaving fewer eggs available for ovulation and fertilization.
  • Increased Chromosomal Abnormalities: Older eggs are more likely to have chromosomal errors, which can lead to difficulties in conceiving or an increased risk of miscarriage.
  • Decline in Egg Quality: Even if ovulation continues, the likelihood of those eggs developing into healthy embryos reduces with age.
Despite these challenges, Dr. Chinmay Pataki, a trusted name in fertility care across Dombivali, Thane & Mumbai, reminds couples that age-related infertility is manageable with the right approach. With thorough evaluation and individualized treatment planning, even women in their late 30s or early 40s can experience a successful pregnancy.


IVF Success Rates by Age – What the Numbers Say

Many women turn to IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) when natural conception proves difficult after 35. While age does impact IVF outcomes, success is still very much possible—especially with expert-led, personalized treatment like the ones offered at Isha Women Hospital in Dombivli.
Age Group and IVF Success Rate (with own eggs)
  • Under 35 - 40–45%
  • 35–37 - 35–40%
  • 38–40 - 30–35%
  • 40+ - 20–30%
As seen above, IVF success rates decrease with increasing age due to the reduced number and quality of healthy eggs. But that’s where Isha Women’s Hospital sets itself apart. Under the leadership of Dr. Chinmay Pataki, we offer:
  • Customized IVF protocols based on age and egg reserve
  • Advanced techniques like Blastocyst culture, Time-lapse monitoring, Embryo freezing, and Laser-assisted hatching
  • Access to donor egg programs if needed
  • State-of-the-art labs and technology to support optimal embryo development
Your age may be rising—but with the right support, so can your chances of becoming a parent. Whether you’re 35 or 42, our team walks with you every step of the way, offering clarity, confidence, and compassion.


What Makes IVF Successful After 35?

According to Dr. Chinmay Pataki, several advanced approaches can enhance the success of IVF for women over 35:
  • Higher doses of fertility medication may be needed to stimulate adequate egg growth
  • Close ultrasound and hormonal monitoring ensure the best timing for egg retrieval
  • Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy (PGT-A) helps select chromosomally normal embryos, increasing chances of implantation and reducing miscarriage
  • AI-assisted embryo selection used at Isha Women Hospital further improves embryo selection accuracy
At Isha Women’s Hospital, every IVF cycle is customized to your body, your age, and your goals—a philosophy that has made us the best IVF centre in Dombivli and Thane district.
Dr. Chinmay Pataki’s Expert Tip:
“Age is just one part of your fertility story. What matters most is getting the right diagnosis early and starting the right treatment plan. With personalized IVF protocols, even women above 35 have a strong chance at a healthy pregnancy.”


IVF Options for Women Over 35

Explore Real, Science-Backed Choices with Dr. Chinmay Pataki at Isha IVF Centre
Trying to conceive after 35 doesn’t mean you're out of options—it means choosing smarter, more personalized fertility solutions. At Isha Women’s Hospital, Dombivli, Dr. Chinmay Pataki tailors each IVF plan based on your age, ovarian reserve, and reproductive history. Here are the most effective IVF options for women over 35:
For many women over 35, using their eggs for IVF is still a very real and achievable option—especially when supported by modern, science-backed advancements. However, as age increases, both egg quality and implantation potential tend to decline. This is where Isha Women’s Hospital, Dombivli, stands apart.
Under the expert care of Dr. Chinmay Pataki, Isha Women Hospital offers cutting-edge technologies and personalized IVF plans to enhance your chances of a successful pregnancy.


Most Effective IVF Enhancements for Women Trying to Conceive with their Own Eggs

1. PGT-A (Preimplantation Genetic Testing for Aneuploidy)
PGT-A is a genetic screening tool that checks embryos for chromosomal abnormalities before they are transferred to the uterus.
Why it matters:
As a woman’s age increases, the risk of chromosomal abnormalities in eggs also rises, leading to a higher chance of miscarriage or implantation failure. PGT-A helps select genetically healthy embryos, improving both pregnancy rates and reducing the risk of miscarriage.
“This test gives us clarity on which embryos are most viable. It’s especially useful for women over 38 or with previous failed IVF cycles,” says Dr. Chinmay Pataki.
 
2. Endometrial Receptivity Testing (ERA)
Even the healthiest embryo needs the right environment to implant. The endometrial receptivity test determines the best “implantation window”—the optimal time to transfer the embryo when the uterus is most receptive.
Why it matters:
Women over 35 may experience hormonal changes that affect the receptivity of their uterine lining. ERA ensures that we time the transfer with precision for better success.
 
3. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy
PRP uses your own blood's natural growth factors to rejuvenate the uterine lining. It’s a minimally invasive therapy that enhances the quality and thickness of the endometrium.
Why it matters:
Thin or poor-quality endometrial lining is a common issue in women over 35. PRP helps prepare a more receptive environment for embryo implantation, especially in women with past implantation failures.
 4. Laser-Assisted Hatching (LAH)
During IVF, embryos are surrounded by a shell-like layer called the zona pellucida. LAH uses a precise laser to create a small opening in this layer, helping the embryo “hatch” and implant more easily in the uterus.
Why it matters:
Embryos in older women sometimes have a harder time breaking through this outer shell. Laser-assisted hatching increases the chances of successful implantation, especially in frozen embryo transfers or women with repeated IVF failures.
At Isha Women Hospital, Dr Chinmay Pataki don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all IVF plan. Instead, he personally evaluates your reproductive profile—age, ovarian reserve, past IVF history, and uterine health—to create a treatment path that gives you the best possible outcome.
“Advanced IVF doesn’t mean complicated treatment—it means making smart, personalized choices backed by science,” – Dr. Chinmay Pataki, Fertility Consultant at Isha Women’s Hospital, Dombivli.
