My husband and I are in our late 20s and planning for a baby. We're trying to figure out the best time to try. Is there a 'best age' for intercourse to conceive, or does it vary a lot?
While medical books say 20 to 30 is the prime age, please don't lose heart if you are older. I conceived in my late 30s through IVF, so age is just one part of the journey.
Biologically, fertility starts dipping after 35, but it varies for everyone. It is best to consult a gynac for a fertility checkup to understand your body better.
Honestly, fertility is generally best in your 20s and early 30s. But modern science is amazing, I had my baby via C-section at 34 and we both are doing great.
According to my doctor, peak fertility is between 20 and 30 years because egg quality is best. However, healthy pregnancies are very common up to late 30s with proper care.
