A sensitive topic for many women and families. Current research, according to Dr. Marcelle Cedars an OB/GYN and fertility specialist at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center, shows that a woman's chances of getting pregnant declines at age 27. A healthy lifestyle will not improve fertility rates since eggs have a predetermined aging rate. This is only a few examples of common fertility misconceptions.
