Abstract:
When to Stop Contraception - Reasons and Consequences of Delaying Parenthood Abstract. Women are delaying motherhood for many reasons. However, knowledge on age-related decline of fertility is limited. Many patients and even physicians are not aware that female fertility starts to diminish significantly after the age of thirty-two years, and success rates of in vitro treatment are overestimated in the general population. Apart from maternal age there is no predictor for future fecundity. Physicians should actively discuss reasons for delaying motherhood and options for improving fecundity. During the reproductive life span, women need reliable counselling on contraception and fertility.
