Understanding Menopause
Menopause is a natural phase in every woman’s life when menstrual periods stop permanently. It usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, but fertility begins to decline much earlier—often silently.
For many women in India, their career goals, late marriages, or personal reasons may delay pregnancy plans. Understanding how menopause affects fertility can help you make informed, timely decisions.
How Menopause Affects a Woman’s Fertility
- Slowly declining number of eggs
Women are born with a limited number of eggs. As age increases, this reserve reduces steadily. By the time menopause approaches, the ovaries are left with very few eggs, making natural conception difficult.
2. Reduced in Egg Quality
With increasing age in every women :
- Eggs are less likely to fertilize
- Risk of miscarriage increases
- Chances of chromosomal abnormalities rise
This is why fertility challenges are more common after the age of 35.
3. Hormonal Changes & Irregular Ovulation
During the years leading up to menopause (called perimenopause):
- Hormones fluctuate
- Periods may become irregular
- Ovulation may not occur every month
This makes planning a pregnancy unpredictable and stressful for many women.
Can Pregnancy Still Happen Near Menopause?
Yes—but the chances are low and unpredictable.
- Some women may conceive naturally during perimenopause
- Many require medical assistance to improve success
- After menopause, natural pregnancy is not possible
