Fertility After 40: Real Stats, Real Options, Real Talk

In this solo episode, Dr. Sasha dives into one of the most requested topics on the podcast: trying to conceive and being pregnant after 40. She cuts through the noise of misleading celebrity headlines and online misinformation to give you a clear, honest, and compassionate look at the biology, statistics, and real options available to you. In This Episode, You'll Learn: → Why more women are having babies in their 40s than ever before — and why that's a good thing → The biology of egg aging: how quantity and quality decline, and what's actually happening at the cellular level (mitochondrial dysfunction, meiosis errors, chromosomal abnormalities) → What your AMH level means after 40, and why high ovarian reserve can be a game-changer → Natural fertility rates by age and when ASRM guidelines say to seek immediate care → IVF success rates broken down by age: from 43% live birth rate under 35, all the way down to 3% over 42 Follow Dr. Sasha!
