Do you need support with fertility? InstantScripts can help you with your fertility via personalised prescriptions, medical advice, fertility blood tests and specialist referrals.
Female fertility typically begins to decline in the late 20s to early 30s, with a more significant decrease after age 35. By age 40, fertility may be considerably lower, and the chances of conception decrease.
Several factors can impact female fertility, including age, hormonal imbalances, medical conditions (e.g., polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis), lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity) and environmental factors (e.g., exposure to toxins).
To improve fertility, women can:
- Maintain a healthy weight
- Eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals
- Exercise regularly
- Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption
- Manage stress
- Consult a healthcare provider for any underlying medical conditions
Common signs of infertility may include:
- Irregular or absent menstrual cycles
- Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
- History of miscarriage
- Age over 35 with difficulty conceiving after six months of trying
Women should consider seeking help from a doctor if they are under 35 and have been trying to conceive for over a year, or if they are 35 or older and have been trying for six months without success. InstantScripts doctors can help with medical advice, personalised prescriptions, blood tests and specialist referrals to our partner Adora Fertility. Adora Fertility are a private clinic committed to high quality, specialist-led fertility treatment without the premium costs. They were the first Australian provider to offer bulk-billed IVF.
Female fertility refers to a woman's ability to conceive and bear children. It involves the proper functioning of the reproductive system, including the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and hormones.
