The Fertility Cliff Reconsidered: What the Data Really Shows for Women 40 and Over
We’ve all heard it: after 40, your chances of conceiving with your own eggs plummet. But is the data behind the so-called "fertility cliff" as clear-cut as it seems?
In this episode of The Egg Factor, CHR's Dr. Norbert Gleicher unpacks research, clinical experience, and patient outcomes to challenge the mainstream narrative. He explores how fertility statistics have been widely misinterpreted, why donor eggs are often recommended too quickly, and what ovarian potential really looks like in women over 40.
If you’ve been told your only option is egg donation—or you’re wondering whether age alone should determine your treatment path—this conversation is for you.
