The Egg Factor

Pregnant at 40+ with Dr. Gleicher

Center For Human Reproduction

More women than ever are choosing to build families in their 40s, but pregnancy at this stage comes with unique challenges and opportunities. In this episode, Dr. Norbert Gleicher breaks down what makes pregnancy over 40 different, from fertility and egg quality to emotional resilience and medical care. He explains what matters most for success, how individualized protocols can make a difference, and why pregnancy after 40 is not only possible but increasingly common.
