Yes, that is the answer. As a woman grows older, her ability to conceive diminishes over time. All women are born with a limited and finite number of eggs and no new ones are produced throughout life. This number of eggs gradually decreases over time as a woman naturally ages, until one is entirely worn out by the time menopause is reached. However, with age, not only does the quantity of eggs decrease, but also their quality. For all these reasons, age is a crucial factor for female fertility and achieving pregnancy.
