Love Q&A: Could My Husband's Age Affect Our Chances of Getting Pregnant?

Q.

Could my husband's age affect our chances of getting pregnant?

A.

There's no definitive age when men lose their ability to reproduce, since the number (or concentration) of sperm remains relatively constant over time. While some studies have shown that advanced paternal age may be linked to higher rates of miscarriage, more research is needed. But just like with maternal age, younger is always better.
