If you’ve ever felt like turning 35 means you have to rush into fertility treatment, you’re not alone.

In this video, Dr. Quetrell Heyward breaks down one of the most common misconceptions about fertility and age. While egg quality does tend to decline more noticeably after 35, that doesn’t mean you can’t get pregnant after 35 or that egg freezing is no longer an option.

Know someone who’s stressed about the “35 deadline”? Share this video with them. It could help replace fear with facts.

At Spring Fertility, we’re here to help you make informed decisions on your timeline, not someone else’s.
