Although a simple concept, family planning can be quite complex. According to research, mid-to late 20s is the peak fertility age of a woman. During this time, they have a higher number of normal eggs over abnormal ones in their ovaries, which increases their chances of a healthy pregnancy.
Every girl child is born with a fixed number of eggs (about 1-2 million) in her ovaries. As a female gets older, the number of eggs in her reserve decrease naturally with each passing period. Besides, the quality of these eggs also declines with increasing age.
