Ovulation happens now, progesterone comes up with the estrogen and you get the cyclic nature of estrogen, estrogen, progesterone.

the lining of the uterus is receptive for that embryo to implant.

If there's no embryo, you bleed.

If there is an embryo, it implants.

If it's a healthy embryo, you get a baby.

If it's an unhealthy embryo, you can just have a positive test, or you can have a miscarriage, or you can have an unfortunate event where you get to 16 weeks pregnant, your baby has a genetic abnormality like Turner syndrome, Edwards syndrome, Down syndrome, Klinefelter syndrome, and younger eggs do better.

And the system was designed

for 14 year olds who were dead by 25 to have only three babies from those 80 eggs that they ovulated in their whole lifetime from the 7 million they had in their ovary as a fetus.

That's where we started.

Back then in the beginning, it was like 14.

And by the time you were 25, you had to have three living children.

So the system was never the efficiency we were taught in that third grade sex ed class where it made it sound like every time you had sex, you'd get pregnant.

It's nothing like that.

So in 1984, it was 19.

A woman had her first baby at an average age of 19 in the whole United States.

Last year in the whole United States that number was 30 and I'm not in the United States, I'm in New York City, it's a different beast.

Our patients are in their late 30s and we weren't designed for that because you have limited eggs, you're losing them, you have quality of eggs changing as you get older, you have hormones changing because of that, so your body is going through lots of changes

It's very difficult to get pregnant.

It's very difficult to stay pregnant.

For instance, a 40-year-old woman has about a natural pregnancy rate of 2% to 3% per month of getting a baby.
