Most women think that there's this magic cliff at age 35.

Yeah.

Yes.

And if I ask them to explain why, most women think it's because they're almost out of eggs.

The number of patients I have who schedule an appointment for me because it's their 35th birthday has passed.

That's the number one appointment type I see.

Hey, I'm 35, so I'm infertile now, or I'm almost out of eggs.

the majority of women are nowhere close to out of eggs at age 35.

If we go back to my favorite analogy, the vault, right?

You're born with all your eggs, every month a group of them comes out of the vault.

One is randomly chosen to ovulate, the rest of them die, and the next month you have another group.

Now, when you are younger and the vault is more full, more eggs come out every month.

As the vault starts to get emptier, fewer eggs come out every month.

So imagine there's a bouncer at the room trying to keep the room at the right amount of people.

Someone's really crowded.

He's shoving more out.

And as it starts to get empty, he doesn't want as many people to leave.

An average 30-year-old would have 20 eggs coming out of the vault.

So she would ovulate one and 19 would die.

So much loss.
