As women continue to push the age of initial childbearing back, age-related fertility decline increases. Decreasing fertility is an inevitable physiologic process that occurs in all women approaching menopause. Therefore, patient counseling and education on age-related fertility decline is a critical aspect of family planning, particularly as options such as oocyte preservation become available for those planning late childbearing. Understanding the general trend of age-related fertility decline allows clinicians to offer appropriate counseling before fertility declines irreversibly.This continuing education activity aims to enhance clinicians’ competence in evaluating, implementing, and educating patients about age-related fertility decline, emphasizing proactive patient education, treatment options, and monitoring parameters to provide evidence-based and patient-centered care. Various fertility preservation techniques, including cryopreservation of oocytes or embryos, offer options for women concerned about age-related decline in fertility, with oocyte donation being a viable option for some couples facing infertility due to advanced maternal age.
