In episode 93 of The PCOS Oracle Podcast, I speak with Dr. Aumatma who debunks some very popular fertility myths and speaks about how to prepare for your fertility journey.
It was really great delving into the many myths surrounding fertility and this whole biological clock. There’s this belief that after the age of 35 a females fertility has suddenly and drastically declines. When in reality, as Dr. Aumatma reveals, there are studies and evidence showing fertility doesn’t take a nose dive and conceiving and having a healthy pregnancy beyond 35 into ones 60s, is possible.
