Answer 1

Maternal age is bigger imperidense for getting pregnant at higher age .

This is so because the number of ovum and the quality of ovum with age will decrease with age . . In female the process of formation of ovum is stoped after 49 years of age . After that pregnancy will not occur but in male the sperm will be produced even after 50 years of age ,found might be low . So as considering the number of ovum to number of sperm male is having more advantage and female is at disadvantage. The number of ovum in the ovary will alsoe reduce significantly and the risk for disorders like PCOD. , Occlusion of fallopian tube,uterine cancer ,ovarianj cancer are high .
