Table 11. Number of cycles of attempted conception required at different ages for various indicators of subfertility to be attained, for example 5.
Median intrinsic conception rate <0.05 | 90th percentile of intrinsic conception rate <0.2 | Probability of conceiving in next cycle <0.1 | Probability of conceiving in next cycle <0.05 | Probability of conceiving in next 12 cycles <0.5 | |
Age 25 | 24 | 12 | 13 | 26 | 19 |
Age 30 | 18 | 10 | 10 | 21 | 14 |
Age 35 | 12 | 6 | 6 | 15 | 8 |
Age 40 | 4 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 0 |
The model of how fertility declines with age for example 5 is described in the text, with details of the computational implementation given in the supporting information (text S1).
