Perimenopause and pregnancy
The number of follicles (eggs) in the ovaries steadily diminishes over a woman’s reproductive lifetime. By the age of 40 years, the rate of decline becomes faster. But despite the reduction in the amount of follicles available for ripening, ovulation continues in up to 98% of women over the age of 40 who have regular menstrual cycles. This emphasizes the need for contraception – because YES, you can get pregnant!
