For once, a good news about getting old..
Most of the time you heard about how your (yes, also for men!) clock is ticking as you get older.
However, according to this study in Uppsala, the older you get the bigger chance you have of getting pregnant. Ok, it (only) applies to about 5% of women in reproductive age who have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
Yes, it's a small study, but still a good news nonetheless.
Normally, as women age, her fertility is reduced due to fewer follicles that are produced each month. But in women with PCOS, the fewer follicles have a positive effect: it stop the hormonal interference and cause follicles to release eggs normally. Something that their body didnt do previously.
So it's true, every cloud has a silver lining.
