Eps 380: How Age Really Affects Female Fertility w/ Dr. Jaime Knopman

Fertility is often treated like a guarantee until it isn’t.I wanted this conversation because I see so many women doing everything “right” in life, only to feel blindsided when fertility doesn’t align with their timeline. We talk about why fertility is not one thing, how egg quality and quantity change over time, and why having regular cycles doesn’t always mean fertility is intact. Episode Timeline: 00:00 – Episode Preview01:31 – Podcast Intro02:05 – Queen of Egg Freezing05:24 – Egg Quality Matters Most06:19 – Pregnancy After Menopause07:19 – Be Your Own Egg Donor32:16 – Where to Find Dr. JamieAbout Dr. Jaime Knopman: Is a double board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, Director of Fertility Preservation at CCRM Fertility New York, and author of the forthcoming book Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future, (Countryman Press, Jan 13th, 2026).
