Men, age and fertility
Your Fertility explains what is known about paternal age: sperm quality changes gradually with age and this can affect the time to conception and some pregnancy outcomes.
How a man's age affects fertility.
Where to find support
- Your doctor, for medical advice, referrals and emotional support.
- Your fertility clinic, for questions about your treatment or results.
- Your nearest hospital or maternity unit, if you are pregnant and worried.
- Your local emergency number, if symptoms are severe or worsening.
Key takeaways
- Male fertility declines gradually rather than stopping at a set age.
- Older paternal age is linked with longer time to pregnancy.
- Age is one factor among several.
