Is It Too Late to Conceive

Fertility and Perimenopause – Is It Too Late to Conceive?

Perimenopause marks the years before menopause when hormone levels begin to change. Many women worry it’s “too late” to get pregnant during this stage. The truth is: conception is possible, but fertility naturally declines with age. At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, 73 Baker Street, London W1U 6RD, we provide fertility MOTs and hormone testing to help you understand your chances and plan the right next steps.

What Happens to Fertility in Perimenopause?

  • Egg quality declines – fewer eggs are released, and they may have a higher risk of chromosomal issues.
  • Cycles become irregular – making it harder to predict ovulation.
  • Hormone changes – lower oestrogen and progesterone affect conception.

A fertility assessment London gives you a clear picture of where you stand today.

Can You Get Pregnant During Perimenopause?

Yes, it is still possible, especially in the early stages. Many women conceive naturally with support from lifestyle adjustments, fertility vitamins, or targeted treatment.

If natural conception proves difficult, our fertility experts can guide you on options such as assisted reproduction.

Fertility Enhancers and Lifestyle Support

Boosting fertility during perimenopause is about maximising your body’s potential.

  • Fertility-friendly foods: oily fish, leafy greens, nuts, and whole grains.
  • Fertility vitamins for women: folic acid, vitamin D, zinc, and antioxidants.
  • Healthy lifestyle: maintaining a balanced weight, reducing alcohol, and stopping smoking.
