What is the Biologic Clock?
The “Biologic Clock” is a collective term that refers to the incessant winding down of the reproductive organs along with the physiologic wear and tear occurring throughout the normal aging process. Few topics related to infertility arouse so much anxiety and confusion as the effect of aging on fertility and ultimately pregnancy. It is a source of internal stress that can be overwhelming as a woman worries about her “biologic clock”, which can sometimes lead to additional medical problems like anxiety and depression. During this time it can be helpful to become well informed in order to best understand how the physiologic process of aging affects fertility.
