What can women do to optimize their odds of getting pregnant past a certain age? Dr. John Schmitt: Well, other than the things I have already mentioned, I think having a -- if they don't achieve pregnancy in six months, certainly, by a year then they really ought to seek some professional help because if things aren't right they don't have a lot of time to maximize their chances of getting pregnancy. But again timing, being healthy all of that is very important to optimize in regardless of the age and the older they get, the more crucial that is.
