A study by the National Center for Health Statistics confirmed that infertility rates are not going up, contrary to the popular belief.
The lowered rates of infertility are not also because of the existence of fertility treatments, a source told Telegraph.
Louisa Peacock wrote that women all over the world are constantly told that the older you get, the more difficult it would be to conceive.
But she confirmed that this well-known fact is not a fact after all.
This new study found that although some women delay marriage and pregnancy, infertility rates have already changed a lot in the last 20 years.
This means that the popular belief about women's 'ticking clock' is absolutely false, a source told Telegraph.
Dr. Anjani Chandra, a researcher at the NCHS told NBC News that infertility rates have gone down a little bit which always catches people by surprise because they think that the rates are increasing.
The percentage of adults between 15 and 44 or those who can already give birth receiving fertility treatments have also gone down from 7.1% in 2002 to 6.5% between 2006 and 2010.
The researchers of the study interviewed 22,000 people.
