Infertility statistics are not fun numbers to look at:

One in seven couples worldwide are infertile.

However, a closer look at this number reveals an interesting statistic. While 75% of that infertility can be explained by issues such as low sperm count, poor quality sperm, tubal blockages, lack of ovulation - the other 25% is most likely related to the late age at which many women decide to get pregnant.  A woman who waits until her late 30s or early 40s to start a family is playing a very difficult game. At this point, fertility is dramatically reduced. This is why new technologies such as long-term ovarian tissue storage should be consider by any couple planning to start a family past age 35.

Xytex is one of the few companies that has the capacity for long-term storage.  To start reading up on more reasons to plan for a fertile future, check out this article from the United Kingdom:
