Check if Egg Freezing is for you
Global fertility rates are in historic decline.
In the 1960s, women had an average of 5 children.
In 1990, it dropped to 3.3. And in 2024, it's just 2.2 births per woman, barely above the "replacement level" of 2.1 needed to sustain population levels.
Projections show it will dip below 2.1 by 2050, reaching 1.8 by 2100.

Why This Matters (Especially if You're 27+ and Unsure About Kids)
- Fertility rates below 2.1 are becoming the global norm, even in countries like the U.S., India, Brazil, and China.
- In more than 1 in 10 countries, fertility has dropped below 1.4 levels associated with rapid population decline.
- The average age at childbirth is rising: In 1994, most women had children before 30. Today, over two-thirds of low-fertility countries have a mean age above 30, and many above 32.
📉 The Biological Clock Is Real And It's Global
Egg quantity and quality decline with age. But it's not just about biology, the global trend is:
- More delays in family planning
- More women not having kids at all, often unintentionally
- More regret later when fertility preservation was an option but wasn't explored
In fact, the global number of births peaked in 2012 (at 146 million) and is expected to fall to 111 million by 2100, even though the number of women in reproductive age is currently at its highest.
