 More talk about infertility may make it seem like it's on the rise, researcher says 
  
 Women over age 35 may not wait a year to seek medical treatment 
  
 Are fertility problems the inevitable fallout of the USA's older marriage ages? No, suggest new federal data released Wednesday that show infertility has actually declined. 
  
 "When you look at this downward trend, it goes against the popular wisdom of people we all know," says the report's lead author, Anjani Chandra, a health scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics. 
  
 Data show the percentage of married women ages 15-44 who were infertile fell from 8.5% in 1982 to 6% from 2006 to 2010. The actual numbers represent a drop from 2.4 million women to 1.5 million. For unmarried women living with a male partner, the new data show 4.9% as infertile. 
  
 Today's median age at first marriage is the highest ever: 26.6 for women and 28.6 for men, according to 2012 data from the U.S. Census. 
  
 Infertility, according to the agency's definition, is "lack of pregnancy in the 12 months prior to the survey, despite having had unprotected sexual intercourse in each of those months with the same husband or partner." 
  
 "People seem to think it's going up, when the fact is that it's remarkably stable, despite the preponderance of medical services," Chandra says. "The level of infertility is being counteracted by their pursuit of medical help to have a child. Both together are bringing down the percentage we see as infertile when we do our survey." 
  
 The report is based on 22,682 face-to-face interviews, including 12,279 women and 10,403 men.

 Another measure called "impaired fecundity" is "physical difficulty in either getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to live birth." For married women of those ages, impaired fecundity was 12% in the latest data. 
  
 Physician Richard Reindollar, president-elect of the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, says his organization finds the new data encouraging. 
  
 "Even though the ages at which women in the United States have their children have been increasing since 1995, the percentage of the population suffering from infertility or impaired fecundity has not increased," says Reindollar, of Dartmouth College in Hanover, N.H. 
  
 Rafat Abbasi, a reproductive endocrinology physician in Bethesda, Md., says the time period in which the survey was conducted may well play a role in the data's recent stability. 
  
 "People were getting older — beyond the scope of fertility treatments," she says. "And the second thing is the economic recession, when a lot of people couldn't afford to do these treatments. I don't think it was due to more fertile people being around. It's more a factor of these coexisting conditions." 
  
 Both Abbasi and Chandra say the definition of infertility may affect the data. Chandra speculates that some — such as a woman over 35 — may not wait 12 months for medical intervention, which means she wouldn't meet the report's definition for being infertile. 
  
 However, Barbara Collura, executive director of RESOLVE: The National Infertility Association, a non-profit based in McLean, Va., says she doesn't think people are seeking help sooner. "I'm very frustrated that people wait too long to see a specialist. I hear it anecdotally over and over." 
  
 Chandra says the single most important factor associated with fertility problems is the age at which a woman tries to have her first child. The drop from 44% to 27% for infertility from 1982 to 2006-10 for women ages 35-44 is due to both the likelihood of medical treatment as well as the smaller pool of people trying to become pregnant at those ages, she says. 
  
 Collura says it's unclear what to make of the new federal data. 
  
 "We have more people seeking our services and being part of our community than ever before," she says. "Does that mean there are more people with infertility? Not necessarily." 
  
 A barrier to treatment is cost, she says, citing an online survey her organization conducted last month of 1,694 individuals. The not-yet-released data show that 60% of respondents have little to no insurance coverage for infertility treatment. 
  
 In addition to testing, which can cost up to $1,500, infertility treatments can cost $13,000 to $15,000 per treatment, Abbasi says.

 Anjani Chandra, PhD, from the National Center for Health Statistics, Hyattsville, Maryland, and colleagues present their findings in a report published online August 14 in National Health Statistics Reports. 
  
 In the study, the researchers used data from the NSFG, which was conducted from June 2006 to June 2010, to assess rates of infertility and impaired fecundity in US adults. They compared those data with past NSFG data. 
  
 The surveys indicate that the percentage of married women between 15 and 44 years of age who were infertile, defined as an inability to become pregnant for at least 12 months despite having unprotected sex with the same husband or partner in each of those months, declined from 8.5% in 1982 to 6.0% in 2010. 
  
 Conversely, impaired fecundity, defined as physical difficulty in becoming pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to live birth, increased from 10.8% in 1982 to 12.9% in 1995, and peaking at 15.1% in 2002 before falling to 12.1% in 2006-2010. 
  
 Age appears to be a factor in infertility for women. The investigators found that 7.0% of women between 15 and 24 years of age had impaired fecundity compared with 13% of women aged 25 to 44 years. Among nulliparous women, 14% of the women aged 25 to 29 years were infertile or subfertile, whereas 30% of those aged 40 to 44 years were. 
  
 Infertility did not appear to be associated with education or income level, although a higher education level and greater income appeared to be linked with lower levels of surgical infertility. (Presumed fecund included those individuals who did not fit into the subfertile, surgically sterile, or nonsurgically sterile groups.) 
  
 In addition, 63.9% of women with at least a Master's degree were presumed fecund compared with 35.3% of women with no high school diploma or equivalent. 
  
 A greater percentage of Asian women (74.6%) were presumed to be fertile compared with other ethnicities (49.1% - 52.6%). 
  
 In multivariate analysis adjusted for demographic variables such as income and education, an age of 40 to 44 years among nulliparous women was significantly associated with both impaired fecundity (odds ratio [OR], 3.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.26 - 5.36) and 12-month infertility (OR, 12.61; 95% CI, 6.19 - 25.71) compared with parous women age of 22 to 29 years. 
  
 Regarding fertility intentions, 59% of nulliparous women with impaired fecundity intended to have children compared with 39% of parous women. In addition, 64% of married nulliparous women with 12-month infertility planned to conceive vs 53% of parous, married infertile women. 
  
 Among men aged 15 to 44 years, fertility rates were similar between 2002 (73.8%) and 2006-2010 (76.7%). However, infertility, particularly surgical sterilization, was more common among men aged 40 to 44 years than among their younger counterparts.

Output:
Good news for women planning to have a baby later in life: Infertility is actually on the decline, even as average marriage ages climb. A new report shows that of married women, aged 15 to 44, just 6% are infertile, down 2.5% since 1982. For women 35 to 44, the number is quite a bit higher at 27%, but that still marks a drastic change from 44% in 1982, Medscape reports. So what's behind the downward trend? Fertility treatment and fewer women trying to get pregnant later, researchers say. "The level of infertility is being counteracted by their pursuit of medical help to have a child," the study lead told USA Today. "Both together are bringing down the percentage we see as infertile when we do our survey." But while infertility may be headed downward, the report, which interviewed 22,682 men and women, noted the number of those who have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term rose almost 5% from 10.8% to 15% in 2002—though the newest data shows it settled at about 12%.
