What is the percentage of infertile couples in different age groups?

Infertility is a hidden struggle for many couples all over the world. This is one such stressful condition that affects men and women of all age groups. Age has been an important factor in determining the cause of infertility in a couple. The risk of infertility increases with age.
A woman is born with around 1 million egg cells. By the time she hits puberty, it reduces to approximately 300,000. Studies have found that a woman in her fertile years tends to lose around a thousand eggs per month. Her fertility takes a steep decline especially after the age of 35.
While in men, the quality of sperm seems to decrease with age. Research says that majority of men above the age of 40 find it difficult to conceive a child due to lack of healthy sperms.
