what is reproductive health?

Concerns over reproductive health shift for most women from infertility to contraception as we get older and then relief as we pass through menopause and never have to worry about it again! Of course for some women, hopes for children were never realised and the cessation of periods brings sadness.

Most pregnancies over 40 are unplanned. When you are perimenopausal, there will still be cycles where you will ovulate and can fall pregnant, but you won’t know which ones and when they occur!
