Of course I am not certain if these numbers are completely accurate but I found them to be a bit frightening. They can be found in the below article.

A 30 year old woman has a 22% chance of getting pregnant in any given month.
A 35 year old woman has a 18% chance of getting pregnant in any given month.
A 40 year old woman has a 5% chance of getting pregnant in any given month.
A 45 year old woman has a 1% chance of getting pregnant in any given month.
A woman has lost 80% of her "egg supply" by the time she reaches the age of 25.
A woman has lost 95% of her "egg supply" by the time she reaches the age of 35.
So this is why I hear that stupid clock ticking in my ear all the time.
