The Story of Fertility
Description
As she approaches her 40s, recently married presenter Alex Jones goes on a very personal journey: to discover the truth about a topic that affects countless women. This film tackles many common myths, explaining how the so-called "fertility cliff" at age 35 is based on statistics from 1700s France and revealing how the average maternal age in the U.K. recently hit 30 for the first time since records began. There are also some uncomfortable truths to confront, as Alex learns she faces a hugely increased risk of miscarrying or giving birth to a child with Down syndrome. Featuring extraordinary people who share their poignant stories, The Story about Fertility profiles the pioneering treatments that are making many couples’ dream of parenthood come true.
