Men often think that their age doesn’t matter when it comes to bearing a child, and that the biological clock is only important for the mother-to-be. However, sperm count and quality decline as you age. From a biological standpoint, experts recommend that a man in his late 20s to early 30s is best suited for parenthood.
It is still possible for men to father a child at age 50 and older. According to Guinness World Records, the oldest person to father a child was 92 years old at birth. Still, researchers have found that a man’s age can affect a couple’s chances of getting pregnant. Men over the age of 40 are less likely to have success.
