Men experience their own version of the biological clock with paternal age – especially over 45 – linked to higher rates of miscarriage, conception difficulties and more cycles of IVF.
The Melbourne IVF, Royal Women’s Hospital and Melbourne University study will show that clinical pregnancy rates were 39 per cent for men under 40. This fell to 26 per cent for men over 40. Only men whose female partners were under 35 were selected for the research, collected over four years, to rule out any influence from advanced maternal age.

Reasons being considered included lifestyle habits, environmental factors, diet and alcohol consumption.
Professor Rob McLachlan, of Monash IVF and director of Andrology Australia, said 1000 men on IVF programs and 1000 other men were being recruited from all states for the Australian Male Infertility Exposure study, with which he is involved, which would investigate risk factors for male infertility and the impact of environmental and lifestyle factors on IVF success.
