Couples should plan pregnancies when chances of conception are highest, they are in good health and are more likely to deliver a healthy baby. The optimal biological decade for conception is debatably between 25 and 35 years.

This optimal time of conception is dictated by the fact that women are born with a finite, genetically determined number of eggs in their ovaries. The pool of eggs is highest at birth amounting to about 2 million.
