Ignore Al Pacino – experts tell career-focused men to try for a family by 35<\/h1>\n

• \u00a0Experts say ignoring the biological clock is a problem for men as well as women<\/strong><\/li>\n
• \u00a0Men are more likely to put off fatherhood because of their career and finances<\/strong><\/li>\n
• \u00a0Poorer sperm quality after the age of 40 can raise the risk of a miscarriage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Career-focused men have been warned they are almost as much at risk as women if they leave it too late to start a family.<\/p>\n

  Despite Al Pacino, 83, and Robert De Niro, 80, becoming dads again, fertility experts advise men to start trying for a baby by 35.<\/p>\n

  ‘We always hear about career women ignoring ticking biological clocks but this is just as much a problem in men,’ said Prof Allan Pacey of Manchester University, co-author of a new study.<\/p>\n

  ‘Men are not committing to becoming fathers because they aren’t ready to get off the work treadmill, or think they need to earn a certain amount of money.<\/p>\n

  ‘Men’s careers are also stopping them from putting enough time into having sex frequently, making it less likely they will get their partner pregnant.’<\/p>\n

  Never too late: Al Pacino, 83 had a son, Roman, with girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, in June<\/p>\n

  The study, in the journal Nature Reviews Urology, warns men who start trying for a baby after 40 that their poorer sperm quality can raise the risk of miscarriage.<\/p>\n

  If they are over 50, their babies are at a higher risk of autism and schizophrenia.<\/p>\n

  Pacino had a son, Roman, with girlfriend Noor Alfallah, 29, in June and De Niro had a daughter, Gia, with his girlfriend Tiffany Chen, 45, in April.<\/p>\n
