Norwegian term or phrase: fruktbar alder
I know the meaning -- need something succinct here. My source also uses "befruktningsdyktig alder" as well. Ideally, I'd like to be able to use distinct terms for these in English. I've posted a corollary question for that term as well.

disagree  Per Bergvall: Fertility is right, but there is an 'age of' missing in front of it.
