Pregnancy Alert in EMR

Currently this alert in our system is set at 65 years of age so anytime a Category X medication is prescribed an alert fires. Short of turning the alert off completely and assuming that the Pregnancy Status is consistently updated in the EMR, what is your organization doing to ensure these alerts fire more appropriately? Did you set an age range? Other ideas? Thank you!
