Short period, no babies?

I think you should save your bitchiness, because a woman thinking about her fertility at age 18 is much more biologically normal than a woman waking up at 34 for the first time and deciding all of a sudden that it is time to have kids. It works out for many in the latter group, but very often the latter can be a painful road to walk.

Sounds like you are just about as bitchy as the person you are quoting.

Sorry you took it that way. I find it interesting that you basically assume that I've had no trouble conceiving!

Im just pointing out that there are certain biological realities for all of us women and that it is both smart and natural to think about these things sooner on in the game. I know I wish I had.

There's nothing wrong with an 18 year old thinking about her fertility. It isn't like she is TTC, she just want to be assured that her body works okay. Don't we all want that when it comes to this issue?

Either way, it's a great thing that an 18 y/o is thinking about her body and asking questions.

Its fine for an 18year old to think about these things but so much can change so quickly in even just a years time that its almost pointless unless she actually has a problem to address now. My periods at age 12 were way worse than at 25. Again more changes 25-30, changes on various birth control pills, ovarian cysts in my 30s, not meeting my husband until late 30s and then actually going through IVF at 37 to conceive (never mind having an abortion at 27 from sec ONE time with guy). hormones, life, lifestyle, meds, age, male factor are all much bigger and fluid indicators of fertility. you just don't know until you are in that situation of trying to get pregnant.
