I'm 34. My max is 39 and 40 is really pushing it. I agree advanced parternal age is partially the reason i don't date anyone in the 40's plus the generational difference. I want to go out to a bar or lounge and he probably wants stay home all day and do nothing. I want kids with a young man around my age and not someone closer to retirement.

Honey ,you're 34 ,(only 6 years from 40) you aren't that young yourself. Instead of drinking your time away at the lounge you might want to settle down with one of your young men and have the kids you want.

Go away misogynist troll. No one cares what you have to say. Run along

Eh, she's not wrong. You're advanced maternal age at 35. Thirty-five.

Nope, 40, actually.

Wrong. I had my first at 29, my second at 32, and my third at 35, and my fourth at 38. I was coded AMA at 35. 35 is AMA.

And there was an excellent story several years ago about how women are being fooled into believing you can hold off on having a baby until your 40s...but it's not true. You don't realize how many couples require medical intervention to have a baby in their mid to late 30s and certainly 40s.

Don't try to help her. She wants to spend her time drinking in lounges. Let her be 43 on her 9th round of IVF wondering where she went wrong.

You sound hilariously angry. Did you have a hard time getting pregnant or something? Sucks to suck.

No I didn't fritter away my fertility in my 30s still partying like I was 21. I knew I wanted marriage and a family so I made those things happen before 34. I do have a number of female friends who bought into the 40 is the new 20 narrative and are now either childless or struggling majorly with infertility, buy ymmv.

Ohhhhhh. So you're bitter because you got knocked up young and didn't get to truly lead your life. And it pisses you off that all the recent studies say that women's fertility doesn't really go into decline until 40.

I get it now. I would be upset too.

It's funny seeing woman defend their choice to continue their adolescent behavior using articles from years ago.

And there was an excellent story several years ago about how women are being fooled into believing you can hold off on having a baby until your 40s...but it's not true. You don't realize how many couples require medical intervention to have a baby in their mid to late 30s and certainly 40s.

Hmmmm. I think I'll go with the fairly well researched Atlantic article rather than your anecdotal experience. Perhaps you just have bad eggs?

?

My eggs were fine. I easily got pregnant without intervention.

AMA is a medical label that every pregnant women receives from her OB if she is 35 or will be 35 at delivery, Dumbass.

Okay.... so I have no idea what your statement has to do with anything then. You had no issues getting pregnant at 35, without intervention. Which is exactly what the article states...

Do you have reading comprehension issues? A learning disability?

I was rather lucky to easily get pregnant and end up with neuro typical healthy children. But the research shows that I had an edge since I had my first baby before age 30 and since my husband is not elderly.

Google risks related to AMA...and keep in mind that AMA is 35 (not 40 like you erroneously believe).

Also Google motility issues in men along with risks associated with advanced PATERNAL age. Scary stuff.

New poster, yes AMA is 35 but so what? It's not the harbinger of bad things that some would have you believe, basically you get more testing and monitoring. It doesn't take away from any of the points the Atlantic article makes.

Here's my .02, there are no guarantees in life. When we married I was 30 and he was 44. We've had 14 great years, and both of us for now at least are healthy and fit. No reason to think we both won't live another few decades. At the same time, there is nothing to say that tomorrow I won't be stricken with cancer, or he won't drop dead of a heart attack or any other unforeseen horrible thing.

Knowing the odds are that he will die well before you, barring a major life event, do you want 30-40 loving years together? With the divorce rate in this country, not many people get that.

The big key, of course, is children. Be very clear together on your expectations and desires. Have a good financial advisor in terms of ensuring that life insurance, long-term care insurance and other elements are in place. Long-term care was the biggie for us.

Good luck.

OP here - thanks there is good advice here. While the age gap does present possible problems I shouldn't let it get in the way of first answering the bigger question "Is this the right man for me?" And am I the right woman for him? If he is the "one" then the age issue might fade away.

The only one who is obsessed with "hanging out at lounges" (What kind of lounges are these? Like airport business class lounges? Sounds fun!) is you. Perhaps because you were a child bride and missed out on normal 20 something behavior. Like I said, sucks to suck.

The idiot who posted the Atlantic article initially did so in an attempt to prove that AMA isn't 35. He/she (I'm guessing he) was wrong. He then came back and tried to spin it another way: yeah? So? You can still get pregnant after 35!

Nobody said you can't get pregnant after 35. We just know that it isn't as easy, many will need medical intervention, and your odds of complications---during pregnancy, delivery and beyond---increase with age. And, there are risks associated with advanced paternal age as well as maternal age (many people don't realize that).

To be honest, your life sounds really boring and frankly undesirable. Your best years, and your time at lounges, are long gone.

Oh well. At least you have retirement to look forward to one day. Maybe then you won't be so resentful of younger women who choose a different life path.

Sucks to suck.

I'm 34. My max is 39 and 40 is really pushing it. I agree advanced parternal age is partially the reason i don't date anyone in the 40's plus the generational difference. I want to go out to a bar or lounge and he probably wants stay home all day and do nothing. I want kids with a young man around my age and not someone closer to retirement.

Honey ,you're 34 ,(only 6 years from 40) you aren't that young yourself. Instead of drinking your time away at the lounge you might want to settle down with one of your young men and have the kids you want.

Go away misogynist troll. No one cares what you have to say. Run along

Eh, she's not wrong. You're advanced maternal age at 35. Thirty-five.

Nope, 40, actually.

Wrong. I had my first at 29, my second at 32, and my third at 35, and my fourth at 38. I was coded AMA at 35. 35 is AMA.

And there was an excellent story several years ago about how women are being fooled into believing you can hold off on having a baby until your 40s...but it's not true. You don't realize how many couples require medical intervention to have a baby in their mid to late 30s and certainly 40s.

Hmmmm. I think I'll go with the fairly well researched Atlantic article rather than your anecdotal experience. Perhaps you just have bad eggs?

?

My eggs were fine. I easily got pregnant without intervention.

AMA is a medical label that every pregnant women receives from her OB if she is 35 or will be 35 at delivery, Dumbass.

Okay.... so I have no idea what your statement has to do with anything then. You had no issues getting pregnant at 35, without intervention. Which is exactly what the article states...

Do you have reading comprehension issues? A learning disability?

I was rather lucky to easily get pregnant and end up with neuro typical healthy children. But the research shows that I had an edge since I had my first baby before age 30 and since my husband is not elderly.

Google risks related to AMA...and keep in mind that AMA is 35 (not 40 like you erroneously believe).

Also Google motility issues in men along with risks associated with advanced PATERNAL age. Scary stuff.

New poster, yes AMA is 35 but so what? It's not the harbinger of bad things that some would have you believe, basically you get more testing and monitoring. It doesn't take away from any of the points the Atlantic article makes.

The idiot who posted the Atlantic article initially did so in an attempt to prove that AMA isn't 35. He/she (I'm guessing he) was wrong. He then came back and tried to spin it another way: yeah? So? You can still get pregnant after 35!

Nobody said you can't get pregnant after 35. We just know that it isn't as easy, many will need medical intervention, and your odds of complications---during pregnancy, delivery and beyond---increase with age. And, there are risks associated with advanced paternal age as well as maternal age (many people don't realize that).

Laughable. The PP never mentioned AMA, and didn't even seem to know what it meant.

Next time you try to lie, make sure the receipts aren't easily visible.
