Plenty of childless women didn't want children. And for those who did, sure, it's disappointing and sad, but life goes on. I wanted kids but didn't have them. I was sad about it, I grieved, but no, it's not devastating.

Mmmmyeah wait until you’re old gray and alone. Let us know how that feels when nobody that actually loves you is there to take care of you, buffoon

If a sizable number of women were turning 40 without any kids, that might be a more significant statistic.

How many of your friends needed IVF, how many had complicated pregnancies, and how many of the kids have health issues to this day?

I am the PP. None of my friends had pregnancy complications or children with health issues; one used IVF because her husband was sterile due to cancer. Pregnancies were generally between ages of 30 and 36. Is this unusual? Seemed very much the norm in my cohort.

I simply cannot believe that’s true for most of them. Hence, my comments stand.
