My grandmother had three children in her 40s. And this was in the 40s and 50s. My MIL had a child at 37. It's possible. |
Ok sure but marriage is overwhelmingly about starting families and ivf is not a miracle it still is a low chance |
It's possible to win the lottery it's probable not to |
|
| As a doctor and medical professional we need to stop the false hope about natural and ivf pregnancy over 35. It's a disservice to our young women |
You are an absolute freak. |
Actually, pregnancy in one’s 30s is very probable. DH & I learned that the hard way! |
“Our”? Do you own us? |
If PP were from a previous century he’d know having kids in your 40s is incredibly common. How do you think all those women had 12 kids? |
| I understand that every person and their situations are unique so there is no one size fits all formula. I only wanted an anthropological discussion of the pros and cons behind it as I hear it all the time from people of different cultures and geography. |
| Better to struggle TTC than to settle down too early with a mediocre man. |
I wish you weren’t full of crap. When I had my 3rd kid over 35 I thought I’d score some special treatment in pregnancy. Nope. They told me they actually wouldn’t do any different interventions until over 40. I wanted an elective induction before 40 weeks but they made me go to 41 weeks. Because there is nothing to worry about at all between 35 and 40 according to them. |
I wish people would stop throwing this out as if that wasn’t grandma’s 3rd-12th child not her first in her forties. There is a huge difference between already proven fertility in years post 35 within strict monogamy from never-been-pregnant-before post 35 and years of multiple sexual partners. It’s not only incredibly cavalier to advise young women to wait so late on purpose, it’s also callous to those of us in the devastation of infertility. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. |
