[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So if you both make $50k and you’re in your mid-30s, I guess people think you need advice? I tried to type that in a less snarky way but that’s the heart of it. People think you don’t have your life together, even if you think you do. I’m sorry people keep talking about your fertility, though. It’s so rude and intrusive, no matter the circumstance. [/quote]

This. Also.... I know several women that just waited until your age but acted shocked when they had problems conceiving and majorly played the victim about having to do IVF etc. I feel badly for them of course but at the same time, these were people who were married for years and chose to wait until they deemed it to be the perfect time for children. Which of course is everyone's right, but so naive to think you'll have an easy time despite the statistics otherwise. Now OP you don't seem to be in this camp but if someone was close to you I could see why they might mention it. Some people seem genuinely ignorant about the realities of conceiving. I guess maybe these 45 yo celebrities give people crazy ideas.[/quote]
