[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Chances are, her husband wanted kids badly and she was ambivalent. This was the compromise they reached. Good for them.[/quote]

Or she's too damn old and couldn't have kids and didn't even have viable eggs. Wasted 20 years of her life to be a reality TV has-been and D list actress instead of having babies naturally, at an age her body could have easily bounced back from.[/quote]

I usually think that’s harsh but Chung is 39 and Asians have documented studies showing it’s harder for them to conceive as their fertile eggs are in shorter supply. [/quote]

All of my Korean friends who had babies in their 20s bounced back immediately and are still skinny and adorable and still get carded for wine.[/quote]

What does that have to do with their egg supply? Nothing. You have to rush to pop out babies early if your fertility rates are super pitiful post 29.

[i]Asian American women have 33% lower successful pregnancy rates after IVF treatment compared to Caucasian women⁵. Multiple studies have affirmed the need for further research to better understand why.

Studies have found lower pregnancy rates, both with and without fertility treatments, among Asian women compared to their Caucasian counterparts without clear causes[/i]

Um most Asian American women I know had babies in their mid-30s. I’m not questioning the study, but very few educated women in big cities have in their 20s.[/quote]

^^^^^

And that is the real issue.

American women were sold a lie that they could have it all. The reality is you are likely to struggle with fertility if you wait until your 40s to have a baby. You are more fertile in your 20s. You also have a better chance of landing a good husband in your 20s.

There was an excellent npr segment a million years ago on the topic. It not only focused on fertility, but on the economics of marrying and having babies after college. The study focused on women staying home for several years after college to have kids before seriously entering the workforce. [/quote]

Meh. I landed a great husband in my 30s. He’s a million times better than the men I knew in my 20s. 20-something men are usually losers and kind of gross. Got pregnant with both kids literally on the first try.

I would have been miserable if I had stayed with my college boyfriend and had kids with him. Good guy, not the right one for me.

You sound very unhappy with your choice. Happy people don’t try to force everyone else to make the same choices as them. How’s your marriage? [/quote]
