[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just so sick of people encountering infertility in their late 30s and 40s with SURPRISE. This should not be a surprise to ANYONE. Or then complaining about the cost of fertility treatments.

It just seems the absolute height of hubris. That you, and your body, are somehow immune to basic biological processes, that your fertility should wait on YOU and your timeline.[/quote]

Wow, you are unhinged. I know too many women who got pregnant easily past 35. [/quote]

You can get pregnant after 35 but the eggs are older and fewer and more prone to genetic abnormalities.   Once women get to their mid-thirties fertility quickly starts to decline.  Women need to know the facts before they make decisions.   [/quote]

Ironic that given the title of this thread is about male  infertility but once again framing the decline in birth rate solely in women. Or believing that women are these ignorant bints who need to be educated about fertility decline. Believe me, most women know. It's not that esoteric. Understanding that men's sperm declines, that miscarriages can be caused by some issues is not discussed as much.

Add to the fact that infant mortality— meaning actual babies dying— is higher among parents in their very fertile 20s and it just might appear that your problem is with women.[/quote]
