[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Married long term partner at 39, first child at 41, second child at 42. No intervention other than having my IUD removed. I know there are lots of people struggling with fertility challenges, but I think some of the doom and gloom about older parents is overstated. (I know that's not exactly the scenario OP asked about, but just to counter some of the PPs.)[/quote] So because you were able to get pregnant unassisted in your early forties, you believe that the actual data around conception rates and fertility by age is incorrect. Your arrogance coupled with your poor critical thinking skills don’t help here. [/quote] The data surrounding conception rates is largely not great and some of it is extremely dated. After 40 is a dropoff, but may not be nearly as dire as it is made out to be.
