[quote=Anonymous]Yes, fertility declines over time, but there is not some flip of a switch at 35. I belong to a demographic where large families are common, and I see women over 40 having babies all the time. The difference is that the stakes are a lot higher for someone who is contemplating their first baby at 40, than for someone who is contemplating their 6th or 7th. For the former, a 20% chance of failure to conceive is probably unacceptably high. For the latter, it's usually not such a big deal.[/quote]
