[quote=Anonymous]I try to control my urge to tell this to younger women (co-workers) because I don't think they would change their minds and are likely to consider me a loser. Since I don't want pity, I need to succeed in having all children I want by age, say, 43, to get more comfortable proselytizing. But I do feel a strong urge to share this with people close to me - my niece and, especially, DD. Unlike some others here, I am not sure that young women are aware of just how rapidly fertility declines. All l I knew in my early thirties was that Down syndrome was more likely as women ages. I relied, instead and without much reflection, on my mother and grandmother giving births late in their lives and I assumed I could have children at 45. I didn't have any problems conceiving first time around, but now that I am about to begin TTC #2 I certainly don't take anything for granted.[/quote]
