Because birth control is unpleasant and I'd rather take my extremely low chances of having another kid versus any kind of contraceptive.

Why aren't you smart enough to understand that we all have our reasons, OP?

It's not that OP isn't smart enough to understand the reasons, it's that there has been thread after thread these past few months of women in their 40s posting that they weren't using birth control and might be pregnant, don't want to be pregnant, aren't sure if they want to be pregnant, don't know what to do.  Reading about women in their 40s who just neglected to use birth control and are now terminating a pregnancy because they didn't think they could get pregnant at 41 (42, 43, etc.) and already have enough kids is mind-boggling and irritating.  I guess I expect better of women in this area.

To the PP who said it couldn't happen to her at 48 . . . yes, the chances are very slim but there was a long thread on pregnancies in the late 40s not that long ago.  My own grandmother got pregnant naturally at 47 in what had to have been a one-shot deal.  [/quote]

I agree that it's weird that some women don't seem to realize that they can get pregnant in their early 40's.

I'm 48 and had my tubes tied so I think it's safe to take my chances.  [/quote]

Indeed!  Enjoy getting busy![/quote]
