[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact is that chances are very high that women in their early and mid 30s (and often late 30s) will have no trouble having kids.  I'm a PP who had trouble at 33.  I think sounding the alarm bell for all women in this age group isn't the right answer either.  It's fear-based decision making.

All you can do is try to have kids when you're in a position to do so and that is an incredibly personal decision.  One would only look back and regret this decision if you're in the unfortunate minority that have issues.

I think the alarm bell should be sounded. More blood work testing for AMH levels and such would be great and should be given to women at 30+. Just so they can make their own informed decisions. I met DH at 21 and married at 25. We waited thinking we'd have more money and maybe even maternity leave by the time we had kids. Little did we know we'd blow all the money on ART and we still wouldn't have maternity leave. Women have no clue about their fertility or about how many people are actually doing ART. All they hear about are friends that got pregnant the first time they tried at 37. [/quote]
