[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I think it is related to age because many of the people I'm talking about are bragging precisely because everyone around told them it would be so hard to get pregnant at their age and it wasn't for them. You know how people can be about older women who focused on building their careers for a long time. So now they're all, haha, joke's on you.

On the one hand, I envy and admire them. I just wish I could be in the same group. I'm in the 95% it IS hard for.[/quote]

I don't think it's hard for 95% of 38 year olds to get pregnant on their own.  It probably just feels like that because you're in the percentage it's hard for.  I know.  Been there.

Anyone who is bragging about getting pregnant easily in late 30s to another woman in their late 30s (who for all they know, may also be trying to get pregnant) is a pretty big dolt and clueless.  So now they've shown you who they are.  You can maybe envy their fertility, but not their personality.[/quote]
+1 to the second PP. There are several large studies showing that about 80% of women in that age group will get pregnant on their own within a year of trying. So, most of them. But those whom would brag about it-something over which they have no control-are obtuse beyond belief.[/quote]
