She just bought into the standard hype that all ambitious women in their 20's/ 30's believe ("oh, I can have kids anytime; this will never end, I'll be young forever) and ... surprise! [/quote]

The uterine lining thins and blood supply to it decreases with age, making it more difficult for the egg to implant.[/i][/quote]
