[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got permanent birth control after I had my last child at 36.

Are people really that open to having oops babies? I just couldn't imagine starting over again at, say, 45.[/quote]

Always my question on these threads, too.  I'm sure people will jump all over you (us) as they do in all the unplanned pregnancy threads, but the bottom line is many people just aren't that careful, especially once they move into their 40s.  I also know at least 3 women who got pregnant after using ART for earlier pregnancies, thinking they could never get pregnant on their own (IMO doctors need to be more clear about this with women!)[/quote]

Yes. Everyone goes overboard, as they're attempting to scare younger women who haven't started families, insisting that it's nearly impossible to get pregnant in your forties. Meanwhile, your ovulations get a lot more unpredictable. So people who were always careful and had had no pregnancy scares for 15 years find themselves relaxing a little on the birth control.
