[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP don't listen to the fear mongers. One year isn't going to suddenly leave you barren and you already have frozen embryos so there's even less reason to rush to have a child you're not quite ready for. Enjoy being a fabulous independent 35 yr old and then move on to being a fabulous pregnant 36 yr old. Don't ever have a child out of fear.[/quote]

But why do they have frozen embryos? Are they facing fertility issues? Even if it's on the man's side it could affect the success of a pregnancy.[/quote]

She said they created the embryos a few years ago while going through some medical stuff. [/quote]
Anything can affect the success of a pregnancy, but pregnancy is really only the first step. I can understand why some women feel like it is THE goal (I myself spent some months TTC and all I wanted to be pregnant already!), but if you're not in the frame of mind where you're prepared for the sacrifices that come with parenthood, I don't think it's worth it to push on through because you still have to do all the hard work of actually raising that child that you rushed to conceive.

I went from adamantly not wanting kids at 33 to being baby crazy by 35 and my age had nothing to do with it. I was just ready. I had done most of my travel, squandered my money on whatever the heck I wanted, been in love, single, spoiled my nephews and nieces (then happily handing them back over to their parents), and then eventually just said ok, now it's my turn. I think OP needs to wait until she has that settled, excited, ready feeling inside of her.[/quote]
