[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm just so sick of people encountering infertility in their late 30s and 40s with SURPRISE. This should not be a surprise to ANYONE. Or then complaining about the cost of fertility treatments.

It just seems the absolute height of hubris. That you, and your body, are somehow immune to basic biological processes, that your fertility should wait on YOU and your timeline.[/quote]

Wow, you are unhinged. I know too many women who got pregnant easily past 35. [/quote]

You can get pregnant after 35 but the eggs are older and fewer and more prone to genetic abnormalities.   Once women get to their mid-thirties fertility quickly starts to decline.  Women need to know the facts before they make decisions.   [/quote]

You'd have to be loving under a rock to not know this fact. Women are beaten over the head with this message. [/quote]

Right. clearly a man wrote the comment you responded to. As women, we know this because it’s been told to us literally constantly.  But also, the original comment that man responded to was just saying they know tons of women that got pregnant after 35…which is also the case. Actually in this area I know more people who had babies after 35 than I do before 35. I had a baby before and after-both fine and both were conceived easily. [/quote]

Worse are the responders who say “I did it with no problem or all I know is older women who got pregnant.”  That doesn’t change the facts that fertility rates drop drastically around 35 years old and the eggs have a higher percent of defects the older they are.  Every women should know this going into adulthood so she can make informed decisions.   [/quote]

Did you know that the data you're relying on is from France in the 1800s?[/quote]
