[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Twins wouldn't surprise me at all. She's what 36? Got preggers right away and doesn't have a lot of time left to have more. Probably IVF.[/quote]

She’s 37, not 47. I had my kids at 36 and 38, no IVF involved - didn’t realize I was “running out of time”. Most of my friends here in DC had kids in their mid to late thirties with no issues. Why are people so amazed she got pregnant so fast? At 38 I got pregnant the second month of trying. [/quote]

Well data aren't based on how you and your friends got pregnant.[b] The data say that fertility decreases precipitously after age 35[/b] so most women are indeed running out of time if they haven't had their first child by 35. Odds are she had some assistance and if she has twins I'd double down on that bet. [/quote]

No, the data do not say that.  The data say that a 35 year old has an 80% chance of getting pregnant in a year.  The decline starts to happen around 40 (although if you've already had a healthy baby at 35, again, the odds are in your favor to have another in your early 40s if you try for a year.

Now, what I WILL say, is that the years from 30-35 and 35-40 can go very quickly if you're having fun, so women who are 30 SHOULD start thinking seriously about their dating goals; and women who are 35 should start thinking VERY seriously about their dating goals and single motherhood if they're interested.  I hate to see my girlfriend in her mid-30s still wasting her time on pointless relationships ...
