[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's because of fertility [b]but I think that perception is changing rapidly[/b] due to the recent studies on health risks to babies when fathers are older.  The view before was that men can have kids when they're in their 40s but now people are scared of autism, etc. so male and female fertility is evening out.[/quote]
That doesn't change the perception at all.  Women in their 30s will still have trouble conceiving regardless of the age of the man.[/quote]

Not true. At all. Women have been having babies until their late 30s for 100 years. My grandmother was conceived when her mother was 42. I had two pregnancies they were unplanned in my mid and late 30s. My friend had an accidental pregnancy with twins at 45. Women can easily conceive in their 30s as much is in their 20s if they don’t have fertility issues the people who have fertility issues in their 30s very likely would’ve had them in their 20s. You were either fertile or you’re not and you don’t know which one you are until you start trying to have kids or get accidentally pregnant as many people do.

There are literally starting to be articles that there is no fertility Cliff at 35 it’s been shut down women’s throats for years. Both my grandmothers had children in their late 30s.

The answer is sexism not fertility. I would not wanna have a baby with a man over 40 if I could help it because the chances of special needs children go dramatically up when the father is 40 or higher because of sperm quality.

The whole conversation is unnecessarily geared against women when honestly both genders have declining fertility with age however no one talks about both genders—they just talk about the woman. [/quote]

Look at the statistics. I think many people hear about women having babies later in life and think oh look at that….if she can do it at that age and any woman can do it at that age and I have a boatload of time. The vast majority are using donated eggs and fertility treatments. I know they did not teach this is sex ed when I was in high school.

[quote] Fertility specialists quote approximately a 5% chance per menstrual cycle of getting pregnant naturally after age 40 vs. a 25% chance per cycle for women in their 20’s, which is when fertility typically peaks.
The reason for the decline in successful pregnancies after 40 is multifactorial. The rate of miscarriage is about 40% after the age of 40. This is due to many reasons, but the biggest is a higher chance of genetic abnormalities in each egg. Women’s ovarian reserve also decreases over time, meaning they have fewer eggs by age 40.[/quote]

[quote] A study in the medical journal Fertility and Sterility confirms Johnson's point. Researchers found that 40-year-old women treated for infertility had a 25 percent chance of getting pregnant using their own eggs. But by age 43 that number dropped to 10 percent, and by 44 it had plummeted to 1.6 percent. Among women who did get pregnant, the miscarriage rate was 24 percent for 40-year-olds, 38 percent for 43-year-olds, and 54 percent for 44-year-olds.[/quote]
