[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 40 year old friend has been trying for a baby for 3 years and her marriage is struggling. I feel so sad for her. Why do some women continue to have healthy pregnancies into early 40s and others struggle even after tried everything? [/quote] 37 is too old to start trying and hope for success. Most people know that beyond 35ish is a crashing unless you have a solid history of know fertility before that. I've been shocked by the sheer number of young 30s friends that are not able to conceive. [/quote] This is statistically false. There is a small step-off i.e those between 35-39 are about 90% as likely to conceive as those between 20 and 34. The sharp decline comes after 40. Statistics don't help OP's friend though. Like with everything related to health (and other aspects of life), some people just are not as fortunate as others. [/quote]
