I guess you haven't really followed the discussion. Nobody knows how many women are "trying to conceive" - all we have are births for women in a 40-44 age-group. The 5% figure is probably (though nobody here knows for sure) based on women who have trouble conceiving and decided to use IVF - not a random sample at all.

And please stop patronizing us with the spiel about aging eggs. Everybody on these forums knows those facts 50 times over.[/quote]

It's not patronizing it's reality.  Sometimes reality hurts, I get that, but make no mistake it's called "age related fertility decline" for a reason.  Unless you are in peoples bedrooms surveying on if they are using birth control or not, no one will know if women are "trying to conceive."[/quote]

I don't understand why are you treating reasonable questions - to which you have no answers! - as mere coping mechanisms by desperate bozos, while it is perfectly clear all along that everybody here is aware of the fertility decline. The discussion is about something else entirely.

And yes, sometimes reality hurts, thank you for the news, though given that most of us here have had trouble conceiving, we are kind of aware of that. On the other hand, I already have a child and, while I would love to have more, can definitively be happy with what I have. So your attempt to school me in the life's hardships is kind of beside the point.[/quote]
