[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think fertility concerns can be overblown - a 30 year old should not be panicking. But let's be serious - a woman who really wants a child is running out of time as she gets into her late 30s with no spouse. It is unfair for men not to recognize this. [/quote]

Yes, 30yo is young, but realistically, it can take 5 years or more from the time you meet someone to when you're having kids with them.  That's dating for 2 years, getting engaged, getting married, starting to try to conceive, etc.  I'm 36 and tell my friends in their early 30s to start taking dating seriously now.

Once you pass 35yo or so, you start to have to make more calculated decisions about who you're dating, how you let a relationship progress, what you'll put up with, etc., in order to increase your chances to have kids with someone.  I've seen several friends (plus myself) end up with people who are "good enough" in terms of compatibility.[/quote]

Yes!! I met my husband when I was 27 and we weren't able to have our first child until I was 34.[/quote]
