[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel for you op. People act like what until you pay off student loans to have kids. Infertility is real. In my office of women lawyers, every single one of them over 35 is having trouble. We are super close so I know they’ve been trying and the troubles they’ve had. I went to a top 25 law school with partial scholarships and then into government and Dh went into non-profit (no loans for him). We are from the south so we started trying for a child at 26. Infertility. Didn’t see that one coming. Luckily, we didn’t wait until mid to late thirties so we had plenty of time to try everything we could before resorting to IVF. Then I went into private practice to try to pay off my loan faster. Worst mistake of my life. I won’t go into all the horrors of my law firm but if I could do it all over again, I would not have gone into private practice. All your problems are not magically solved if you go into private practice that’s for sure. Good luck. [/quote]

I feel like many of you use fertility as an excuse as to why you had kids when you still had massive student loans.  Sorry but most women do NOT need fertility treatments.  There’s a huge difference financially in having kids at 26 vs 34.  In your case it didn’t matter when you had kids because you required IVF anyway.  So stop the scaremongering.  The best thing a woman can do is wait to have children until she is set financially and also in her career.  That isn’t the case for most 26 year old women.  [/quote]
