[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this board has a disproportional amount of senior mothers because most posters are higher income and can afford a lot of fertility treatments. This is a bad source of information to the truth of conceiving age.[/quote] http://www.ehow.com/about_5032741_geriatric-pregnancy.html A geriatric pregnancy is defined as one where the mother is 35 years old or older. Fertility decreases with age, meaning that a woman will be less easily able to become pregnant as the years go by. Additionally, fertility treatments to help the process along become less effective once a woman reaches around 35 years old. A healthy 30-year-old woman, for example, has about a 20 percent chance of getting pregnant each month. By the time she is 40, that percentage plummets to 5 percent.[/quote]
