[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 36 and husband is 34. We got married four years ago and still have no children because our financial situation isn't great at the moment. When people learn we're childless, they start making comments about how I shouldn't delay motherhood or at least freeze my eggs. The most infuriating things is that these people aren't even close family members or friends, they're acquaintances or some uncle/cousin I haven't seen in more than 10 years. I let them know that there's no reason to bring up the topic and leave it at that, but there's almost always somebody else who brings it later.

I'm aware that at my age, I might have troubles conceiving, especially if I have undiagnosed fertility issues, but the other option is having a baby that we won't able to support, so we're willing to risk it.

Why are some people so obsessed with the fertility of a couple whose kids they're not gonna raise or financially support?[/quote]

If the two of you actually create embryos, as opposed to just freezing your eggs, then you will have no problem getting pregnant when you’re older. You can carry the child yourself or use a surrogate. Many women choose to do this if they are not ready for kids. Most iVF doctors help you with the frozen embryos as late as 55 years old. This just give you some time to figure out things.[/quote]

Didn't OP said that money was the issue? If you can't comfortably provide a child then you won't be able to pay for embryo freezing or a surrogate.[/quote]
