[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know two people for sure who easily got pregnant in their 40s with their first (and subsequent) children, no fertility treatments needed. One confided to my sister that she had heard how hard it would be but that it happened so easily and that my sister shouldn’t be afraid of all the horror stories. [/quote]
Anecdota isn't data! For those two women you know there are probably two dozen who needed fertility treatments or couldn't have kids. We need to stop lying to women and pretending that it's so easy to just have a baby when you feel like it. I'm 31 and half my friends have had fertility issues, including myself. Just because 2% of 40 somethings will have an oops baby doesn't mean that's the norm. Look at the actual data people![/quote]

PP here. I know that.  I myself had fertility problems and so did my husband (severe MFI, as a matter of fact).  And so does my sister, but she doesn't want kids anyway.  I was just responding to some people who said they didn't know anyone in their 40s who got pregnant with bio children and no fertility treatments.  It does happen and those people shouldn't be accused of lying.[/quote]
