I had a coworker recently tell me she had 10 years before she had to start TTC (she's 29). A 33yo woman who has been married for 4 years said she wanted to wait until 39/40 because her mom retires around then and will watch their child FT. Its totally different if you dont meet Mr. Right until 38, but I really wanted to say something to her! Unfortunately, I was just meeting her for the first time.
Exactly. I'm not convinced Giuliana and Bill didn't use DE. They have a right to privacy on this, but it really does a disservice to people of normal means who hope to have a child via their own eggs to imply that willpower and persistence are all it takes.
I'm a mom via DE, and I'm thrilled that I was able to have this option. It took a hell of a lot more than willpower to get here!
