It's not a guarantee - but those are pretty decent odds and way better than they'll be at 38, 40, 42... Best money I could have spent.
I'm still single at 37. Out there dating like it's my job. The hard part is that my body is sending the lets have a baby right now signal. But my head is so reassured by having backup on ice - and that makes it a lot easier to date (and enjoy it).
I went through that at 29 and already a single mom. It was intense and irrational. At 30, it went away.

Freeze your eggs. If you don't have the money, they have financing programs. This is my best advice to you. Definitely do not wait until 39 or 40.
Some people can have problems as early as 35. So now is a good age for you to get started.

Similar story here to many others. Bad decisions about men left me single at 35. Spent a year getting my emotional house in order and them started dating like crazy with marriage in forefront, weeding out lots of men. Met DH right before I turned 37, married at 38, first baby at 39,second at 41. Fortunate that we did not have any problems getting pregnant.
Check out your fertility (a couple easy blood tests can tell you some info); freeze eggs now ; give yourself a couple years of seriously seeking a partner.
Good luck!
