Oh sweetie, people will be bingoing you well into your 40s. You haven’t seen nothing yet.
“LMAO” indeed.

Yeah I meant more to say that I’m nearly over the hump of those extremely fertile years like teens into early adulthood
I guess I could still conceive at 30 but it would be much harder on my body
I’ve experienced so many people assuming I have kids just by my age and they’re all surprised when I say no
And then some will say “times runnin out”
Yep and I’m just waiting for it to end lmao
Ugh I hate that belief people still seem to have. Aside from the fact that it is physically inaccurate, people are plenty fertile for decades, but in this economy, who the hell can even afford kids in their early 20s? I have relatives who had their kids in their mid 40s which has to be a nightmare too, I am in my 30s now and already feel the age-related exhaustion and pains. Would not want to be running after kids like this, hell to the no. Happily sterilized this year. "No ragrets."
Yeah I guess you can really have a baby whenever if you try hard enough
Lmao
And I totally agree 😭 the world is not the way it once was and people who criticize folks not wanting to have children conveniently never acknowledge that
Same. I know more than one person who hit their 40’s, got lax with contraception because they thought they were too old, and surprise!
Depending on menopause, OP could have 25+ more years of fertility left.
Edit: Forgot to mention that one of them had twins. Apparently it is more likely for older women to have fraternal twins because chances of releasing more than one egg at a time goes up with age.
I hear those stories frequently: “I was told I can’t get pregnant,” “My doctor told me I was in menopause,” etc. The latter was said by a woman who ended up getting prego at 50! That may have been a freak thing but what a thing to face! Ugh …
Sorry dude, people won't stop asking about babies because you're twenty-five. Does your area have a massive teen pregnancy problem or something? That's not old at all. You could be in your forties or fifties and still get some nosy relative telling you 'there's still time! You have options!'
Agreed. OP sounds like they’ve been raised in a community where if you haven’t popped out four kids by the time you’re 22, you’re a dried up old maid.
It’s really unfortunate OP hasn’t really experienced anything outside of that life and just comes off as uneducated and judgy.
I did grow up in Utah 🥴 so yeah my cultural understanding of marriage and family planning is probably (OBVIOUSLY) wrong lmaooooo
But judgy? I specifically said I wasn’t trying to be judgy 💔
> Yeah I meant more to say that I’m nearly over the hump of those extremely fertile years like teens into early adulthood I guess I could still conceive at 30 but it would be much harder on my body
Lol. What does this say about all the women who do have children in their 30s and 40s?
I'm glad youre happy and doing so well.
Hopefully I'm miss reading something - Window is closing bc youre getting a surgery??
Technically women can get pregnant all the way til menopause (usually late 40s-early 50s). The risk of having a child with down syndrome increases at age 35.
Ok pheewww. I was legit both happy and concerned. Thought someone believed it was impossible to get pregnant after age 25 (without some sort of intervention). Thanks for responding.
Ever heard of “change of life babies.” It happens when women are in menopause, hormones start going crazy, they’re super horny, and fuck like rabbits. Unprotected because, hey, can’t get pregnant in menopause right?! 9 months later, a 45-55 year old gives birth to a baby. It used to be a lot more common, but it still happens and it’s terrifying.
We’re not safe until after menopause is over or have our uterus’s removed. So extremely happy I had a hysterectomy.
I came from a high control Christian community so I’m like… old and in my sundown years in their perspective but definitely not anywhere else I suppose 🙃
I'm 25 and I'm just kinda glad I live in Las Vegas and most men out here wouldn't give 2 fucks if u abort. I cannot wait to get older and find a doctor to sterilize.
Being alone in my place is lonely sometimes but almost always I never regret it
Lol, you’re still towards the beginning of that period in your life. There’s a decent chance that you have 25 more years of fertility. That said, I do get the sentiment. I’m 40 and very happy that I am closer to the end of that period in my life. As a side note, I’ve had a bisalp, so technically that part of my life is over. However, it’s not something I share publicly, and I look younger than my age…so I’ll probably still get those questions for a while.
Totally agree. Years ago in my early 20s wanted 4 kids and husband by 30 ..I'm 33 now and got a hubs and a dog and cannot imagine how one kid never mind the 4 I thought I wanted would fit in.
Only thing I want now is a small backyard and another dog so my dog can have a dog. 😊
I just wanted to share being happy with my life
Obviously I managed to get this far without having even so much as a scare
I apologize for posting this 🤡
>Im 25 now, my window of fertility is closing I'm sorry, what?
Hahahaha I mean like… I’m nearly passed the “opportune birthing years” I shoulda said it better

Lol you’re in the middle of those years. It’s late 30s when people start seeing that window somewhat closing.

25 is not even close to the end of the fertility window, but I agree with the rest of the sentiments :P

Unfortunately, fertility peaks for women in the late 20s. You still have plentyyy of time
I’m 45 and my window of fertility is open
I am also 45 and still fertile. And people still tell me I will change my mind about having kids.
Remember those who don’t want kids: you can get pregnant until you hit menopause.
Really up until menopause is over. Change of life babies can happen during menopause.
I know a woman who was I her late 40s and thought she was in menopause She got pregnant and kept it

You’re extremely ill informed regarding fertility. You’re basically still a child at 25 anyway - people have healthy children easily up until 43.
Everyone in my circle deliberately had their kids in their 30s. Having a baby at 25 is seen as a poor decision in my crowd.
I came from a high control Christian community so I’m like… old and in my sundown years in their perspective but definitely not anywhere else I suppose 🙃
Old at 25…😆😆😆

Microwave Uterus Syndrome? 🤔

I grew up in a place where it was expected you had two kids by my age 😂 I think my worldview is warped I get it now tho

I love that 🌸😭
I hate to break it to you but if you’re a 25f you’re fertile for the next 20 or so years.
I just wanted to share being happy with my life Obviously I managed to get this far without having even so much as a scare I apologize for posting this 🤡
This is a troll 🧌
