Women can have babies well into their 40's, most of the research claiming the popular 35 year biological clock has been proven just flat out wrong. The entire decade of most woman's 40's is fair game, it obviously gets harder in the later 40's but saying a 39 year old woman is too old is just silly.

This is flat out called ignorance

Can biological males that surgically emulate women conceive and gestate a child?
Can biological females that surgically emulate men fertilize an ova?

Please explain how these questions are ignorant?

Are these realities too uncomfortable?

These are indisputable biological facts.

How a person feels above the brain stem does not biologically change them below the brain stem.

This basically bullshite. Sure, they can. But it’s very difficult , has a low success rate and is fraught with problems like birth defects.

But this chick is 39 and single. She’s not ready to have a baby today. If she meets a man in a year, gets married a year after that and starts trying, she could easily be mid-forties by the time she gets pregnant- if she ever gets pregnant.

Then there’s the major obstacle of finding a man her age who wants to raise a child (or raise a child with a middle-aged woman, rather than a young fertile chick)

Almost everyone I know in their late 30s and having kids have used fertility treatments of some sort. Granted, a lot of them are successful, but I only know a couple that had kids past 41 or so. And for many of them it's pretty stressful, very expensive and you're literally fighting time. Getting pregnant and knowing that if you miscarry you're burning time is naturally stressful.

I also know a lot of people who have one kid and would have liked more.

Good friend of mine is trying to get his wife pregnant and has spent a fortune at fertility clinics

It is not a good idea to be at heart attack age when your kid reaches driving age.

My wife had our kids at 33 and 35. Some of y’all must have had kids straight out of HS to get them out of the house by 45. Sounds miserable. I enjoyed the shite out of my 20s with no kids.
I’ll be 53 when the younger one graduates HS for reference.

There is a long wait for adoption and lots of people needing Ivf.

Yet you have people in here thinking 45 year olds are easily getting pregnant.

How long were you married?

A non married chick at 39 still has to get married first. They are on dating sites, meaning they are most likely a while out from actual marriage unless some dude pops the question within a week.

Or do what most chicks do these days and just get that seed without a ring.

35 and older is considered a high risk pregnancy. Lots of women get pregnant in their late 30's/40s, but carrying a heathy baby to term is something entirely different.

I watched a woman who had not married or conceived struggle to have a child after 40. The emotional and financial toll was substantial. Despite multiple attempts ($15-20k each try) she was unable to become pregnant.

She had simply waited too long.

Everyone has stories of their grandma having kids well into her 40s, but it's different for a woman that has had multiple kids in their 20s and 30s vs a woman that has been on birth control most of their life and then suddenly decided they were ready to conceive after 40. The difference is stark.

I bet she had previously had children, though.
