I'll be 38 next month. I don't have 5 years. If I'm not pregnant by my 39th bday...that's it for me. With what I know about the risk for down's in women 40 and over and with family history, I just can't risk it in good conscience. Time to adopt or just learn to enjoy life without children at that point.

I didn't know that 38 or 39 was considered the last of the OK zone. I thought it was more like 34 for first timers.

We only want one child. And 35 is the first age that is considered a high risk pregnancy due to advanced age. 40 is when the risks drastically increase for the chances of down's syndrome(the actual age the child is born, NOT when the woman gets pregnant).
