Fertility?????

hi all, im 33 yrs old, have no children, does any1 no about fertility in your 30.s, i do want children but not just yet, but im starting to worry about my age, and how your fertility declines,does any1 no about this subject, thanks for reading x

after 35 is considered high risk, I would do it now. You may never really be ready, you just have to do it if that's what you want.

It's not just about the ability to get pregnant, it's about the chances of complications and deformities that rise as you get older

Women's fertility peaks around the age of 23-24, and often deteriorates after 30. Of women trying to get pregnant, without using fertility drugs or in vitro fertilization:

At age 30, 75% will get pregnant within one year, and 91% within four years.
At age 35, 66% will get pregnant within one year, and 84% within four years.
At age 40, 44% will get pregnant within one year, and 64% within four years.[2]
The above figures are for pregnancies ending in a live birth and take into account the increasing rates of miscarriage in the ageing population. According to the March of Dimes, "about 9 percent of recognised pregnancies for women aged 20 to 24 ended in miscarriage. The risk rose to about 20 percent at age 35 to 39, and more than 50 percent by age 42".[3]

Birth defects, especially those involving chromosome number and arrangement, also increase with the age of the mother. According to the March of Dimes, "At age 25, a woman has about a 1-in-1,250 chance of having a baby with Down syndrome; at age 30, a 1-in-1,000 chance; at age 35, a 1-in-400 chance; at age 40, a 1-in-100 chance; and at 45, a 1-in-30 chance."[4]

The use of fertility drugs and/or in vitro fertilization can increase the chances of becoming pregnant at a later age. Successful pregnancies facilitated by fertility treatment have been documented in women as old as 67.[5]

Doctors recommend that women over 30 who have been unsuccessful in trying to conceive for more than 6 months undergo some kind of fertility testing [6].

I THINK ITS DANGEROUS FOR ANYONE OVER 30 TO GET PREGNANT!!! It gives the baby a higher risk of being premature!!!!

it's still possible but best do it soon good luck

it's possible. you just need to make sure you're healthy. i know a woman who had a child when she was 41, and her son is perfectly healthy. he's 15 this year. woman's chances of having twins also goes up after 30. talk to a doctor if you're really worried about it, or even planned parenthood might have someone you could talk to. good luck, and there is always adoption as an alternative.
