2024-07-13 at 8:17 AM UTC in As Milennials delay childbirth, fertility crisis looms large
In terms of milestones, turning 35 years old may seem unremarkable. Unless, that is, you're a woman who hopes to get pregnant – in which case it can loom large.
https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20240313-the-fertility-myth-most-advice-says-womens-fertility-declines-after-35-the-truth-is-more-complicated
For decades, the age has been seen as a watershed moment for female fertility. Before 35, the theory often goes, most women will have little trouble conceiving, but that point, fertility falls off a cliff. For those who do become pregnant later, there even are particular medical terms, including "geriatric pregnancy" and "advanced maternal age", used to drive the point home.
But the reality is more nuanced, say experts. It's true that more women in their late 30s will experience difficulties conceiving – and, in some cases, face more risks in pregnancy and delivery itself – than women in their late 20s or early 30s. However, the decline is a continuum, not a cliff, and it looks different from one woman to the next.
"From 35 years onwards, the rate of decline speeds up, in egg quality and quantity," says Lorraine Kasaven, an obstetrician-gynaecologist and clinical research fellow at Imperial College London with a special interest in fertility. "The rate of decline, however, will vary from individual to individual."
Infertility – clinically defined as not being able to get pregnant spontaneously after a year of trying – becomes more likely the older that prospective parents get. One of the largest studies on the topic, for example, found that, of 2,820 Danish women who had intercourse at least twice a week, 84% of those aged 25-29, 88% of those aged 30-34, and 73% of those aged 35-40 conceived within 12 menstrual cycles.
Of course, not being able to get pregnant in that time frame doesn't mean never being able to. Another study found that, of women in their late 30s who hadn't conceived after a year of trying, more than half still got pregnant naturally after two more years if their partner was younger; if their partner was 40, 43% did.
For those who go on to use assisted reproductive technologies (ART), there is still more hope. According to the most recent data, for example, in 2020 for example, 40.6% of all egg retrievals for 35- to 37-year-old female patients in the US led to live births. That's lower than the average of 54.1% for under-35s. But the decline holds steady until the 38- to 40-year age range, when it hits 26.9%. For patients over 40, it drops to 9.3%. -

Originally posted by Dirtbag Men have a habit of painting powerful women as evil. So my list could go on.
Evil is relative. Women are an evil to men.

They're the only people who keep their women traditional and don't tell them to chase career and not worry about children until they're 40 and infertile. As a result they're the only people still having children.
Kafka's style of western liberalism is dying out due to low birth rates. And it is only getting worse.
Demographics is destiny. The future of the world belongs to people like the Taliban and the Christian Conservatives. -

Originally posted by Dirtbag He relentlessly calls me retarded and it's probably because he fears that he is. He feels threatened by my intelligence. I caught him projecting when he accused me of using hypnosis to become better at debating. Something I never mentioned so I knew he was looking at that hypnosis track on the website I linked.
He seems preoccupied with enhancing his intelligence, to the point of wanting to drill a hole in his skull.
He can't actually argue, he just calls other people stupid and rhymes off irrelevant facts. I've seen this evasion tactic from UK politicians.
He doesn't seem to have expert knowledge of anything or any real interests.
He makes statements as though they are facts.
He only seems to have surface knowledge of things.
I've caught him pasting things without using quote marks.
Great minds think alike and his mind differs from mine.
If he were intelligent he would be asking questions, something he never seems to do.

By the way, it’s a public message board. Not a private conversation over tea and crumpets. Nobody needs to ask you for your opinion, the point is you just post your opinion unprompted that’s how this works. Nobody is going to sit here and stroke your worthless ego. “Hmmm, we haven’t heard from Kafka yet. Where is Kafka? We need her insight 🤓🤔🧐”

Your opinions are observably dogshit. Your politics thread the other day is evidence of that. You’re a mindless zombie like everyone else regurgitating the same half-remembered factoids you saw in a headline the other week.
You probably were smart in grade school when you tested one standard deviation above average in IQ but those results are measured against your peers. If you never got any smarter you’re just a smart 8th grader now.
You’ve done yourself a huge disservice growing up thinking you’re smart when you’re not. If you were more humble you’d actually be open to learning new things, but you think you already know everything.
And I know all this because I really am smart -
