Well, women who want children and family have to make decisions about their careers and lives.

Many people graduate from college at age 21 or 22. Then assuming people get on a career path, the woman faces a situation in which her fertility will have a noticeable decline in less than 10 years. Or look at another way she’s got less than 10 years to get the career on a firm foundation, so she can be in a position to take time to have a baby.

Everyone’s different, I realize. Just generalizing that it is harder to conceive the older a woman gets.

On a personal note, my wife and I had two children while she was in her mid 20s. We abandoned birth control entirely when she was 29 as we were open to more but we never got pregnant again. We know women can conceive into their 40s but I’m just saying the odds go down he longer women wait.

“Many people graduate from college at age 21 or 22. “

Ye, many do; however, the average of college students today is 27.
