geriatric pregnancy. That’s not some kind of judgment, just a medical fact.

From a secular standpoint, correct. But remember that even young women can have infertility. Medical fact indeed.

From a faith-based Biblical and Christian standpoint, no. God’s timing is God’s timing. Especially considering the leading roles barren women and elderly mothers play in the lineage of Christ and the unfolding of His redemptive plan. Let God lead you to a spouse, to your calling, on his timeline. And if that’s age 19 great! If biological children are in the cards, great. But it’s up to Him. And He wants to be there for You and bless the world and people around you through you no matter what the circumstance.

As a Catholic, that kind of speech would be more my speed.

Yes, younger women can be infertile, and so can men. An sometimes women can have children fine at quite a late age. But we shouldn’t be lying to women about the reality. What do you mean from a secular standpoint? All of this is secular.

I know a couple who many many years ago were trying to get pregnant (she was in her 20s, early 30s at the time).

Never happened. Turned out she had unknowingly gone through menopause prematurely and had no hope of conceiving.
