Women over 35, what are your baby plans?

2 months ago

Are there any women here approaching or over 35, who haven’t found a signficant other yet and not frozen their eggs? Are you taking any specific health or diet measures? Do you think it’s too late to freeze eggs?

I’m 35+ and honestly my “baby plans” became way less idealistic and way more practical over time…

In my 20s I thought: “it’ll just happen when the timing feels right.”


Now I think more in terms of:

  1. fertility decline
  2. egg quality
  3. energy levels
  4. finances
  5. relationship stability
  6. how many kids I realistically want


One thing that changed my perspective was learning fertility doesn’t fall off a cliff at 35… but statistics do start shifting:

  1. lower monthly conception odds
  2. higher miscarriage risk
  3. more chromosomal issues over time

That doesn’t mean panic mode.

But it did make me stop assuming unlimited time.


I also know women 35+ who:

  1. conceived naturally quickly
  2. froze eggs
  3. did IVF
  4. decided against children entirely
  5. became parents later than expected


Honestly… I think a lot of us are quietly trying to balance biology with real life, and those timelines don’t always cooperate.

Don’t follow all the internet advice blindly. My mother had her last baby at 39. I decided against freezing my eggs and got easily pregnant at 38. I did have a very healthy lifestyle though. No alcohol or smoking, moderate consumption of sugar (tried but couldn’t give it up completely), sleeping for 8+hours each day, exercising without compromise, a balanced diet and a happy heart. I do take anti-oxidants or vitamin supplements from time to time. Do what feels right for you.
