And there can be higher risks of miscarriage.
But everyone has a story of, well, my mom was 45 when she had me.
Well, there were still some normal eggs there.
And even though statistically it was less
possible or probable, she was able to ovulate a healthy egg.
She was able to ovulate that lucky egg.
And good thing your name is Dr. Lucky.
Exactly.
I get asked that question all the time, and it's so individual.
It really depends.
I mean, in general, yes, if you were to draw a line, like a line graph over the years, we know women in general have been waiting longer and longer.
It's not that they're waiting.
I shouldn't say that.
It's taken longer for a lot of people to be financially independent and comfortable and ready to start a family or to find the right partner.
Narratives have changed in terms of settling down and what that looks like.
And I think there are some great things about that.
But as a result, it has led to a lot of women, not all,
pushing the boundaries of our reproductive system.
Because while a lot of things are changing in society, the ability to ovulate that healthy egg, that shifting over time with our age, that hasn't evolved, that hasn't caught up yet.
So that's one of the biggest misconceptions.
