Myth: You waited too long to have kids.
Well I guess I could've tried to get knocked up when I was 12, but that doesn't seem logical. Hmm, maybe I should've started when I was 16 and then I could've been on Teen Mom. No, I'm not much of a reality t.v fan. 18 sounds like a good age, I'll be done with high school so I'll have plenty of time. Well no, I want to go to college so that won't do either.
I guess I'll wait to fall in love and get married first. Then it will be the perfect time. Easy peasy.
Wrong. I guess I waited to long to have kids.
Sorry honey.
I was married when I was 22. I know, super old. My husband and I began "trying" a few months later. I was still 22. My husband, only 23. No luck.
So now, 2 years later I am 24 and my DH is 25 we are still sporting the 2 person household.
and it sucks.
Infertility affects couples from all age groups. Yes, it is true that the older you get the harder it will be to achieve pregnancy but it doesn't mean it's impossible.
I mean, have you watched the show Pregnant at 70?
I would call this myth busted.
Because clearly, in my old age I've attained a bit of knowledge on the subject.

I've missed the show Pregnant at 70... maybe I'm gullible but is that real? I'm sorry your having to go through this, it's not easy at any age.
ReplyDeleteI don't have cable so I'm am equally unsure if you were being humorous about the Pregnant at 70 show. But I wouldn't be surprised. I remain appalled at the MTV young mom shows...and their attempt to justify it as teaching young kids a lesson about the hardships of parenthood. Yes..because teaching them they'll get on tv and magazine covers is a negligible side effect. ICWL
