At what age should you give up on pregnancy?

At what age should you give up on pregnancy?

I'm 33 years old right now.

In three years or so, getting pregnant will mean a later-in-life pregnancy, and my income is too low at 5 million yen annually, so I've begun to think of giving up on getting pregnant and just settling on a life of just me and my husband.

Since I live in the countryside, there are lots of people who marry and have kids early, and older parents are considered pathetic.

Until what age will you pursue pregnancy?

    If you're 33 I don't think it's necessary to give up.

      I'm also thinking of giving up around age 35.

      Huh? You're only 33! Don't give up! I'm undergoing fertility treatment for 6 years. When I'm 40 I'll give up. By the way, I'm 36.

      I feel like I want to try until I'm about 40, but I'm not confident in the strength of my body, so I wonder if it might be difficult..

        40. These days even if you're older you can give birth fine at a bigger hospital as long as there are no complications.

        Saying older parents are pathetic is rude in my opinion.

        42 maybe.

        I'm not trying to get pregnant now, but I wouldn't want to be pregnant after 30.

        Although I might be criticized for saying it...
        Because young moms are cuter after all.

        Later-life pregnancy begins at age 35 for someone who hasn't given birth before, right?
        The OP is still fine!

        I know a couple who started infertility treatment at age 38 and had a child at age 42.
      • 20. 匿名 2015/07/09(木) 15:53:37 [通報]
        Even in the country there are tons of people who do infertility treatment after age 35.

          Until you have kids.

          Since I'm 34 now I'm wondering whether I should quit infertility treatment.
          There's the issue of cost, but also pregnancy after 35 is risky |・ω・`)

          I'm 36, but I'm not giving up.
          Giving up while you are still young is a waste. I don't think having kids at an older age is pathetic at all, but rather being able to raise the kids with care is the greatest happiness.

          There may be many people who say various things about later-life pregnancy, but instead of paying attention to them, I think you should focus on what makes you happy.

          That's my two cents (lol)

          35, huh.35ですかね。
          After that point, the risk goes up significantly, and when you think about school tuition plus retirement expenses, it's really the second borderline.
          The first is age 30.


          You can say beautiful things but the fact is that the risk goes up quickly, you know.

          I think age 33 is still when it starts!
          For me, I'm going to try until age 40.
          However, when you're already saving for old age and your retirement years as a couple, if you choose instead to just enjoy life as the two of you, that can be best, in my opinion.

          Isn't it ok to try until menopause?

          Seriously.
        • 29. 匿名 2015/07/09(木) 15:55:46 [通報]
          If you want it, you should continue to try.
          I did infertility treatment for 8 years, and
          right when I took a break from it I got pregnant!

          It was a later-in-life birth, but my daughter is really cute, and I'm thankful I was able to safely deliver her.By the way, although I'm 44 now and just scraping by, I feel like I'm not as isolated as the really showy moms. I feel young and I'm so glad I didn't give up.

          If you try to force things too much you stress yourself out, so I wonder if it isn't better to not be so gung-ho about the whole thing.

          The cut-off for later-life pregnancy really starts at age 30.
          I've been told this by OB-GYNs and nurses.
          Although there are a lot of women now who give birth after 35, the risk for both mother and child increases, so it's ideal to have kids in your 20s.

          There are people who do infertility treatment past age 40.
          You can't turn back the clock.
          I think it's fine to keep trying for a while.
          Do you really want to give up on kids already?
        • 33. 匿名 2015/07/09(木) 15:58:03 [通報]
          My friend started trying at age 42.
          She's going to try until 46.

          Although changing hospitals can mean higher initial costs and the exams are a pain, I think getting a second opinion is always important. 
        • 36. 匿名 2015/07/09(木) 15:58:48 [通報]
          I won't stop trying until my money runs out!
