THIS WEEK IN YOUR THIRTIES
Something happens somewhere between 32 and 35. The group chat goes quiet, then loud, then quiet again. Someone froze her eggs. Someone else stopped taking the pill. Someone said the words AMH at brunch and nobody knew whether to nod or Google.
We noticed.
So we took every question you've been sending us, and asked one of New York's leading fertility specialists to answer.
Dr Sitara Ravikumar said yes. Here are three of the answers.
1."I feel my clock ticking. How worried should I actually be?" - Anonymous, 33
"No. The change from 33 to 35 is modest for most women. Fertility declines slowly, at a different pace in every body, and advanced maternal age is an outdated term."
2."I'm not in a relationship. Should I start looking into freezing my eggs within the next year?" -Jazmin, Connecticut
"In general, the younger the better, because younger eggs are more likely to become chromosomally normal embryos…"
3."Going on the pill so young is something I really question now." - Alice, England
"Years on the pill do not use up your eggs, lower their quality, or age your ovaries…”
Five more women asked about AMH, PCOS, the injections, egg versus embryo freezing, and what to do when you've been trying for years and it isn't working. Every question got an answer.
