[quote=poorgradstudent]So, “scientifically”, there aren’t major disadvantages to starting a family at 29 compared to 22 unless you really want 4+ children. There’s actually a lot of good evidence that a later start to having kids provides a lot of advantages to those children, although of course correlation is not necessarily causation.[/quote]
That’s a huge advantage. If you want to have a lot of kids, the sooner you start, the better. I didn’t say women are not fertile at 30. I’m just saying women MORE fertile at 20. Am I wrong for saying women are MOST fertile around 20? This is the chart I find regarding age and fertility: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/i/preconception/infertilitygraph.gif
