I'm no expert either as I don't have or want children.

It just seems that way cause you hear a lot of them spouting about it in order to give other women their age hope. In actuality, this isn't true. Comparatively speaking, anyway. Easily as many and more women this age who are disillusioned when they go to try (often thinking they had plenty of time) and discover that it's not as easy for them as the women who
have done this made it out to be.
Kind of sad for the women who don't have the resources people like CC have to help them out. I've seen several late 30's to early 40's women suffer one failed conception attempt (or worse, miscarriage) after another because their bodies just can't manage what they assumed would be do-able for them for at least another few years without problem.
