Strictly speaking from a biological sense: whetever age the woman is when she has no eggs to fertilize.
You can freeze eggs. Checkmate!!
I hope that's a joke, but if not...women freezing eggs have sometimes encountered huge, huge problems. Huge financial problems, a quick search says 10-15K & often reaching 20K per egg freezing, retrieval procedure. Then $800/yr storage. Then costs for thawing & use. Tbf I see some lower quotes from New Hope but it's best to overestimate these costs & be pleasantly surprised when they're lower.
Freezing of eggs doesn't guarantee a successful pregnancy or healthy/live baby. A woman boldly wrote a piece called 'Freeze your eggs, free your career' and experienced a terrible, across the board dozen egg failure. At least she had the humility to share her story with the world, so they can see & learn from it. Takes a big person to admit maybe they were wrong.
I advise all wannabe future parents in their 20s to get to fucking. I don't personally advise having children, but obviously 20s are peak time if you can swing it. Biologically. It's not going to get any better.
I am immensely grateful for the egg freezing technology, how you can use it to cheat the infertility of cancer treatments, other bad medical conditions. But it's still a poor substitute for nature's plan, no guarantees, and I don't think it needs to be used by all women everywhere.
Good information!! Upvoted
