Go back 30 years and you will notice that most people thought 30 years old was too old to become pregnant.
Something happened between then and now because there is a noticeable shift in the age window in which women have children.
So what age is too old to become pregnant by today's standard? That's not an easy question to answer, nor is there a particular age number that automatically shuts down the reproductive capability in all women.
The fact is, some women can be fertile longer than others, but now we're talking very late-age pregnancy possibilities.
It has become widely accepted and for women to have children into their middle 40s.
We see it happening all the time with celebrities and now it's becoming main-stream.
It just makes more sense for women as more and more are waiting until their careers are stable before having children.
The thing is, however, as we get older it does become more difficult to become pregnant.
This doesn't mean that an older mom-to-be can't get pregnant, it's just more difficult.
The ratio of tries-to-success is lower for each year that goes by.
This should by no means prevent you from having a child at, say, 42 years old if that's what you want to do.
There are, however, a lot of great resources online that actually even the playing field for older women trying to conceive.
There's been a lot of research in the past couple decades and some very simple techniques can really increase the success rate for pregnancy.
