You’re More Fertile Than You Think

Around 1 in 5 women believe they can't get pregnant

After spending our teens and early twenties agonizing over the thought of an unexpected pregnancy, most women hit a point where they stop and ask themselves, “What if I can’t get pregnant at all?” And while it’s a passing thought for some, a new study reveals that a good chunk of young women, about 1 in 5, think they’re probably infertile.

The news seems odd, considering all the media coverage about women who are shocked that they can’t have twins like Marcia Cross or Mariah Carey in their forties.  (The facts: Only about 6% of women under age 30 are infertile, and your odds of getting pregnant any given month after age 40 is 5%.)

But thanks to our awesome jobs and busy lifestyles, most women still expect to give birth for the first time about 7 years older than when their mom first did, and about 1 in 5 don’t expect to have a kid until after age 35. Alas, if only our reproductive systems would catch up with the times!

Do you worry about not being able to get pregnant?
