This is a very in-depth book about fertility for women. It explains how 20s are the best time to have children and that most women's biological clocks start to run out around 35. This isn't to say women can't have natural children in their late 30s or early 40s. It simply means that the odds are not in one's favor, especially if one's mother was unable to have children that late. The author explains several types of Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs), egg freezing, IVF, and so on. She also encourages readers to get their fertility levels tested via something called an FSH test. Apparently, the higher the level of FSH in the blood, the less fertile a woman is. Whether we like it or not, the biological clock is real. While science has advanced greatly, doctors can only do so much. This book gives a lot of practical advice but is also a wakeup call to women to think twice before delaying having children for too long.
