    It’s men, too. Sperm count and more importantly quality deteriorates. So both sexes are on the biological clock.

      I dk if i can see it as comparable. The lower chance for men is still way better than 0 chance for women. I know a few blokes who had kids in 60s but 0 women in that age would be able to naturally.

            Not quite the same thing, but my mom had my older siblings when she was between 15 and 21 years old. The delivery she had at 21 was complicated and traumatic. Doctors told her she’d never be able to have another child. 17 years later, she goes to the doctor and they find me in her belly. Life damn sure finds a way.

      Not comparable in any way. 80 year old men can get women pregnant. Women generally have extreme trouble getting pregnant at half that age.

        In any way? That’s a gross exaggeration & oversimplifies the myriad of reasons Women have difficulty becoming pregnant. My point was simply that everyone is on the clock.

          Men and women’s biological clock for the ability to get someone pregnant or become pregnant are massively different, like I said. A perfect health man will be able to impregnate women decades after a perfect health woman of the same age can get pregnant. That’s just biological reality.
