There are lots of blogs out there sharing wonderful information about things to do to preserve your fertility over 35, and success stories of women over 40 told they would have a hard time conceiving and carrying term. I read them all - they are truly great sources of information, on herbs and vitamins that you can take, etc. I have learnt so much from them.
But you see, the thing is, women turn to this websites and blogs when they have either decided to have a family or when they have started to have problems. What I want to do, is come at the issue from the other end. Before couples start to try for a family. What do you need to know then?
Having been there myself, what is amazing is how little focus there is on information for men and women in that 'zone' of life. And consequently I want to highlight that area as one of special interest and attention. Education on our own fertility needs a massive spotlight on it because we are letting each other down by not making sure we are all properly educated on basically 'how we work'. How does our fertility change withage. I heard/read somewhere this week that they are predicting that there will be one in four couples childless, very likely unintentionally.
My goal is simple - to try and stop the avoidable instances of infertility out there, so that there are less couples at risk of becoming unintentionally childless.
