'Women CAN'T have it all': Expert warns women are losing their best years of fertility because of financial and career pressures – and then struggle to conceive when they do try.

No one person can have it all.

Even Gloria steinem said that to be a successful career woman, she needs a wife. No in the lesbo sense. But a partner.

"Experts"? hasn't everyone been saying this for over 50 years? (I.e. since day 1 of feminism , when it claimed "You women can have it ALL!!!").

It shouldn't be controversial even slightly, to say that "women cannot have it all".

If any career oriented woman needs a stay at home father I'm more than willing to step in for the role.

Guess what, no one can have it all, it's a truth that feminism can't deal with.

As if this is some sort of brand new revelation that has come about in the last few months...

Men and women have known about this for years, especially in previous generations. Now, women are taught that they can have everything and do everything.. And that biology is secondary, are now realizing, that biology won't sidestep your dreams of equality. Just like men, women are learning that they have to start sacrificing things or compromising to get what they want, in this case it's their fertility for a career.

This is the modern age of denying biological realities

Yeah, duh. You gotta plan for that shit.
Personally i don't see an issue with having kids in the late twenties. Seems like a better idea anyway, We need a globally smaller birth rate, not bigger.

Financial pressures are forcing women to delay their dreams of motherhood, and many are discovering the odds are against them by the time they try for a baby, new research has warned.

Dreams of motherhood? Don't most women think they children get in the way of their career?

Now, new research has revealed the biggest barriers to motherhood are economic, with three-quarters of women surveyed blaming their financial position.

This was ranked higher than problems finding the right partner, which 59 per cent of women blamed for having to delay motherhood.

Maybe keeping the job market saturated with foreigners has some side effects? Who wooda knewed?

The research, involving 1,000 women aged 18-45, was commissioned by The Stork, a clinically proven at-home conception aid which helps couples conceive.

'The truth is, fertility is often out of our control, and no amount of planning and preparation can detract from the fact that women's fertility begins to fall away sharply and men's fertility is not far behind.

'More frightening is the fact that figures from the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists show that in any given month, your chances of getting pregnant at the age of 30 are about 20 percent. At age 40, it's just five percent.'

Tick, tick, tick...

'Unfortunately, almost three out of four (72 percent) women under 35 who have treatment will face failure, and success rates fall with every birthday.

'For women aged 35 to 37, the failure rate is 76 percent; it climbs to 82 percent for those aged 38 to 39 and for women aged 40 to 42 the failure rate is 89 percent.

Well look at the bright side, she can spend more time at the office and sidestep that 'wage gap' we keep hearing about, that should make feminists happy at least.

Then they blame it on men.

Instead of "losing" read "squandering."
