The fight for fertility

In the nationwide survey conducted by iVillage, a quarter of women in their thirties said they still hoped to have children. It seems normal to want a family later in life. Sadly, however, nature is a bit slow to catch on. Fertility varies dramatically according to genetic inheritance, but some women's ability to conceive starts to decline as early as 27.
