Lovely mate of mine has just taken up with lovely bloke (after EIGHT YEARS of singleness. Indeed of celibacy [shudder]). She is just pondering, as you do, the whys and wherefores of pregnancy at 41ish...Down's risk is up, right, but are other chromosomal abnormalities? And is there anything conclusive about fertility, apart from the fact it's all quite individual but does go down from the decade before we start menopause?
Oh go on, it'd be fab if she had a baby, she's had such a vile time for ages.
