ah, yes. To add my previous post-dh went for the vasectomy when I was 34. So we're pretty certain we are done!

In so many ways I feel that was the right answer (financially, time, age, and medical risk factors). Even if you physically are in great shape beyond 40's, one's eggs are biologically old. Not only are the eggs more likely to have problems with age, it appears the ability for our bodies to detect and abort defective eggs is reduced with age.
I'm a scientist, but I think it is hard for people to understand no matter how young someone feels, there are biological limits.
Heck, someone I knew who was trying to have kids around the age I was with my second, got a test and found out she was actually going through perimenopause.
