My comment is based on my personal experience.

Although I married young, I had my first child older than a lot of people and did not have my second child until about 10 years later. Although I was more mature and established financially with the second child, I really believe my younger child received my better years in terms of my interaction with him. If I could do it all over again, knowing what I now know, I would do things differently. Twenty years from now, I might feel differently, but that's how I feel today.

I guess a more appropriate way for me to have worded my comment would have been "Women are ...having children later, which I don't NECESSARILY agree with..."
I am all for women having careers and choosing to delay marriage and parenting, but for me, that was not the best decision.

As someone who is a child of older parents, I can agree with this. My parents had their first child at 34/37 and the , last at 44/47. I really don't want any children past 35. I didn't want any past 30, but I am 25 now, 26 this year and not married, so it is what it is. However, I don't believe in settling down with the wrong man or being in a desperate rush either. I do believe in prayer and I know that God knows the desires of my heart...

To those who disagree with birth control for religious reasons, how do you feel about fertility treatments?

I don't disagree with the use of birth control, but I don't believe in fertility treatments. It is my belief that if a woman is to be with child it will happen naturally.
