Women - Delaying Motherhood For the Sake Of A Career

I am one of those women who grew up in the age of empowerment. I grew up with the belief that all things are possible. My mother taught me that with determination, a good education and work ethic I could achieve anything. We never discussed one big issue - Family.

I assumed that I would finish my education, get a great job and get married. I had no idea or concern of time. Like many American women, I waited to have children. I had my first son at the age of 31. It was not until, I turned 30 that I learned of all of the horrors surrounding infertility. I had spent my 20's trying NOT to get pregnant. I had no idea that so many women spent their 30's trying TO get pregnant and that I would be one of them.

Now, I am 35 and wondering why I wasted so many years? If you are a professional and a mom over the age of 30 please share your experiences and thoughts.
