Fertility crisis?

The Mirror is asking if Britain is in a fertility crisis... I thought perhaps they'd discovered something new or exciting, but there's not much in their feature that anyone with a fertility problem wouldn't know already, and a lot of the article focuses on age-related fertility problems.

It always fascinates me that with so much emphasis now on age-related issues, many GPs are still telling women in their 20s who are concerned about not getting pregnant that they are "too young" to be worrying about it. In fact, if you discover you've got a fertility problem in your 20s, you have a far better chance of being able to sort it out with treatment than you do if you are older. Maybe it's time for doctors to read the papers! See www.mirror.co.uk
