When Marina and began to write our book, I Am More Than My Infertility, we posted a survey on Marina’s website, www.MarinaLombardo.com and on the website for our book, www.IAmMore.net.

We used some of the information in the preparation of the book, and over the upcoming weeks, we plan to release the results of the survey here on the I Am More Than My Infertility blog.

In all, we polled 166 women, ranging in age from 20 to 50. The women responded from all over the world, and had the option of whether they included their email address or remained entirely anonymous.

The average age of the woman responding was just barely under 33 years, with the age that appeared the most frequently being 35 years, and age 30 being the second most frequent… perhaps that means that those milestone birthdays cause us to reflect most on where we are in life and what we have and have not realized in our list of life goals.

And here is a surprising bit of information: When asked, “How old were you when it first crossed your mind that pregnancy might not occur easily?” the average age of the women in the survey was just over 27 years, with many, many women saying they were concerned about the possibility of infertility as early in life as their late teens and early 20’s.

I think you will find the information in this survey very interesting. We cover a number of topics, based on more than twenty questions that each woman answered, and we’ll be sharing everything we learned with you, our blog readers, over the weeks to come.
