My sister and I were both STAR Student (highest SAT score in our graduating high school class, top 20% GPA) and won National Merit Scholarships to UGA, one of the top two colleges in our home state. She took her scholarship and got her degree. I turned mine down, got married at age 19 to another 19 year old and spent two decades as a homemaker.

My sister began trying to have kids in her late twenties. She was 36 iirc when she finally had her only child. She has also miscarried multiple times.

She and I are no longer close, but we were at one time. We talked about the possibility of me serving as her surrogate if she couldn't have a child on her own.

Through her, I know quite a lot about fertility issues. I don't think I'm stretching anything. More like giving the nutshell version of many decades of knowledge.
