Being a woman in your 30s is interesting. You’ve got men born in 2003, 1990, and 1975 flirting with you.

Picture it: The year is 2006 and these two divas just dropped iconic pop albums and they’re going hit for hit with classic pop anthems.

so we lost an hour on international women's day?? wow, even our days aren't equal.

It’s time to come clean. Stream The Reunion: Laguna Beach on April 10!

My neighbor got married at 45. They knew it might be hard to conceive, but they tried anyway. Month after month, nothing. Every negative test felt heavier than the last. When she finally got pregnant, everyone called it a miracle. At her 20-week scan, the technician went quiet. Too quiet. They said there were “complications.” She was sent home to “wait and see.” She kept saying something felt wrong. Fever. Pain. They told her it was anxiety. That pregnancies at her age are “high risk” and she should try to relax. By the time they admitted her, the baby was gone. She almost was too. Infection. Emergency surgery. Afterward, they told her, “At 45, these things just happen.” They tried again, even knowing the odds were slim. Nothing. Test after test came back “normal for your age.” Doctors shrugged. Suggested expensive treatments they couldn’t afford. Her husband started sleeping on the couch. Said he didn’t want to “waste more time.” He left before she turned 50. Had a baby with someone younger within two years. She blamed her age. Blamed her body. Blamed herself for “waiting too long.” At 52, while switching hospitals, a new OB reviewed her old surgical report. There it was: “Fallopian tube removed due to intraoperative error. Patient not fully informed.” One sentence. No one had ever told her they removed a tube. No counseling. No explanation of how that further reduced her already limited fertility odds. She spent years thinking her age was the problem.
