“I was trying to get pregnant. It was a challenging road for me, the baby-making road.”
for in vitro fertilization are 25.1 percent for maternal ages 38-40, and 12.7 percent for ages 41-42, according to data from the Society for Assisted Reproductive Technology.
"My late 30s, 40s, I'd gone through really hard shit, and if it wasn't for going through that, I would've never become who I was meant to be," says Aniston, then explaining: "I was trying to get pregnant." Remember the many years that Aniston was the subject of a tabloid "bump watch"? "I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it. I was throwing everything at it," she says. "I would've given anything if someone had said to me, '. Do yourself a favor.' You just don't think it. So here I am today. The ship has sailed."
"I have zero regrets," says Aniston, now 53. "I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, 'Can I? Maybe. Maybe. Maybe.' I don’t have to think about that anymore." But there was certainly pain in the past. The hurt of the "Does Jen Have a Baby Bump?" headlines was compounded by "the narrative that I was just selfish," says Aniston. "I just cared about my career. And God forbid a woman is successful and doesn't have a child. And the reason my husband left me, why we broke up and ended our marriage, was because I wouldn't give him a kid. It was absolute lies. I don't have anything to hide at this point.
