the idea of a ‘biological clock‘ is completely foreign and ridiculous to me. in my life, it has absolutely no application whatsoever. my maternal instinct has been replaced by a fascination for electronic equipment — particularly that of an apple-produced variety. when i look at a baby i feel nothing. wait, no…that’s not entirely true. i’m usually filled with a sense of vague unease and revulsion. 90% of all babies are pretty much hideous, especially the newborn ones, and all of them are accompanied by various fluids and scents that are not at all pleasant. were you to blow up a baby to adult size yet keeping its infantile proportions, you would be horrified by the monstrosity before you. babies = gross = NO. this math is not hard.
Your biological clock? Yeah, it’s ticking. But it’s hard to know how fast. A new study out of University Medical Center Utrecht in the Netherlands says while menopause for most women begins sometime between 40 and 50, there is no real “average” age that marks the lack of fertility, meaning that some women may begin menopause as early as 30 and some well into their 60’s. In other words, feel free to become more paranoid not knowing what end of that spectrum your body will fall. Happy Monday! (via jezebel.com)
