Women can and do have kids after age 27.
Yes, they do. And I, for one, am grateful that I am now risking infertility in my 30s rather than living with the consequences of having had children with the crappy boyfriends I had in my 20s, before I knew better. Even more than that, I am grateful not to have saddled children with the consequences of my youthful mistakes because I selfishly wanted to "make sure" I had "my own" kids before the clock ran out.
If the clock runs out on me, so be it. I'll still be proud of my choice to wait until I felt mature enough to be responsible for a family to start one.
