Today is a bad health anxiety day. My mum said something that triggered me off and I ( stupidly ) googled to try and undo it and it made things worse. She said she was lucky to conceive naturally with me at 38 when most people have poor egg quality and need donor eggs.
I read several Uni papers on how having a parent over the age of 35 at birth, increases cancer risk earlier in life of offspring by 75% through poor egg quality and defective gene formation. This has depressed the crap out of me. When I read things in general health sites written by randoms I can easily brush it off as misinformation but how do you argue with huge case studies and scientific research?.... Is my OCD and health anxiety making this seem worse than it is?
