"Tick, Tock!" "Tick, Tock!"

Woman: There's that irritating sound again. What is that?!

Doctor: Never mind dear, that's just your biological clock. It's a rather annoying contraption isn't it? Now let's get back to focusing on this checklist.

Woman: My biological clock? What's that?

Doctor: Well, how can I say this without hurting your feelings. As you may know, your body has a shelf life.

Woman: Excuse me?! Do I look like a grocery food product to you?

Doctor: To be honest, yes! Well, let me rephrase that. Your body has an expiration date to do certain things at certain moments in time.

Woman: What? Oh God! Will you just get to the point already?!

Doctor: Okay! Okay! Your biological clock is ticking because you're in your early thirties, and your chances of having children are getting slim to none!

This is it! You have now reached a crossroads at this period in your life. The path you take now may determine if either you'll continue on the single, independent, and career driven path or choose to place your future career goals on hold for a moment, settle down, and gear towards finding a husband and having children. Now let's say that you choose to take the single, independent, and career driven path. You're living the single gal lifestyle, you've achieved a good education, a successful career, and you've climbed the corporate ladder. Now what's next?! You start to think to yourself, "I'm really focused on being single and career driven. Besides, I stay fit and eat healthy. I'll be able to find someone and have kids well into my forties."

But once you've reached age forty, you'll begin to realize the awful truth that most of the men in your age group are looking for women six or more years younger than you, your body isn't as tight as it use to be, and worst of all, you can't bare a child. This realization will turn into sadness which in turn will lead to bitterness and frustration. But this does not mean that your life is over. There are other options like adoption, egg donation and surrogacy. On another note, what if you choose the settling down and finding a husband and having children path? Do know that this road will lead you to make some sacrifices. The sacrifices are that you'll momentarily lack further advancement in your career, your body won't look the same during and after pregnancy, you'll now rely on someone else besides yourself for help, and you will also be fully responsible for the new born life you'll bring into the world. And of course with sacrifices also come rewards. You now not only have the education, the career, the home, and the car, but you'll also have a loving family of your own to share it with.
