She's 37. By that age fertility has slightly declined but is still far above "gone." 2 minutes of googling says that if she tries hard to conceive a baby with her betabux, there's about a 70% chance she'll succeed. For a 20's woman it's 90ish%.

Early to mid 40s is when it starts to look truly hopeless.

Her crisis is "I aged out of being able to secure commitment from a top tier man", not "I can't have kids anymore."

Wrong. By age 37 the raw numbers of remaining eggs plummets to less than half of the level barely ten years earlier. By age 40 there's only about 3% of the eggs left and miscarriages are more likley - not good odds.

As the eggs get older, the risk of cranking out a retard grows exponentially. Pregnancies past age 35 are considered high risk, and by 37 chromosome abnormalities odds shoot through the roof.

She blew it and she knows it.
