Amanda Seyfried age 29 thinks her eggs are "dying off"

She’s only 29, but she thinks the clock’s a’ tickin’.

“I keep feeling like my eggs are dying off,” Seyfried overshared with UK Marie Claire.

“Once you’ve turned 30, you might only have a 20 per cent [chance] of getting pregnant [each cycle],” she said.

“And that’s if everything is working well. Isn’t that crazy?”

Amanda Seyfried for Marie Claire.

It certainly IS crazy, Amanda Seyfried.

The actress has clearly fallen victim to the periodic scare-mongering that sees a flurry of articles entitled things like The dangers of delaying motherhood until 30 and Pregnancy after 30 – dangerous for women and babies doing the rounds that cause young fertile women to lament their lost baby-making years.

They were too busy building careers and having lives and finding appropriate life-partners that they missed their prime breeding years. Damn feminism!

The truth is that the study Seyfried’s likely basing her fears on is woefully outdated. By about a few hundred years.

Seyfried is turning 30 in December, and is dating professional cute guy Justin Long, 37.

“I need to get on it… I want a child, badly,” she told Marie Claire.

“I’ve been feeling like it for like, two years. I’m not ready, but nobody is ready.”

The good news for Seyfried, and all women who are 30 or over, single and imagining their futures alone with only cats for company, is that there are a few more up-to-date studies that show becoming pregnant in your 30s is not the magical biological feat some would have you believe.

One, published in Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2004, found that for women aged between 35 and 39 having sex two or more times a week, the chance of pregnancy within a year is 82 per cent.

Amanda Seyfried already has a baby – her adorable Australian shepherd, Finn, whom she adopted from a shelter. Post continues after gallery.

It also noted that the fertility of women in their late 20s and their early 30s is basically identical.

So chill Amanda. Stop worrying about your future childlessness and scaring the hell out of Justin Long.

Are you in your 20s or 30s and worried about fertility?

Amanda Seyfried is turning 30 and panicking about the thing almost every woman in the situation panics about too.
