That’s kind of a young cutoff. I didn’t have my daughter until I was 35. And I’m friends with another couple who didn’t start on a family until they were in their 40s. I would raise your age to something more like 45. Keep in mind the average age of new mothers/first birth (in the developed world) is now 31.
35 really isn’t all that old. Yes, it is considered “geriatric,” but many women don’t start families until they are 35. That is particularly the case for women in professional careers, as they are often getting their careers started in their early 30s and may not have time to meet anyone or feel secure enough in their jobs to start a family yet.
Just curious if most women that don't have kids by the age of 35 means they will probably never want to have kids given their old age.
I'd probably go with 40 more. More women are waiting until they're older to have children. Some might have them in late 30s. But yes, a good percentage if they hit 35 without will not have them is what I imagine. My sister-in-law had my nephew when she was either 40 or 41 (her first). But I think that is pretty much outside of the norm.
And yes, 35 is certainly not old age! My, you must be a young one! And as I edit this already there are plenty of attestations of people who had their first at 35 or after, so there's definitely quite a few out there (though I would still stand on that that is not the majority).

My gut feeling is that you’re right, that most women have children earlier than 35. I tried to look up some statistics, but all I could find was an interesting statistic from the CDC that pointed out that majority of women have their first child from 30 to 34. This is more women then had their first child from ages 25 to 30. Basically, it was a milestones that back in 2016 where more women were having their first child in their early 30s vs their 20s. But that doesn’t address anything about women 35 years old and older.
