Medical liability likely weighed here. If I was the doctor, I would only prescribe this if the patient signed a disclaimer, which I don't believe is an option.
Many people, after all, completely change their mind on having kids later in life.

I agree with you about the disclaimer, but play out the situation-
Within a few years you will see a sharp rise in prescription of fertility-destroying drugs. At some critical mass, we will see lawsuits saying the drug companies find a drug that does X, but destroys the fertility of women and then just stops doing more research. This is similar to the development of the pill. It had nasty side effects for some, but not enough to economically justify more development until the law and massive public pressure came in.
