Is 32 too late?

[Anonymous]

I am 29 and DH and I have been talking about when to start really TTC. I think we should start asap because what if it just doesn't works and takes us years to just get pregnant with #1. We debatebif we want 1 or 2. Def no more than 2 for husband. I could be very happy with 3 babies. All depends on finanaces really.

DH thinks we should wait until I am 32 to start trying and focus on work and saving until then.

Is this too late?

No, of course it isn't too late. Don't be ridiculous.

Earlier is better.

I had my first when I was 32 and second at 35. Conceived on the first try for #1 and 3 months for #2. We are still leaving open the possibility of #3, but I wouldn't want to be older than 39 or 40, if we do go for it.

In summary, I think you have plenty of time. I wouldn't have wanted to start any earlier.

31 or 32 is fine

Nobody knows. I got pregnant immediately at 32 but then had trouble at 34. One friend had three after 40. Another friend had trouble at 28. Maybe compromise and wait a year or 18 months?

Do you go to the GYN annually? Have you had any reproductive problems? Irregular periods, PCOS, fibroids, etc? You might want to go for an exam and just tell them that you will want to TTC. If everything is good, don't worry about age too much, especially 32.

Are you trying to be obtuse? Of course it's fine. In fact, it's early around here.

This!
You and your DH need to look into your own fertility.

While 32 is fine for some, it's not for others. Your doctor should be able to give you insight into this.

Start now. We started at 32 (one year after we got married) I will be a month under 35 when I deliver my first. We didn't have any defined issues just couldn't keep a pregnancy until now. It's devastating and hard in your marriAge. Start now.

My first thought when reading this was that you need to see a doctor.

I had a myomectomy at 30, and had my first baby 2 days after turning 32. Even with fibroids, I have zero problems getting and staying pregnant.

You're already too old. You should have had your children at 22.

Stop looking for reasons to be insulted. The OP didn't say anything negative about being an older mom, she simply stated she was worried about getting pregnant later. Sheesh.
