[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Due to financial issues we will be TTC post 35. Assuming we are successful, I am wondering about the ramifications of waiting till older to have children. What has your experience been like?[/quote]

I haven't read the entire thread but I'm sure the most logical answer has already come up.  You're 35 already.  You can't go back.  Your choices aren't: shall I have a baby now or shall I wait? Your choices are: shall I have a baby now or shall I spend my life childless? Through this lens, it looks different, doesn't it.

I've had my children at 37, 41 and 44.   Is it too late? Yes. It is too late, from my perspective.  But I couldn't go back; my choices were have children late or don't have them at all.  I picked out of two imperfect options.  Given a choice, I would have preferred to be done with childbirth by 35, especially now, as I'm nearing 50.  But, I cannot go back and neither can you. Have your children now, or stay childless.   Decide which choice you hate more.
