[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't get married until I was 33, and I worried so much about my fertility. Ultimately I got pregnant easily at 34 and 37, albeit with a miscarriage in between. The honest truth is, anecdotal accounts will tell you nothing, because we're not you. I think the most important things are to feel secure in your marriage, happy in your station in life (whatever that may be), and resilient to change. [b]The best you can do is educate yourself on your cycle[/b], decide when you want to TTC, and go for it! [/quote]

+1.  I was in the same situation, and found that reading "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" gave me knowledge about my cycle that took away much of my anxiety.  Good luck.[/quote]

+1 for TCYF.  I found that really helpful.

We started TTC when I was 33 and got pg the first month we tried.  #2 was a surprise when I was 34 (#1 was 7 mos old!).  We decided to stop there but I don't think we'd have had difficulty having a 3rd in my late 30s given my track record.

I went into TTC expecting it to be difficult since I had several friends with fertility problems.  But I think you just hear more about those.  People who conceive easily (which is most) don't talk about it.[/quote]
