[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, thank you for the replies, they were helpful. I will read the book Take Charge of Your Fertility as suggested.

I would start immediately if it were only up to me, but my husband wants to wait until we move back to the US. He is currently doing a post doctoral fellowship overseas. I am with him working remotely.

He wants to feel like he has a secure job (assistant professorship), which he will mostly likely start (unless something goes very wrong!) in Sept. of 2016. So he'd like to wait to start trying until the summer of 2016, and have the baby when we return to the US.

Both my mother and his mother had us (both first children) on the late side. My mother was 34 and his mother was 32. I think knowing this makes him feel like we won't have a problem and it's no big deal, but I have heard a few sad stories about people really struggling.

I *want* 3 children, but I could live with two (him also). [/b]
