[quote=Anonymous]OP, I asked a similar question here not long ago and got similarly raked over hot coals for clearly not wanting children, as well as the standard cautionary warnings about my failing eggs and body.

In the end I thought about what kind of life I wanted for myself, and I decided that being ready to be pregnant and being a parent was most important to me. I took three months and took care of my health (taking prenatals every day, focus back on healthy eating and exercise) and did a few things that I wanted to do that are unlikely once we become parents.

3 months later, we stopped birth control. I got pregnant the first month, despite the apparent daily decline of my old eggs.

I think so many posters on here have a narrative of their lives: find a partner, marry, children after ASAP. They don't realize that life can take many paths with the same result.

My advise to you is: do what feels right. 6 months is not make or break. If you have fertility problems, you probably have them already. If you're in a better cantered place to deal with them in 6 months then that's better anyway. If you will have a happier, calmer pregnancy by waiting 6 months, then that's better anyway. If you have health issues to address, that's better anyway.

Good luck to you. [/quote]
