[quote=Anonymous]In general, I think you try to have kids as early as possible, assuming you're in a stable relationship and emotionally mature yourself. Being at a stable point in your career, having supportive coworkers and boss all help, of course, but I wouldn't wait to have those things before TTC. The thing is, you have no idea whether you'll have an easy time conceiving or not. If you do have difficulty, assistive technologies are far more effective earlier rather than later. That is, you want to find out you have trouble at 31, not 39. And I say this at someone who is fortunate to have conceived easily at 34 and 36 and had two healthy pregnancies. We TTC as early as was feasible; in our case, we were newly engaged, planning to be married in a few months. I didn't enjoy being sick as a dog on our wedding day, but I also am glad I didn't wait any longer. You just never know.[/quote]
