[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who started TTC at 32, I think that another helpful point is that if you do find you have problems getting pregnant, it's easier to address them while you're a bit younger.  I am currently 34 and  pregnant from IVF and glad I didn't wait any longer to start trying (even though baby savings went to IF and it will be financially challenging).[/quote]

This is a good point.  We started TTC when I was 31, knowing a bit about IF since my sister and SIL had both gone through it.  When we hadn't conceived after about 7 mos of timed intercourse, using TCOYF methods, my sister basically begged me to see and RE to get a work up just in case...even though we hadn't been TTC for a year yet.  I kind of thought it was silly, but she was so relentless I just agreed.  Found very severe MFI to the extent that the RE said he didn't think it was trying anything before going straight to IVF/ICSI.  It still took us many cycles to find success.  I had planned to have 2 kids by 35-36.  Instead, I was 36 when DD was born, and I'll be 38 when I deliver with my current pregnancy (which, interestingly enough, is the defrosted petri-dish brother of DD).[/quote]
