[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no right timeline. I did get married at 29 and had 3 kids from ages 30-38. Those years juggling young kids and a career were tough. I now stay home.

Most people I know had their kids in their 30s. OP is still in her mid thirties. She could have 2-3 kids by 40. I think younger moms can have larger age gaps. Older moms may not have the luxury of time. I also know a lot of twin moms. I don’t ask but I suspect some are from ivf.

[b]OP, I would get some testing done. It can’t hurt. Just think of it like a check up. My friend TTC for 5 years. It ended up being her dh’s sperm. He had low count and mortality. They were an instant success with ivf and now have 2 kids by age 40. [/b][/quote]

A lot of OBs won't test a normal/healthy woman who's been trying for less than a year.

I went in for testing after a few chemical pregnancies and the doctor just tried to reassure me nothing was wrong and it would happen on its own timeline (which everyone loves to hear when they want answers).

I was pregnant during the appointment![/quote]
