[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is really never that "right or perfect" time ideally.

When it does happen, you just make it the right time.[/quote]

This is a good answer.  If you are 35 I would not wait.

I waited until everything was just right at age 36.  It took us a year and two miscarriages for #1 to be conceived, and I delivered at age 38.  Then when she was 18 months we wanted to try for #2 (it's generally recommended to wait 18 months minimum to have another).  So I was 39 then and it has been two years of trying....7 IUIs, 4 IVFs, one pregnancy miscarried and still not successful.

The immense costs of two years of infertility treatment (financial, emotional, logistical, physical) far outweigh the inconvenience of it not being an ideal time.  I would definitely do it over differently if I could.[/quote]

Have you been tested for immune issues?  Your story sounds like mine except I got pregnant right away at 36 and started trying for #2 the month I turned 38 and we were never successful.  I got tested for immune issues and was found to have them.  It's been 2 years for me and I never got pregnant even once in that time.[/quote]
