[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I assume three isn't large but we started at 35 so 3 took some fast work without twins.[/quote]

Hi, what is the age gap between the 3?  [/quote]

Two years and three years. [/quote]

Thank you. I'll give birth to my first at 34 and would love at least one more - DH wants two more. This gives me hope :)[/quote]

You're ahead of the game. Here's my actual breakdown, because I said 35 but that's how old I was when I got pregnant. 
I gave birth at
early 36
38
41

What you want to do is start having unprotected sex when the first is a year. You can ramp it up to actually ttc a few months after that. My mistake was waiting until the second was 2 to start trying. If I could do it again, I would start earlier on the third. You have more time than I did, however. [/quote]

Bad idea for number 2. My first took a year to conceive with a miscarriage from 8-10 months so I thought by 37 it would take longer. Nope. Pregnant in 3 weeks of trying. I really don’t recommend trying unprotected until you’re really ready for it.[/quote]

+1.  My first took over a year to conceive, with a miscarriage. My second and third I got pregnant literally the first time I had unprotected sex (I was  35 and 37 at the times).

Btw, there’s a strong genetic componant to late fertility.  And it’s correlated with female longevity.  So if the women in your family tend to live longer than average and have babies later in life, it’s more likely you will be able to as well.[/quote]
