[quote=Anonymous]I was 44 when I had my first (and probably only). That was later than I wanted, but I am blessed to even have this child so I am not complaining. I got married at 34, which was definitely good timing for me. I had worked out all kinds of relationship issues, was settled in my career path, and had traveled the world. We didn't start trying right away for a variety of reasons and by the time we did, we found out I had fibroids and I had to have two surgeries to address them. Add in time lost in having the surgeries because of fear and the recovery time before ttc, I was approaching 40 by the time we even started. We then had IF issues and did multiple IVF cycles with only miscarriages to show for it. I got pregnant naturally at 43 and consider this child to be the one I was meant to have. Should I have started in my mid-30s? Maybe - at least it would have given me the opportunity to have more than one. But, at the same time, I know I wouldn't have the child I have now and I cannot imagine my life without him.[/quote]
