[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I am fine with having 1 or 2 and adopting if needed. Like I previously stated, I am well aware of the risks, but they are greatly overblown. Women of any age can have complications. Yes, 35 and had increased risks, but it's not as bad as some of you are making seem. I'm in very good health, and I have worked with many women who have had children as late as their 40's. I've also had 3 sets of couple friend who started at 32-35, and had 2-3 in the span of 1.5 - 5 years. My closest friend had her children at 34 and got pregnant with her second at 8 months old. It can happen. [/quote]
If you're willing to take this risk it's your prerogative. I was in excellent health, super-fit, with clockwork like cycles. Still took me 3 years and 2 miscarriages...plus tens of thousands of dollars of fertility treatments to have my first. And another miscarriage and fertility treatments to have my second.

There's no indication that our issues were age-related, but the delay they caused (from wanting to have kids at 32 to not having my first until I was 36) made age an issue over time. I would personally recommend at least getting some baseline fertility testing done now to make sure there aren't any issues. I might go to an RE, because most OB's are clueless and sometimes downright dangerous with their misinformation about fertility.[/quote]
