When Does Age Matter?
| Mon, 08-18-2003 - 4:04pm |
When does age start to matter in regards to fertility and ability to conceive after being on BCP etc.? This question is definitely just out of curiousity for me because I am only 20 and I know I have nothing to worry about yet, in fact I suppose most would say I am too young to be TTC (lol). Anyways, also if you don't mind my asking.. how old were you when you had your first; or how old are you if you are TTC#1?
Best Wishes to all!

I'm 36 and DH is 34...and we are TTC#1. I've worried at times about age and wondering if I waited too long to settle in and start a family...but my doc tells me that more and more women are waiting until their 30s to start TTC...Women are getting more education these days than previous generations, establishing careers, and often waiting longer to get married...all of which can push back the decision to have a baby until a later age. This is both good and bad...I guess...seeing as fertility does start to decline. But, most women are able to have very healthy pregnancies in their 30s and even into the 40s. I've given myself a 4-year "window" of opportunity to have a baby (or two?) before I'm 40...hope it works out!
GL to you!
