33 is my cut off, I'm having my first at 27, so if we have 1-2 more I should be enough time to do so. I don't want to much older than that, and hopefully done by 30 if we get one of each gender!
-
I'm already 34 (just married 9 months ago) and DH is 37 and we've been TTC ever since! Of course when I was younger I thought I would have all my kids (2 to 3) by the age of 30, but clearly that didn't happen. Now I'm hoping that we have #1 by the time I'm just turning 35 and #2 VERY soon thereafter. Or if we have twins the first time around (we are going through IVF) we would probably stop then. Life doesn't always work on a strict timeline.
-
theoretically, I would like to be finished by 35, but I just turned 30 and we aren't TTC our first until end of this year/early next year...we want at least two, maybe 3, so it might end up getting pushed back to like 37 depending on how things go!
-
33. We go through menopause young (as in it's complete by our 40th birthdays), and start with the age-related birth defects early. I'd really like to have #2 (the last biological one) by 30, but that might be unfeasible.

@knittingmama: I know, this thread is trying to make me feel bad... But, I know I wasn't ready until now!

Before TTC I thought 33/34; we would like to have at least 2 kids. However, we are now both 32 and have no luck getting pregnant with our first so either it may be only one child or we can somehow get pregnant with a 2nd by 36ish. My mother had my sister at age 36 so it's doable!
-
I think 34 or 35. I just turned 30 and am pregnant with my first. Ideally we will try to have #2 soon after (start TTC between 6-9 months later) which would leave room in case we wanted to try for number 3. Obviously we may change our minds once this baby is born so if we go for only 2, we have a little bit of time to play with. If there are complications and we decide not to or cannot have another then I guess I will be done at 30!
-
No, but we have a rough outline of timing. I had my first at 26, my second will be born when I'm 28, and we're planning the last one for when I'm 30-32 (somewhere in there- we are currently disagreeing on how soon to try for the last one!)
We want to be done then, but who knows? There could always be a late surprise. Although I'm still trying to talk my husband into a vasectomy after the last one.

@mediagirl: @knittingmama: thank you both! Hopefully at 34 it won't take us too long!

40 - I was 37 when LO was born almost 9 months ago. If we decide to have another, conception would hopefully be in the next year.
-
Honestly, I don't have one. I'm only 24 and my baby fever is raging to the point that I think we'll TTC in a year or two. So if I have #1 at 26 and space them out every 2-3 years, I'll be done in my early 30s even if we have 3 or 4 kids. So it's not something I think about a lot... I guess I always figured I'd be done by 35 or so.
