    Miscarried 3 months after marrying - without trying to get pregnant, just never updated my Fertility Friend tracker (to prevent) that month until we found out we actually did it during GO time.Conceived 3 months later when we actually tried for the first time. So gave birth a year and 3 months after marrying, well over 30.

    I was 26 when I got married but DH was 33. We had a baby by our first anniversary. I have no regrets.

    We got married at 27 & 31. We're now 31 & 35 and still don't have kids, but are thinking of ttc later this year It took a while to get to a place where we felt truly comfortable.

    I got married a few months before turning 32. We waited for about 6 months--mostly because we delayed our honeymoon until the winter, so we had something new to plan and look forward to.

    We were pretty lucky and I had J at 33 and am about to have #2 at 35. I wish we had a little time before kids to travel, but I am also very glad we didn't wait too long bc I really wanted to be done by 35.

    Got married when we were both 33, got pregnant a month or so after the wedding. LO1 was born when I was 34, LO2 was born when 36. And we're done!

    I got married at 30 and wanted to finish my phd and enjoy a few months of being married and get a job etc. Instead I was (accidentally) 12 weeks pregnant by our first anniversary and finished my phd just after my son turned 2. Sometimes I'm wistful that we didn't have more alone time but I'm also glad to have just had my second kid at 35. My age is a factor in whether or not I want a third.

    Married at 31, first baby at 32, last baby at 35. I didn't have any problems because of age, but I did have a miscarriage and a stillbirth in between my kids.

    We got married at 32. I thought it might take a while so we stopped preventing immediately. And I got pregnant the first month, and we had our first LO 2 months before our first anniversary.

    We had our second the month before our 3rd anniversary.
