  • I got married at 25 with the hopes of being pregnant by 26-27. I was 29 when I got pregnant so at least I was still in my 20's.

  • When I was younger and when I first got married, I wanted to have a baby by 30. Then I was told by my gyn that we would likely have issues so we started trying when I turned 27 (knowing it could take time), got pregnant, lost the babies, pregnant again at just about 29, and got the baby right before I turned 30. So my long term plan wasn't affected, but only because we started trying way earlier than anticipated.

  • I got married at 30, would have liked to get pregnant by 31, then 33 and then 35 (3 kids - 2 years apart, done at 35).

    I got pregnant at 37, had him at 38

    A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
    After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
    My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

  • My mom didn't have me until she was 32 so I was comfortable with that age....and since I didn't get married until I was 32 I knew it wasn't going to be earlier.  I would have preferred to be able to have G by the time I was 35 so I'd have a little more time to try to have another but...oh well.

     

    Maybe it is just my group of friends and the fact that I live on the east coast but I hardly no anyone who had kids before 30.

  • I originally didn't want to have a baby until I was closer to 30.  But, when we found out about my endo, we started trying right before I turned 23.  I am almost 25 now and just got my BFP.  So, it is a bit sooner than our plan right when we got married.
  • I never really thought too much about the age thing... I did want to have my 1st baby before I turned 30, and DD was born about 5 months before my 30th birthday, so at least I succeeded there!

  • I wanted to get married out of college and have a honeymoon baby at 23.

    In reality, I got married at 36 and had Alana at 40.

  • 24 was my goal, 26 was my reality.

  • 24...we got married when I was 23, and started TTC a few months after we got married... we had planned to have all of our bio kids before I was 30 (3 or 4). I had DD a 27.

  • Plan:  Wait 5 years after the wedding (putting me at 28).  We changed that plan when I got a diagnosis and knew it would be difficult.  Started trying at 23, pregnant at 25.  We are on the track to be done my the time I am 30, which is fine with me!

  • Wanted to be pregnant by 28 but it turned out that I hadn't even met my husband by then!

    Revised plan was 32.  Actual was 34, almost 35. 

    Our IF journey: 1 m/c, 1 IVF with only 3 eggs retrieved yielding Dylan and a lost twin, 1 shocker unmedicated BFP resulting in Jace, 3 more unmedicated pregnancies ending in more losses.
    Total score: 6 pregnancies, 5 losses, 2 amazing blessings that I'm thankful for every single day.
  • I got married at 27 wanted to be pg at 28, got pg at 29 and delivered 2 days before my 30th birthday.
  • wanted to be 30, then 31/32 (since I just got married) now I'll be 34

  • As a kid, I thought I would have my first when I was 26 because that is what my mom did.  I got married at 26 while in graduate school, so our decision was that we would start trying right after I graduated (when I would be 29).  I went off the pill at 28 to see how my cycle was, never got a cycle, so we started treatment right away.

    I ended up getting pregnant 2 months after my graduation, so right about when we had originally planned.  I'll be 30 on April 10 so fairly soon after my boys are born.

  • I didn't meet my H until I was 34, so I had hoped to be pg by 37... I will be 39 next week... and beta a few days later!
    3 yrs ttc, 3ivfs, 4 iuis and finally a baby boy! And then a girl to follow. 2 under 2!
  • We started trying when we got married and I was 27....had my son when I had just turned 33.
  • since I got married at 21 I thought 25 sounded like a good age.  But then we decided to start trying earlier.  In the end I was 25 when pg and gave birth.
    Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever!

  • I always wanted to have all of my babies by the time I turned 30.  We started trying when I was 28 and I'm now pregnant at 30.  I'm now really hoping that I'm 31 when the babies are born because I turn 31 in March and I'm due in April.  So hope they don't arrive before my birthday because I want to keep them cooking as long as possible!

  • Didn't meet DH until I was 31. Started trying when I was 32, didn't have DS until I was 35.

  • Married at 24, waited until 25 to start really trying (we didn't use BC during that year), I'll have our babies a month or two before my 28th birthday.  We wanted to have 2-3 kids and be done before I was 30, so we'll still hit that, just all with one pregnancy instead of 2-3 singles. 

    We don't plan to use BC after I pass the safe time period after birth either.  Our chances of getting pregnant on our own are less than 1%, so we probably won't have another child, but we would certainly be happy if I were able to get pregnant again (hopefully with a singleton to avoid PTL again).

  • I wanted to be pg when I was 25. Ended up PG at 28 and had her at 29. I had said that I wanted to be done having babies by 30.
  • For most of my young adult/adult life, I pictured having kids starting between 26 and 30.  I didn't get married till I was nearly 32 and we started trying right away but didn't have our first one till I was 35 and our second when I was 37.  I always pictured 2 kids but it still bums me out a bit that my AMA is partly why we are firm that we're done with two (well, that and finances).  Sometimes I think I'd like a third ... and a fourth!

  • I actually wanted to be pg right around my age now 28-29. I wanted to be married for a few years before having children.
  • It depends.  I thought back in highschool/college days that I would be married by 25 and have a child by 30.  But my career took me abroad and traveling 80% of the year for 12 years.... well marriage and children were not a priority or on my mind until I reached 30.  I married at 32 and we started TTC at 36.  Thanks to IVF, pregnant at 37, will give birth at 38.

  • I got married at 22 (almost 23)

    I wanted to be pregnant the, but got my BFP about 2 weeks before 24.

  • I wanted to get married by 25, 26 and have 2 kids by 30 (and a third in my early 30s).  When my first engagement ended when I was 25, I was just hoping to be married by 30ish and have a few kids while still in my early 30s.  At 35 I got my endo dx, was going to have surgery and possibly lose one or both ovaries (ended up losing just one) and did an IVF cycle w/donor sperm to freeze embryos for future use (no transfer) since I still wasn't married (and turns out those embryos were no good and never should have been frozen per another clinic I went to later).  Finally got married at 37, did a few IUIs and an FET w/above-mentioned embryos, didn't work and got pg at 38 w/IVF w/donor eggs.  I had just turned 39 when my twins were born.  Way, way, way later than I wanted.
  • Wanted to have my kids in my late 20's.  Had my first when 21, then it took a while to find a good man...had second at 37.  Would love to have another before 40 but that is not looking so good
  • I didn't really have an age goal.  I wanted to be financially secure and in a stable relationship and married.  When I found out we'd have issues, we went ahead and started trying (I was barely 20, DH was 22).  I got pregnant at 21. 
  • I got married at age 26 and was hoping to be pregnant by 29.  Unfortunately it didn't happen until age 32.  Better late than never, though!
  • I wanted to be married at 22, first child at 24 and second child at 28.  I married at 24 and both children at 29.  I guess I wasn't that far off

  • I had originally wanted kids by the time I was 24. I dont think I gave much thought to the fact that I wouldnt graduate college until I was 22 and then lived at home when I graduated to save money to buy a house with DH (who at the time was just my BF). So, I ended up getting married when I was 26 and had DS1 5 days after my 28th birthday and had DS2 when I was 29.
  • Wanted to be 30 when I got pregnant.  Considering I wasn't even dating anyone when I turned 30 that pretty much put a wrench in my have a baby plan.  Actually got pregnant at 37.
