  Agreed.  I am 37 about to be 38 and DH just turned 40.  I guess my cut off should have been 2 years ago, lol!

  I don't really have a cut-off age. I just knew I didn't want to have kids before 30.

  I don't have an official cutoff age.  I always figured I'd be done by mid-late 30s, but since I just turned 33 and I'm still not pregnant, I figure my cutoff age is out the window.  At least DH is 3 years younger than me.  I'd like 2 kids, so hopefully that can still happen by age 40.  If not, I'll probably move the cutoff age again because I want kids.

  This "when will you stop trying thing?" drives me up the wall as much as "what month do you want to have your baby in?" and "how far would you go to get KU?"

  Predicting what you think you may or may not do in the future is useless. Because you don't know until you get there.

  I completely agree with you Cathy.  It's so easy to throw out a random number when you're so early in the process.  I'm sure prior to my divorce and year+ of IF, I could have easily thrown out a number as well.  I guess I'm going to be one of those "old" mothers that some turn up their noses at.

  Yea I have a cut off age... 35.. I have been telling myself for years that I want to be done having kids by the time I was 35. My mom was 41 when she had me and I just dont want to be an older mom. That said it might change as I am quickly heading towards that age. We are ttc #2 and its taking a bit longer than I hoped. If I dont get pregnant this cycle or next I will be 34 when I give birth. Eventhough I already have one I still hear that clock ticking...luckly we only want to have one more!

  32 

  I want 3...maybe 4. I'm 26 now and have 1. I would love to have my second when I'm 28, third when I'm 30 and 4th when I'm 32. Wouldn't it be nice if life worked out that way?

  LMAO. When we started trying out first child would have been when I was 26.

  Pushing 29 and no child.

  Good luck with that. Hopeully you don't have shitty luck.

   

  That's why I put a smily face. I know life doesn't turn out the way we plan. My brother is 6 yrs older than me. My parents definitely didn't plan that. I was "supposed" to be born 3 years earlier. 

  I'm sorry if I came across as insensitive. I really didn't mean to at all. Best of luck to you!

  You are all so very, very young.  It must have been nice to meet your soul mate at age 23.  Unfortunately, that option was not open to me and I will have to live with my 30 something eggs.
