TTC Age?

kiki4 · August 2010

If you are old at 31 then I am ancient at 39.

astack86 · August 2010

I just turned 24 last Friday and DH is 27.

Nope, I think you are both ridiculous, PPC just is more visual Stick out tongue

Me-28

Hope to start TTC in Jan.

iluvmylab · August 2010

I am 27 and DH just turned 28.

emmypants · August 2010

I'm 25 and H is 31. We are ttc number one.

forensicmama · August 2010

Waiting to TTC #2 - I'll be 26 in October and my hubby already is 26. You're not old at all. Quite young, actually.

I saw this too on TBPS and it really pissed me off. I'll be 34 next month and this is our first cycle TTC. I didn't have my "chance" until now. Should I have gotten KU by some random drunken one night stand when I was 22? No, I decided to get 2 masters degrees, have a job I enjoy, fall in love, get married and and have a stable household before TTC. My "chance" is NOW!

Baby4OT · August 2010

I was 27 when I started TTC my first child, got pg at 28 after TTC 10 months, and had her at 29. I had DD2 when I was 31 after TTC for 11 months. I am now 33 and plan to start TTC #3 later this fall. DH is four years older than I am.

Ella85 · August 2010

I don't think that is too old to start trying. Althought TBPS may disagree with me

I'm 25 and DH is 27. We started earlier than we orginally wanted to because I have PCOS and my Dr. says we need to try for a year before medical intervention.

heatherinokla · August 2010

I'm 31 too.

katiesue55419 · August 2010

Hmmm... many of the replies are reassuring me, too! I figured there weren't so many Bumpies around the same age as me TTC #1- I just turned 32 and DH just turned 27 and we're going for our first.

liz_t · August 2010

Hi.

I turn 30 in December and my husband is 31. We plan on starting TTC in the next few months.

Only two of my friends have children (they both have one year olds)

I wonder if the correlation between age and having your first child has anything to do with where you are from? I live in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale area and in my (pretty wide) social circle, it is virtually unheard of for someone younger than 25 to have babies.

I'm not saying that there is a "right" or "wrong" age - just an observation.

brookelynpaisley · August 2010

I was almost 29 when we started TTC a few months ago. I want to hopefully have 2 before I turn 35, based on risk factors.

Melissa2216 · August 2010

I just turned 31 last Thursday, and I feel kind of old also. I hadn't really gotten used to being 30 yet! DH is 30, and we've been trying since Feb. Ideally, I'd like to have 2 kids by the time I'm 35. We'll see how that goes!

tislay84 · August 2010

Definitely don't think you are old to be TTC - DH and I are 26 now and plan to start TTC in October.

Kpetty1010 · August 2010

you're not too old at all

Im 24 and DH is 25 and we are trying for our 1st

SeptemberBride'08 · August 2010

I'm 29 and DH is 30

soontobemrsdavis · August 2010

I am 30 I'll be 31 in October, Syn is 28(29 in a week), Just starting(kinda) to TTC. He is fine with me not getting pregnant for at least 8 more months. I'm ready now! That's what I get for marrying a youngin LOL

SassyBookWorm · August 2010

I'm 26, DH is 28. We're TTC#2, our DD is almost 6. Age is all relative

byrne15 · August 2010

I'm almost 27 and DH is 31

gracegirl12 · August 2010

I'm 27 and DH is 33. TTC #1

ohfour · August 2010

Practically geriatric.

Haha.

A lot of people don't wait until they are 30 to TTC, but a lot do. I think we have a variety of ages on the board. You fit in perfectly age wise, don't worry. The perfect age to TTC is when you feel your family is ready.

kellygksu · August 2010

I'm almost 34, DH is 35. TTC #1.

bethvb16 · August 2010

25

I have noticed this too, Brianna. I live in a suburb of New York City, and virtually all of my friends have put off having kids until when they are where they want to be in their careers. I have good friends who are 32+ who have been married for a few years and are just now planning their families-they wanted to establish a certain amount of financial/ career stability first. Also, I have read that there is a correlation between level of education attained and putting off childbearing...women with graduate/ professional degrees tend to start families later.

I am pretty sure I am the youngest on the board right now at 21, nearly 22.
I thought I was the youngest reg. I'm 22.
ETA: That kinda sounds bad. Oh well...

I'm 23.

cas889 · August 2010

I'm 31 and just started TTC #1. DH is 27.

Bunniehug · August 2010

I'll be 26 next week Sad

DH will be 30 in October. DH always said he wanted a baby by the time he turned 30. Oops...maybe we should have started trying over a year ago?! LOL

mrstran021310:
I don't think so. I'm 27 and DH is 34 and we are trying for our first. I honestly don't really see age as a big deal. We are all here because we are ttc.

DH and I are the same ages! You are not too old at all!

punkymama · August 2010

I turn 33 on Monday and DH turns 41 in March, we are TTC #1. I think that "old" is a state of mind Stick out tongue

I think there's a mixture of ages on the board but on the weekends it gets a little slow.
