No of course not, as long as you and your partner are on the same page re another baby. However, my suggestion would be to approach as just having sex and spending time together at first rather than 'trying' at first as your partner might feel a bit like Mr Rent a sperm if it's been a while! Also pressure and sleep deprivation aren't the most helpful factors to get the results you both want.

Definitely not, may not happen as quickly as you hope.

I'm 34 and trying (with no luck) for dc2 for ages.

Go for it!

YANBU as long as you both feel the same way. We had 2 DC's in 12 months! It was hard work for the first year or two, but they are very close.
I wouldn't worry too much about fertility at age 33 - I'm 42 and expecting another in July!
Good luck whatever you decide x

Thanks, everyone. tess, I agree with you about the need for no pressure sex and romance as I still want to enjoy my marriage and give DH a break from the baby whirlwind that is our lives. Let's see what shape we are all in, come December!

Personally I wouldn't want anything less than a 3 year gap, but it's up to you! Your fertility isn't going to massively decline between 34 and 35, I doubt you have to rush.

Good luck
