TTC No2 Aged 34

[BubGal13]

Hi all
I have 1 DS 1 year old and will this year think about TTC baby 2. He took 4 months to conceive, 2 months not really trying and then 2 months doing everything poss.

I turn 34 in April this year. I have a holiday in September to Spain booked and looking forward to giving DS my full attention and selfishly, also nights spent drinking very large G&Ts ...!

I was going to start TTC in June, but now wandering if I should put off a few months to be able to fully enjoy what could be my last hol without being preg (fingers crossed) for a long while and be able to fully concentrate on DS as well as drink alcohol also- which i do love doing on hol.

Is this just really stupid/selfish reasoning, and given i turn 34 i should just start TTC as soon as poss? Hol would mean i was then 34 1/2?

grateful for any thoughts or insight from own experiences/considerations when you started TTC.

Um! 34 is not ancient. I had my first at 37 so I don't think you need to worry quite yet.

No problem. Second at 41 and third at 43. Obviously as you start hitting your 40's fertility does start to drop but there is quite a big group of us 40+ ladies on here.
