Would I be too old to have a child?

I am currently 32 and getting married next year. If all goes to plan we would have a child when I am 34. DP is 4 years older then me so that would make him 38.

Here is the problem. We would like more then one child. He is very close to his siblings and I spend my childhood wishing I had them. Two would be ideal if it was one of each but have considered having a third to balance it out (or at least try). The problem is that I could be in my 40 to early 40s to have a child and DP will be mid to late. Will this be too late? I do somewhat kick myself leaving it so late.

There are 4 years between my DC and I wish I had TTC with DS sooner

Had been trying for a baby for 8 years before a GP finally referred us for fertility treatment. Had 3 DCs at ages 33, 35 and 37. In some ways it has been easier with the short age gaps as they are on the same routine and entertain each other as similar interests etc. Think you should just go for it OP.

Had my first and only at 41. Took 5 weeks to get pregnant.
