I'm 31 and DP is 38 and we are trying for our first. Sometime DP talks along the lines of us leaving it too late...which obviously makes me anxious!

We were both 35. No problem..came off pill, pregnant in 3 months.
Same at 39.

DomesticCEO · 15/02/2013 19:06

Both 30 when started TTC, 36 when DS1 was born Sad.

But we're the exception not the rule.

DS2 came along a year later when we weren't even trying! Grin

Good luck!

I'm also 31 and am 12 weeks pg, we were ttc for 18 months. Dh is 40 and would have started ttc much earlier, but it's got to be right for both of you, and 31 still feels young to me! Try not to be anxious, there is sooooooo much stuff to potentially worry about, but if you can just relax and enjoy it all! Good luck

Started TTC when I was 32 and DH 35,pg within 2 months and DS born when we were 33 & 36. DD born 2 weeks after my 36th birthday and DH was 38 ( we'd also fit pg within 2 months but had a mc but then got pg again the cycle after ) I would like another before I'm 40 but this is not currently a shared plan Wink
You have plenty of time!!!

dondon33 · 15/02/2013 19:38

I've got older DC but this is the first time TTC and with a different partner

I'm 34 and dp is 31 (another with a toyboy) :)
It's our first month trying and we've just completed the erm.... 'job' Blush :) so now the 2ww awaits us to see if we're lucky enough for success first try.

Try not to be too anxious OP, it's not too late. Good luck!

I was 33/ ttc and 34/ pg 1st time, DP 37/38 - conceived 1st cycle, actually on the day we decided to try... Now upduffed with no. 2, conceived when I was 35, will be 36 when deliver, (DP 39/ 40), conceived 2nd cycle but then I was bfing (still am) when we conceived. We think we must be very well matched and outrageously lucky.

Beatrixpotty · 15/02/2013 20:02

36 when DC1 born,DH 39.Now I'm 39 and just about to have DC3.Got pregnant the quickest (1st attempt at TTC) this time.Age is definitely on your side if you are 31.Good luck

lastboxoftampons · 15/02/2013 20:29

I was a little over 31 when we started TTC the first time, and nearly 33 when DS was born. This time started TTC when I just over 35, still not pregnant yet and I'm 36.5 Sad

auntilin · 15/02/2013 20:40

23 & 26 respectively. ttc 2 cycles.

3littlewomen · 15/02/2013 20:40

First DC born when I was 23 and DP 25 - we were not TTC! DC5 due just after my 40th in a few months!

NorthernLurker · 15/02/2013 20:44

clarycat · 15/02/2013 20:44

I was 31 (DH 41), on the pill, and I believe we started ttc in the October. Fell pregnant with twins around February time, gave birth when I was 32, DH 42.

MrsSiba · 15/02/2013 20:58

I was 34 and DP 38 when we started trying.

MyNameIsAnAnagram · 15/02/2013 21:04

Started ttc when I was 34 and him 33, born when I was 36 and him 35. No two now due, I'm 38.

YorkshireTeaDrinker · 15/02/2013 22:02

Started TTC at 32. 34 when DD arrived. Now TTCing #2, 35 when we started, now 37. Everything taking much longer than we planned!

ISpyPlumPie · 15/02/2013 22:11

I was 29 (by a week!) and DH was 34 when DS1 was born - were TTC for 8 months.

I was 32 and DH was 37 when DS2 was born - TTC for 2 months.

Good luck Smile.

peacefuleasyfeeling · 15/02/2013 22:35

I was 34 and DP 44 when we started TTC DC1, and luckily we conceived quickly (2nd cycle, on my 35th birthday). This time, I'm 38 and DP is 48, I'm 22 weeks pregnant, and it was equally straight forward this time.
We left it quite late and have been lucky to have such an easy time of conceiving.

pod3030 · 15/02/2013 22:39

i was 39, stbxp 43
