Has anyone been unsuccessful having children after 30 and wish they would have tried when they were younger?

Question

just curious. my sister is approaching 30, and is worried about fertility. she is still single and unsure of her best option.

Answer 1

My mother had my sister at 40 and myself at 41 (11 months apart).  We are both perfectly healthly.  She says she is glad she waited until later in life because it was so much more special for her.  She did not think she would be able to have us at her age so we are her little gifts from God.

As far as being single at 30....My mother didn't marry my father until she was 37 and they dated 4 years prior to that.  She has still got time.  Plus the doctors can do so much now with fertility.  Hope this helps.

Answer 2

her best option is to ask a doctor about it but if she is healthy she should be fine

Answer 3

I'm 19 and I have a 2yr old little boy and i'm so glad i've had him young and i have So many reasons for feeling that way but my reasons are not going to help you in any way.

Answer 4

I had 2 kids in my early 20's and am now remarried and going to try again at 30.  There are pro's and con's to having kids at 20.  Sure, you will be a young mom and more fertile, but I think I have grown up so much and think 30 is the best age to have children even though I wouldn't change having my others at 20 either.  I don't think fertility can change that much over 10 years.  She's still young.... 30 is the new 20!
