Want baby but worried

My boyfriend and I have been talking about having a baby sometime next year but I'm worried that it will be hard for me to get pregnant due to me waiting until I'm in my 30s to have a baby. Is it true that its harder to get pregnant in your 30s then your 20s?

Female fertility is absolutely affected by age.  A woman's fertility peaks in their early to mid 20s and starts to slowly decline after that.  At 35, there is a huge drop.  

If you want to get pregnant, try for about a year and then see a doctor if there are no results.  Sometimes, it can just take time.

Good luck! :)

Not sure where you heard that...but no its not based off of age but the woman...i have friends in their 20's that have to go through fertility treatment because they cant get pregnant...its really based off the person...in my opinion that question cant be answered off of age especially being that you are on a post where women are 35+ and pregnant
