After battling with fertility for years, we were close to accepting to be child free and gave it a final try. So now I'm a 40+ parent.
I would have preferred to be in my 20s or 30s instead of 40s because the first several years children costs sleep and energy and when I look back my younger body would have handled it much better.
So my suggestion is: Make the choice sooner rather than later.
