The earlier the better in my opinion

Agree with the above. The earlier, the better

It will take some time to get everything together so you might as well start now.

Our agency stops accepting egg donors at 32 years old. I would agree with C1 that the earlier, the better. Best of luck!

Ivf is a huge expense, especially if it is not covered by your insurance. For most people, I think the cost is too burdensome and would recommend doing it closer to 35 in case you are able to conceive naturally in the next few years. Plus the extra $$ for storage fees (~1k/yr where I live) can also add up the longer you keep them in storage. If money is not an issue for you or if you have underlying health issues which may affect fertility then of course doing it earlier is better.

I have a therapist that I see twice a month and it has helped me to some extent. I feel like I’m in a general plateau.
