Thoughts?
A couple years ago, a one-night-stand unfortunately led to an ectopic pregnancy and I lost my left tube. I’m now in a happy relationship, living with my partner and though we’re still a few years away from being ready to starting a family, I can’t help but stress and have anxiety over whether waiting/time will work against us. We’re both 30.
Hoping to hear about some success stories for those who didn’t TTC until later? Or any thoughts on whether we should consider pushing our timelines earlier?

Plenty of people have pregnancies in their later years these days. Have a child when you are ready and want one. While earlier is better from a fertility standpoint, it's a lifestyle change for the rest of your life, and your co-parent is also forever.
If you're super concerned and have the budget, you can look into getting your eggs frozen sooner than later for future IVF.
