16 with the first, 28 second, 50 with the 3rd.
I didn't want any but I was blessed inspite of my misguided wishes.

I've never had a kid

But, I'm not a Muslim
​

My oldest daughter however, was born when I was 25

I realized I turned 30 yesterday, and have had bad luck trying to have a kid.

Was getting a little worried that I'm getting older, and the chances of having a kid may decrease.

38.

You are still a young'un. There is plenty of time still on the clock. The "right" time is whenever it happens for you and your wife.

Happy birthday, by the way!

I think Tony Randall fathered his last child when he was 80.

I had a friend who had been involved in a terrible car accident while pregnant and miscarried as a result. Doc's told her she'd never have another child. 6 years later, she carried her second daughter full term. Belle is a healthy, happy, and very intelligent young lady of 13 now. Sometimes, there are forces beyond our understanding at work.

I was worried that this was the point of your thread. Listen, you're going to have a kid or twelve in due time. Stressing about it will only lengthen that time. Like I said, I had my first kid at twenty, but I didn't tell you my wife had a five and two year old. Her husband had died, we hit it off, and the rest is history. Yay for me, three kids by twenty, right? One of the harder things we had to work through was the fact that we didn't get the time to get to really know each other and enjoy each others company, we had three children that demanded that time. In twenty years of marriage, we've never had a honeymoon, we haven't even had a vacation away from our kids. As they got older, my wife and I realized we knew every detail about our kids, but we hardly knew each other which led to a lot of stress between the two of us.

All I'm saying is, there's two ways to look at your situation and stress isn't going to give you the best outcome. I hope I'm not sounding like a jerk, because I'm not meaning to.
