Whoa, hold on there!
Who told you your fertility drops at age 26?
I got married at age 25 and my son was born when I was 31 y/o and honestly I wish I had waited another couple of years to have him. I was accepted into anesthesia school which is a big commitment for 36 months but my son was then 3 years old and I thought I would do better to wait until he was a bit older and he was in elementary school to pursue grad school for me. Then he had ADHD and learning disability and things didn't go as smoothly as I thought. So here I am finally have got my kid raised but now I am 54 y/o and wishing I had gone to grad school before because now I am middle aged I have less energy.
But at least I had finished my BA and we had purchased our house before darling son was born. Are you REALLY ready to have a kid? Do you live in a neighborhood with good public schools or will you use private? If I had it to do over I would use Montessori schools. Can you afford a down payment on a house now?
