Yes. I was 28 when I conceived Ds1 and I had been married for 4 months. It would have been nice to enjoy more time together travelling without kids before we started breeding. Tbh I didn't expect to conceive within 2 months of coming off the pill or I would have stayed on it lol.
I'm incredibly grateful that I didn't fall pregnant when I was younger. I would have hated to miss out on my irresponsible early 20's and not seen the amazing places I travelled to. Not that I have stopped travelling but it's different in the company of children. More playgrounds lol

I'm both ends of the spectrum here. I wish we could have waited and spent more time together. I fell pregnant on our honeymoon, lost that pregnancy and then went on to conceive DD1 a couple of months later. We were married 18 months after we first started seeing each other, so it would have been lovely to have had more time together just the two of us. Given our age and my OB history, waiting just wouldn't have been advisable.
The flip side is that I wish we had met 10 years earlier so that our children could have been born 5 years earlier than they were ITMS. I have no problem with the ages now - being an older mum while not appealing to many has enormous benefits (as I'm sure does being a younger mum) - even getting 5 more years at the end of my life to enjoy my grandchildren would be wonderful.
