Brief Answer:
Better to try early

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns about trying for pregnancy.

As per fertility science, it is better to try for pregnancy early to avoid any possible problems in future. Hence as per my advice you should try for pregnancy earlier and not delay unnecessarily.

Pregnancy chances reduce after 30 years of age and hence better to try early.

Let me know if you need anymore help.
