34 for my first, 37 for my second; no problems either time.
I know I'm considered an "older" mom around most parts, but funny enough when I was pregnant with my first, all my colleagues were telling me how good it was that I was starting early and having kids while I was young. Most were MDs doing a visiting fellowship from another country and they all chose to put off having kids until they were more established in their careers, so to them I was young.

I'm inches behind @damnation-- I turned 42 a couple of weeks after E was born. I wouldn't say we had trouble-- I had a prior m/c but this pregnancy was uneventful. We weren't really trying but let the chips fall where they may.
I was 27 when I had my daughter. I'll be 31 when I have this one. I didn't have any trouble getting pregnant either time. I got pressured to have kids right after I got married and I shut that down pretty quickly. My husband and I were married for 3.5 years before we had our daughter and that was the perfect amount of time.

I was 32 when #1 was born. It did take 12 months/14 cycles to conceive, but according to my charts and initial fertility testing there were no problems. Statistically, somebody has to take longer and I was one of the lucky ones I guess.
FWIW, it only took 9 months to conceive #2 (she was born when I was 35), and I *did* have problems...irregular cycles and LP defect. So go figure.
