I was 27 when my oldest was born. It took about a year including fertility treatments to get pregnant the first time, but I've had no trouble getting pregnant since then.
I wanted to do it before 32. I read some statistics about fertility identifying certain ages of "drops" in fertility. First one at 27, second at 32 etc. I don't remember the rest I was past 27. However, I didn't get pregnant until I was 33. I tried for 4 months after being on the pill for 17 years.

Almost 28. I did have trouble, but I have PCOS. I somehow had no trouble conceiving my second.
I'm almost 30 now and close to delivering again, and recently my OB told me I was the youngest patient she had all day. You are definitely not getting too old for a baby!

I had both my kids before I was 18. Obviously they were both unplanned. I never had anymore after that. I think it would have been nice to have actually planned for a pregnancy at some point in my life, it just never happened.
21. I had just had a laparoscopy to remove one blocked Fallopian tube and burn stage 2-3 endometriosis. He was a BIG suprise baby that was conceived the same month as my first cycle in 12 months.
We are planning to begin TTC #2 this fall. I will be 24-25 for #2.

I was 20 when I got pregnant and had trouble getting pregnant. It took about a year. We knew we were going to have trouble and started fertility treatments shortly after getting married. It took us 4 years to get pregnant again. I was 25 when I got pregnant with this baby.
Had my first 2 days after I turned 28, did not have fertility issues. Had my second when I was 30, did not have fertility issues with my second either. I did not chart with either, DS was a "let's just see what happens" kid. DD was a total HOLY SHIT, OOPS!
FWIW, my BFF had her first at 32 and her second at 35, no fertility issues.
28. We ttc'd for 10 months, began preventing while I focused instead on weight watchers/the gym, and four months/-40lbs later I miscalculated my fertile window and here we are.
How old were you when you had your first kid? Did you have any trouble getting pregnant? I was 30 for pg + delivery. It took us 12 cycles of trying. I was getting ready to have 'the talk' with my OB/GYN about tracking and all that fun stuff when it finally happened.
We'll try again at prob 33 or 34 when DS is 3-4. That way I only have to pay for 1 in DC at a time! Totes $$MM.
