Im 30, my partner of 5.5 years is 35. I've never considered myself maternal, never had much to do with children and it was never something I felt in a rush to do or even do at all. We actually talked quite quickly about having children together but we were both studying at the time and I knew I wanted to do further study before feeling financially stable enough to consider going part time after having a kid/kids. I finish my course in October. I came off birth control in Jan 2013 and actively started TTC the following month. A year went by and no bfp. My partner told me not to worry, it'd be fine but I wanted to get checked our just in case. Had bloods done in March 13 which showed I was ovulating. I then began trying to persuade my partner to have a semen analysis but he was resistive despite me giving him facts from the nhs website/nice guidance, saying once/if we get to 2 years he'd see his doctor, which resulted in all sorts of arguments.
