Is there anyone out there who has had their first baby after 35 and can answer some questions and concerns?

I’m 34 and I don’t feel now is a good time to become pregnant. I’ve been dating the same guy for over 7 years but we’ve been living apart lately and have been having problems. We are both financially unstable. I have some personal issues that I need to work on before considering pregnancy. I am adopted and I really want a part of me, does that make sense? I know no one w/ the same genes or that has my hair, my nose, my laugh, you get the picture. I’ve been told that I may have endometrosis but I can’t do anything about it because of the cost. I know if I wait much longer that I will have to have fertility treatment which is so costly and I can’t afford it. Is it possible to have your first child at 40? I feel in 5 years that I may be ready. Or should I just try to get pregnant now? I really need advice. My Mom said if I got pregnant that she wouldn’t help but I KNOW she would but it’s not fair since she’s 67 and already helping me!
