I had a bit of a quarter life crisis when I was 29. I just needed to step back and see where I have been in life and see where I wanted to be going, and it was a realization that present day wasn't the same as it was for past generations, I never did the whole get married young and start having kids while getting a job that was more career based.
Though looking back on it, I am happy where I am in life today and happy I didn't do the whole get married young and start having kids right away, and I have had the time to really adapt myself to this world when it comes to my career choices.
LOL, every 29 year old thinks they can just scoop up a man and plop a few kids when the mood suits them. Of course, those people I know who thought that way are 38 and older and now unable to effectively have children.
Good luck with that pursuit. I was lucky to have excellent insurance to ensure wifey could get pregnant.

Actually I am getting married, we are planning on trying to have a baby after that, and I am currently working on a career, so the pursuit has been going well for me.

Good luck with the planning part. Most 30 somethings have infertility problems and many do not make it past that due to the high cost of IUI and IVF, even with coverage. Fortunately, we lucked out being able to do natural but past 29 I wouldn't count on success so soon.

Huh?
Most of my friends had their kids in their 30s and most of them did not do any treatments (some did, but most did not).

Then that must be no one I know because there are a ton of my friends in their 30s having babies right now.

You don't know what treatments they had to go through, and they will either lie to you because they are ashamed or want to keep it private from you. Perhaps early 30's but mid to late 30's is low to nil without mucho dinero assistance. But hey, keep going by anecdotal evidence and ignore your OBGYN when they tell you to make sure you get your first child before you're 30 or you're going to regret it.

I know most of the damn old folks here don't give a but there are some of us who weren't coddled as kids but are not immune to feeling discouraged about their chances in the world especially with the employment and education situation today. I have a Bachelor's degree in a decent major but I'm trying to break into another field with better employment prospects and am currently trying to get into grad school. So technically I'm doing something about my situation.
But please continue with the millennial bashing. I am just a stupid 24 year old kid so what do I know?
Helicopter Parents are solely responsible for this predicament.
An industry colleague of mine takes/makes at least 10 phone calls per day to/from her college age kid. It nauseates me to the point where I've came "this close" to saying something. But its not my place.
I guarantee you there are a number of Helicopter Parents right here on this forum. It's an epidemic.
Then that must be no one I know because there are a ton of my friends in their 30s having babies right now.
Mid to late will be difficult or impossible, but hey I only had OBGYNs and fertility specialists telling my wife this. What do they know?
