The 'Desperate Housewives' star was so keen to start a family with new husband Tom Mahoney she persuaded him to forgo their romantic break and start fertilisation treatments.
She said: "We decided to skip our honeymoon and try in vitro after the wedding. I had already been through infertility treatments.
"It's very, very difficult to get pregnant in your 40s. It's costly and tough on your body and your relationship."
The 45-year-old actress - who gave birth to fraternal twin girls Eden and Savannah last year - is considering adoption because she doesn't want to put her body through another IVF procedure.
She said: ""I don't think I'll have any more kids, but I'm not 100 per cent sure we won't adopt."
Marcia - who tied the knot in June 2006 - also revealed she wishes she had become a mother earlier in her life, because she wants to spend as much time with her girls as possible.
She added to Health magazine: "I wish that I'd had my girls in my 30s. Then I could be around longer for them. But they're an incentive for me to stay healthy, take care of myself, and live as long as possible."
