41 and TTC again...too old ???

[kalou1972]

Hi ladies. I'm a veteran on BnB but haven't posted for ages !!

We have been trying TTC since I was 39...but things kept getting in the way (8mnths recovery after car accident...recovery after liver surgery and now OH having 3rd op ) soo....I am now 41 but still want a mother baby so my ds isn't an only child.

Question is....am I now too old to be TTC again ???

Xxxx

personally I dont think so.
I am 42 and ttc at the moment. My LO is 17 months
unfortunately Im still waiting for the return of AF (as still BFing) so who knows if it will ever happen for us.
good luck xx

A lot of women have babies in their early 40s. If you are in good health and know you want another, you should go for it. You'll never know until you try. Best of luck!

No way im 43 good luck too you hope you get your bfp soon

I do not think you are too old. I'm 40 and just found out I'm pregnant. I do think its very possible for ladies to get pregnant in their 40's you just need to watch your body more closely because fertility cycle is different.

I do not think you are not too old to TTC. I know a lot of ladies that have gotten pregnant over 40 myself included. You need to watch your fertility signs a little bit closer because once you are in 40's it changes some. I want to wish you good luck and hope it does not take you long to conceive.

It's such a personal thing, it only really matters what you, your DH and your dr. think. I know some people thought I was too old to get pg at 35! I don't think 41 is too old. If you want to have another and you feel healthy and up for it, then go for it! Good luck!

I'm 40 next week and I'm almost 11 weeks along with my first! I have a friend who is having her fourth and she's 43. I SAY GO FOR IT! 41 is still good to go.

I think go for it I am 38 years old and newly pregnant after a 5 year wait between kids. I live in an area where lots if girls have their kids right out of high school, so I do feel old, but I know some women in my family and family history who've had babies into their mid forties, so I did feel confident it would happen and (knock on wood) after 5 months of TTC it has. I was a little worried about how old I'll be when the LO graduates but my husband just told me my stat is to live until 91 (and his was 87!). So if I do I will have lots of time to see grandchildren

You aren't too old, no way. I'm 44 and will be 45 in August. I found out I am pregnant on July 14th. Baby dust and never stop hoping.
