Do you have an age cut off for TTC

[goddess25]

I am about to be 41 at the end of this month and have been TTC for 3 cycles this is our 3rd cycle so in the TWW as we speak. My husband has been on and off about making his decision to keep trying. He tells me that at 41 we need to stop. I said i would happily try for another few months before quitting.

Did you all decide to try till a certain age or basically keep trying until it happens.

I have 3 lovely young children and would like one more to complete our family but very worried about all the increased risks etc. I didnt start having babies until i was almost 35 with #1.

My friend had her fourth at 43 and had no problems. I say if it makes you happy and you feel your body can handle it then why not?

Hi, I'm 44 this year, my partner is 49 & were trying again...... I've got a 6 year old daughter and I've had an ectopic, 4 mc & 1 mmc...... This is my last year at trying... so fingers crossed for my big fat BFP....

We started TTC when I was 38 I always said I would stop TTC at 42, this year though I decided I will not give up on my dream and will keep trying till menopause hits me, so I am taking a large amount of folate, ubiquinol and pycnogenol for egg health and the plan is to keep trying IUI this year and if no luck then next year were doing IVF with donor eggs or possibly embryo adoption.

I turned 41 yesterday and currently 2 days late however I think I am entering menopause. Had some blood work recently and its totally off, waiting to see my GP to discuss the results.
