Last chance but would it be a mistake?

For many years I longed for a second child and my ex husband point blank refused.
After 17 years together I discovered he had been unfaithful all long and I divorced him.
To make it worse he broke my heart by taking my only child with him and I hardly see her now due to the distance.
I am in a wonderful relationship now and we are both financially stable. We both have good jobs and have raised children.
My new partner knows the loss I feel and how much I wanted another anyway and he has now said he would happily try for a baby together 😮

Problem is I am 44 next month. I have a coil fitted and I am just don’t know what to do?
This is my last chance of being a happy mother and having a family which I miss so much, but I also love my life with my new partner, we are approaching mid forties and have the freedom and money to go on heat holidays as enjoy each other.
I don’t know what to do and need to make my mind up quick

If you don't try will you regret it? If yes, then have the coil removed.

^ I'd do that too. Everything else is out if your control.

I would give it a go . Chances are you won’t get pregnant but if you don’t try you’all never know what might have been

DS2 was born when I was 44. It's possible.

Age isn't a problem but it sounds like you are trying to replace your existing child rather than putting more effort into seeing her.

No I’m not trying to replace her.
I have wanted a second child for more than 10 years but was in an unhappy adulteress marriage and didn’t want to ‘just get pregnant’ when I knew it wasn’t right and my ex didn’t want it.
Definitely now that my dd has moved away with her dad it has made me even more sad.
I am lucky that I have a new partner and this chances
