To ask if you would have a baby at 38?

[quietmoon]

I am 38 years old. In a long term stable relationship. I have a 20 year old DS at university. My partner wants a baby next year and whilst I am not against it and do worry that I'll regret it if I don't. I'm also knackered and just want a quiet, somewhat carefree, responsibilty free future to do whatever the heck I like.

Would you start again at 38?

Not a chance.

First time poster. Long time lurker. I had my last child at 38 after a 10 year gap. I forgot how hard it was but I wouldn't be without her.

Unless you feel very strongly in favour of another child I wouldn't do it. Don't allow yourself to be pressurised into taking on a lifetime commitment unless it's what you want

Hi mayalready. I am 42 years old and ttc. Just to ask how did you concieve? They have prescribed me letrozole but have not taken it yet. I have a boy at 6years old x

Hi i am 42 years old and ttc. I have a 6 year old boy. Can i ask did you naturally got pregnant at 43 or did you have clomid

Hi ladies.. nice to read all these experiences. Can anyone help or advise me. I am 42 years old with a boy whose 6 years old. Recently my periods are all over the place. Ive not had a period since jan 2019. I am under infertility gynae did all checks for me and my husband. They found out i had endometriosis polyp which i recently got removed few weeks ago. The consultant gave me some meds to start a period then have letrozole on certain days. She told me i am not menopausal. But last week i had a blood test at gp surgery and the dr said your levels seem to high and it seems you are going through the change. But my big sister who is 44years old still has regular periods. So im so confused to what to do...please help i will be much appreciated for your views and advice xx

@Kimm123 can you start your own thread in the conception board please. As this thread is big, posters might not see your question

Yes I had one at 39 (my first) one at 40 and one at 43, All beautiful independent and intelligent girls

I'm 48 and things are changing. Still have periods but now closer, shorter and sometimes skip one. Highly likely.
