Age Gap - Success Stories v Negative Stats!

[Jett99]

Hi there :) My partner and I have been talking about having children for a while, but we're starting to talk a lot more seriously about when we are going to start trying. However, when we do, I will be 22 and he will be 39. I have a step-daughter, so we already know he can have children, but that was over seven years ago. I've read in a few places that it can be a lot harder when the woman is

I really wouldn't worry about it, I can't think of any reason why your ages would effect things, especially as its the man who is older. Men can still reproduce until well into old age.

My mum and dad had 16 years between them my mum was 25 and my dad was 41 I was their first and they had my brother 3 years later. No problem for them :)
