TTC during perimenopause

[SprinkleSomeMagicMyWay]

I am desperately broody for a child but very concerned about ttc at my age.

I am 47 and, I believe, in perimenopause. I have 2 DC already. Every time I see another baby or young child I imagine having one of my own. I think about it constantly. I think my 2 would love it if I had another. However the fact of my age makes me hold back and has done for several years. I remember thinking how embarrassed I would have felt to be pregnant in my early 40s. But looking back I regret not giving it a go. My Dh doesn't mind either way.

Is anyone else in this situation? How did you reach a decision? Or did you just live with the broodiness (and disappointment)?

@Sprinklesomemagicmyway - there is a great really active 40+ TTC thread on this board - I’d recommend you join it 😊you’ll receive lots of support there.

I second what critter says. Come and join us on the 40+ thread, there are some around your age (and slightly older!) Still holding out hope.
I am only 41 but am in confirmed perimenopause (fsh of 18.4) had a bfp a few months ago, unfortunately miscarried, but holding out hope now that I know a bfp is still possible in perimenopause

Thanks for the advice ladies... have had a brief look at that thread but hadn't realised that anyone was perimenopausal. Duh! See you there.
