39 definitely not anywhere near too old! Lots of mums having babies then and in the next 3-4 years.
47 year old husband should be fine as long as he's on board!
Good luck @Weeshorty07

Just crack on!!!

my FiL was nearly 60 when he started his 2nd family.

lots of mums are first time mums in their 40s

obvs you don’t know your reproductive health status so if it was me I wouldn’t wait around.

best of luck!! Ignore the naysayers
