[quote=Anonymous]Dear OP, I had my first baby six weeks before my 43rd bday. He's now two. His brother came two and half months before my 45th bday. Both conceived naturally. The earlier you try, the better. Obviously, the risks are greater with so-called "geriatric pregnancies", but you're definitely not too old. Our children are thriving, but we are sometimes a bit tired. The upside is that I know I'm a much more patient mother than I would have been ten or twenty years ago. Plus, I was able to do everything I wanted to do, travel the world, have an interesting job etc, so I don't have that sense of regret younger moms sometimes get about being saddled with kids. I even have friends who've even done IVF at 46. It's not easy, the risks are higher, but it's definitely manageable. I'm grateful every day for my kids even though it may mean I'll be using a walker at their college graduation.[/quote]
