[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]43 is old for a new baby. I know this because I’m 43 and I’m too old for a baby. But I’m just a regular person. [/quote]

This. I'm 43 and don't bother with BC because it is so unlikely to naturally get pregnant. I am happy for Danes but the likelihood of natural pregnancies at 43+ is nil. These types of stories without mentioning repro asst are misleading to general public.[/quote]
So much misinformation in this post. My son’s first grade class had 3 moms turn 50 that year. All “normal” pregnancies (and all the third & last child in the family). [/quote]

Yeah, that post is crazy. A good friend of mine just had her second baby, a "surprise" at 43. I turn 43 in a few months and my DH and I are looking into vasectomy because at my last check up my gynecologist was like "if you are done having kids you need to keep taking birth control seriously -- your periods are still normal and regular and there are no signs of menopause, I've seen lots of women you age in my practice get pregnant at this age because they thought it couldn't happen."

I also know people who struggle to conceive in their late 30s and early 40s. But I ALSO know people who struggled to conceive in their 20s.

There is no one experience with fertility. Everyone is different and this has always been true. My grandmothers had 11 and 8 kids, respectively, and one was late 30s for the last one, the other early 40s. There's every indication that if I wanted to get pregnant now and have a baby at 43, I could do so without fertility treatments. I definitely "bother" with birth control because that's not what I want.[/quote]
