[quote=Anonymous][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]

Please don't do this.  I used to think the same way until I got pregnant, naturally, at almost 47.[/quote]

+1. Absolutely insane not to use BC at 43 if you don't want to become pregnant. My obgyn was very clear on this - the demo she sees a lot is moms of 2 who don't take precautions and end up in her office having baby 3 or terminating.

My grandmothers both had babies at 42 and 43, in the 1950s after 5 and 6 kids they weren't using IVF LOL. My one grandmother got pregnant again at 46 and miscarried.

That is always in my head - at 47 I know it's unlikely I would get pregnant and not miscarry but I don't want to deal with a miscarriage! My mirena is staying in.

The bottom line: women at 43 should not assume they will get pregnant, we know it's not common, but you certainly shouldn't assume you can't get pregnant.[/quote]

I'm the PP.   At 43 she should absolutely use BC.  I'll be 50 in a few months and I'll probably stop BC then as it will begin to strain credulity.  But at 43 I would 100% stay vigilant.  I learned the hard way I couldn't relax at 46!![/quote]
