[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a child just before 40, which was what I then considered the oldest age I would be comfortable with. But now I’m rethinking. How to you wrap your mind around all the variables? On the one side is everything practical— chromosomal risks and other health risks for baby and medical risks for me (I have c section scarring but am cleared to deliver again), then financial stuff and logistics like getting a bigger car and on and on… But on the other side is this feeling that I should seize this precious chance, if it is even still possible. How do people know when to move forward or move on or otherwise find peace?[/quote] You could do IVF and test for chromosomal issues. If you want another child have one. It’s that simple.[/quote] Spoken like someone that didn't go through the grueling IVF process. It's horrific and at 43 most likely shed need to do multiple egg retrieval to get even one normal embryo. [/quote]
