[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 44yo with two kids 10 and 12.    Never had trouble conceiving previously, but that was 10 years ago.    Would like to try for the third - is it too late?   IUD has been removed, would likely just see if we can make it happen naturally.   If it doesn't happen would likely not pursue IVF.

Anything to try to increase chances naturally?

I would ask yourself why you want a baby and start over?  Is it because your kids are getting older and don't "need" you as much? Are you fearful of change?  You can do so many fun and interesting things with your kids at their ages but, you won't really with a baby.    Why not figure out your next stage in your life instead of having a baby?[/quote]
I would like to know the answer as well. If this were your first kid or even if your other kids were 2 and 4, I would tell you to go for it. But your oldest kids are 10 and 12. Why start over now? Are you really prepared for starting over? Are you prepared for juggling newborn/toddler while taking your oldest to all their activities? I hope you don’t see it as having two built in babysitters. Make sure nothing is being taken away from your two oldest - like instead of saving for college, that money now has to go to daycare, etc.[/quote]
