[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is 7 years older than me and was 44 and 46 when our kids were born. He's 50 now. Our 6 year old is particularly rambunctious and active and my husband keeps up very well with him. Is he tired at the end of the day? Sure, but so am I!

There are other advantages. He lived on his own for a long time, and is therefore great at cooking/cleaning etc. and is truly a hands-on dad and father who takes on at least half the load. [/quote]

I’m looking into freezing my eggs because I’m considering wanting kids ideally around the ages you were. How was the TTC journey if you don’t mind me asking? I’m so on the fence be freezing my eggs , but pretty set on wanting kids after 36 or so. [/quote]

I'm the PP you're asking here. So, I was 37 and 39 when my kids were born. I have PCOS so we needed fertility treatments, but it worked with IUI -- in both cases it worked the first time we used injectables. We got started as soon as we got married, so we didn't have much of a honeymoon stage, but we knew that's what we were signing up for. We both had many years of fun, obviously, so having kids right away didn't bother us. I'm fit and both pregnancies were pretty uncomplicated. My OBGYN practice is full of women doctors who had kids after 35 so being a "geriatric" pregnancy didn't even come up. [/quote]

Amazing! This is encouraging. Thank you so much!! Sigh, not sure if I really should go with freezing them. I don’t really have any concerns with having healthy pregnancies at an older age. Do you mind sharing your practice of your OBGYJN if you’re in the DC area?[/quote]
