40 was my cutoff. Got pregnant the cycle before my 40th birthday. She's 4 months now and perfect. Pregnancy was about the same as #1, birth was easier.

Its personally too old for me. Has the potential to throw retirement way off. But it certainly doesn't make you the oldest in DC. I thoigh you were going to say 46.

Um, that BMI is barely overweight. I thought you were gonna say 40 or something.

Go for it.

I had my second when my first was (still is) 6. I was 42 and turned 43 a month after baby was born. I did have a MC at 41, but then got pregnant seven months later on our own. Good luck! My new baby is such a joy!!!

I'd go for it.

I guess this is the right forum. I turn 40 next week and DH is 42. We have a 6 year old who is great. We were one and done from the start, realized a couple years ago we'd both like a second but it was never the right time. We are comfortable financially, both WOH. Honestly a big part of my hesitation is that I'm overweight (BMI 28) as I never lost the baby weight and pregnancy did a number on my pelvic floor. I feel like another pregnancy will be harder, and how can I have a second when I'm already not finding time to work out? But maybe that's shallow.

Anyway, I have a positive OPK here. What would you do in my shoes?
