Because of the age thing when they go to college? I just always hear that parents never regret having another... I worry that 5 years from now when it's too late I'll be kicking myself. This sucks.

I don't think late 50s/early 60s is too old to parent a child in college.

No way. I plan to be living the good life long before 60.

go for it. plenty of people get pregnant naturally in their early 40s - you are not too old. I would not wait much longer though.

They were vitrified and I have 21. If it doesn't work then it sort of makes the decision for me?

+1. This is what gets me. It all sounds fine and dandy now, but 18 years from now...not so much.

We are WOH family, and we had 3rd at 42.

It is crazy. Everything is a mess all the time, we are all exhausted, we worry we are shortchanging one of the 3 since we can't do man to man defense anymore.

But we love it and the 3rd is a joy, and siblings love having another kid in the mix. No regrets, but that maybe because we're too tired to think that hard

My SIL will have just turned 43 when her second child is born. First is 3.5.

I had my second at 42, I don’t regret anything.

Yes.

We were thinking about it (I'm 45 now, so...) and my neighbors did it. Works for them. I kind of wish we had had the guts, but worried about money, space, energy... and got a dog instead

Anyone wohms done this with a happy result? We have a 3 and 5 year old but would really like another. I have frozen eggs from a decade ago so could probably get pregnant.
