Hi! I just joined because DH & I are considering ttc for another child. I just turned 48 in December. He always wanted another child (our son is 7 years old), but I did not because I became depressed and it wasn't a fun time for me (sleep deprivation, etc.) I was happy with our great little boy, but once he got older and could express himself (i.e. I'd like a brother or sister), then the guilt started to settle in. Anyway, it's a HUGE decision and I'm wondering if anyone else out there is around my age and thinking about ttc? Thanks!

I'm Dawna and will turn 50 in April. I've been TTC-ing for several years and winding down on my journey...**** FSH! I wish you all the good luck in your efforts and hope you get your BFP sooner than later!!!
Hi, Dawna. Sorry to hear about your frustration. I don't know if we would have had success, either, if we'd tried earlier. The stats do not look encouraging, that's for sure. DH really wants to at least try, but I'm not sure my head is in that place yet. Maybe it's best to leave our little family as it is. Too bad I don't have more time to consider this....oh, well, it is what it is. Thanks for the encouraging words, Dawna!
I read over your post. Do you want to TTC to make your husband happy or because YOU want another baby? I hear ya on the depression. Out of nowhere I ended up with postpartum depression after having Scarlett. It surprised me but with meds I have been managing it.
I am almost 43 and just had baby Scarlett. If you want to try then go for it!!

Hi, Missy. My husband had been mentioning it off and on for a few years now and I always told him that I could not possibly do it. He has always respected my decision, but I knew it was something he really wanted. I just could not bring myself to try for another child. I always felt bad, though, because our son would be such an awesome big brother and I finally found myself feeling like I wanted another child to love and nurture. DH was overjoyed at my change of heart and I am happy as well. It is such a huge decision and I am glad I decided to go for it. I have just started the 2ww and am trying not to obsess over every little twinge - lol!!
Hi everyone.. I am 45 will be 46 in Sept. I've been trying off and on.. not ever preventing. My youngest daughter is 4yrs and I've had two m/c since her birth. The last one was in May of 2011. I'm pretty much just waiting so see if anything happens and try to be content with all that God has given us. I really don't know if I want to start the Vitex and all that I did last time to TTC. Good luck and I'll be watching for your updates!
