I conceived naturally at ages 42 and 45 and delivered healthy babies. We are currently TTC #5. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.

I too conceived naturally at age 36 and delivered a healthy boy last year. I am now 37 and we are TTC for #2. I was never told by my doctors (GP and Ob-Gyn) that I am in a different risk category. In fact, my Ob-Gyn told me that I am still young and I will have no problem TTC for #2 ^_^

I wish you all the best and baby dust for you.

I had my first at 33 & my second at 36. We conceived both right away with no issues. I was considered higher risk at 36 for chromosomal abnormalities, like Downs, trisomy 13 & 18, but I knew those odds beforehand. I did have the blood work that does genetic testing for the 3 trisomies (downs, 13, 18) but only bc it was noninvasive & gave me peace of mind. I wasn't willing to risk an amnio. My kids are now 3 yrs & 6 months & perfect in every way. However, we are done TTC. Two children have completed our family.

Just got my BFP at 37. I'm 5weeks tomorrow ;)

AMA what is that now days, I had a perfect baby aged 38 with miserably low egg reserves a 28 year old at my clinic had a baby with downs. Life is strange

I fully agree with opalfoxy. Thanks for sharing. In my opinion statistics are one thing but real life another.

I'm 38 and recently gave birth to a perfectly healthy baby boy, best wishes xx

Thanx so much ladies for the positive words. I am feeling so much better reading all your healthy outcomes.
