I think if you want another child, then there's no reason to call it a day until your heart says enough.
If you still want another bub, and are still able to try then I see no reason to stop. Just think, the month you say "No more!" might be the month that you conceive.

Good luck!

Hi. I too feel about like you. I have 4 children already and my oldest is 15. I am 39 and my dh is 55 so I really feel like time is running out for us, besides the fact my dh really wants me to be done but I still can't get over wanting that 5th and last baby. I have been trying for a year now and had a chemical preg back in November and just got over a miscarriage in June and currently waiting for my period to get back to normal, or ovulate so that I can start trying again. This makes my 4th miscarriage all through my life too. I was about 6 weeks along with this last one. My doctor says he thinks it is a low pregesterone level and even had me on prometrium but it still didn't stick. I am terrified of this happening to me again. and even more terrified that I won' get to experiece being pregnant any longer. My doc has prescribed me clomid cause he said it can help keep the hormone levels high and help me to ovulate so as soon as my period is back to normal, then I am going to try that. I don't want to give up even though my husband would rather me. I think I am ovulating now and might try but am afraid I haven't given my body long enough time to heal yet although my doc says I can go ahead and try. Anyway, I know how you are feeling and hope the best for you. Just curious, Are you taking the progesteron constantly? My doctor told me I could do that, but then I need to get off of them to let my period start if I am not pregnant. I need to get more info on this stuff.
