    Thanks for saying hi
    if anything I feel much MORE energetic as I wasted so much energy in my 20's worrying over everything and I'm a much more laid back mother now than I was with my older ones.

    The stats on older pregnancies, believe it or not, comes from data in the !!!! 1600's !!!!! and is completely garbage, we're finding. Our odds of conceiving with proven fertility even over 40 are still decent, it's not as dire as they make it out to be. full article on this here http://genderdreaming.com/forum/late...d-article.html

    Hello bigbump and welcome. There's quite a few of us Brits on the forum I've found. I did my pretesting in Feb and I'm off to HRC in Newport Beach for ER in just 3 weeks. If you're interested in HT you can fill out the form to request a consult with Dr Potter and do the pretesting beforehand so that your consult is as useful as possible. Might just give you a better idea of what your chances are. I'm always happy to chat about the HT side of things from a uk perspective (although I'm def no expert - but the ladies on this forum are incredible).

    Waaaa! My replies keep disappearing!

    Atomic I will have a read of that when I get a minute! I like being an older mum. There are benefits to being younger too of course but I rarely feel old in the school playground or the baby groups (unless the others are grandmas!!?) your little girl is very cute btw!

    Little Lunasa, good to see the celts are represented here! I am Scottish. Your daughter is lovely! Thank you for the vote of confidence.

    MissE. I am excited for you and would love to pick your brain about HRC. i will follow your journey for sure if you are intending to share! Is it your first cycle?

    It is indeed my first (and probably only) cycle. Going for ER in May and then fingers crossed I'll be going for FET later in the year if there's a little girlie to transfer. My sticky is in current cycles if you want to have a look but feel free to contact me too.

    Yes I was able to experience both ends of the spectrum having my first two as what many would consider too young (21 and 25) and then my last two what many would consider too old (39 and 42) and people had plenty to say about both LOL. Both had advantages and disadvantages altho I will say esp. my husband is much more patient and loving with this batch than the first two.

    'This batch'! Love it!

    My husband has a big age gap between his eldest and youngest too. Eldest is 23 and youngest is our 9 month old! Some of his friends have had a lot to say about it, as mine did when I met him and he already had 3 kids! I don't let it get to me.

    My oldest son was 21 when my daughter was conceived! Weirdly we were actually married that whole time, just had a huge age gap for money reasons and blah blah blah. People thought we'd lost our gol-durn minds haha. I like to joke that my uterus was only 3 days from retirement. My mom will introduce me to strangers as, "this is my daugher and she has 5 kids and they're all with the same man!" LOLOLOLOL Just can't let it bother ya!

    I don't. If anything it embarrassed my oldest stepchildren that their dad was having babies again but they are OK about it now. Love your mum's intro!Does she assume people will think you have had 2 marriages and goes to set them straight from the get go?? It's nice to hear from someone with a similar age gap tho, we are few and far between!
