Hi I'm new here... 46 and ttc...

Hi 70sgal, welcome! Good luck to you! It's clear that the love and parenting know-how abound in your family, so the baby is going to be very lucky.

I wanted to let you know it is possible. I come back and visit at times to give encouragement. I was TTC in 2002 and in July 2003 gave birth to a beautiful baby boy when I was 46 years and 11 months old so there is hope. We also had been married for 5 years and decided to try to have one of our own (I had a son 28 from a previous marriage who will be giving me my first grandchild in June). we concived naturally without any medical help, the doctor gave us a 5% chance but after a year and a half of trying we were suprised, my doctor actually thought I was going through menopause when I missed my period. Our little miricle is almost 4 and just can't start to decribe our lives since he has been born. He is keeping us young by trying to keep up with him. Yes there are a lot of positives and negatives to having a baby in your 40's but if you at considering it you have already weighed them out. Be prepared for a wonderful whirl wind adventure. Good luck.
