When do you call it quits?
I’m 38 and my husband is 42. I had my mirena taken out June of last year right after our wedding. I have 2 kids from a previous marriage but my new husband has none so we decided TTC. I did get pregnant in October of last year, but as quickly as I found out I was pregnant... I miscarried at 5 weeks. The doctor was actually surprised I conceived so quickly so she wasn’t concerned about being able to conceive again.
So here we are now and every time I think this is the month... I get a BFN and AF rears her ugly head. I guess I’m at a point now where I feel like there should be a hard stop timeline where I should go back to being on birth control.
Is 38 too old to try again? My mom tells me it’s because I’m overthinking it and tells me how my Aunt and Grandmother got pregnant at 40... BUT I feel like giving up and I want to cry.
I don’t want to give up on the idea of having a baby, but my husband says he’s okay if we don’t. I feel like he’s saying that because of how it’s taking a toll on me emotionally.
Any advice or encouragement would be appreciated.
Thank you.
