Is 35 too old for a baby?

Question

Im nearly 35 and already have 2 children age 15 and 9, I've split from my husband 6 months ago as he went behind my back 2yrs ago and had a vasectomy knowing I maybe wanted another child and I couldn't move on from that. I am now seeing my childhood sweetheart who I've known 33yrs, he also has 2 children from a previous relationship, we are so in love and I know that he is my one. We were discussing last night me coming off birth control and trying for a baby, im supposed to take another depo shot on the 15th of this month. I would love another child but my only worry is my age, am I too old to be having another child? Are there any added complications? How long does it take to get pregnant after the depo?

Answer

I don’t have answers about the depo as I’ve never used that form of birth control.   
But as far as being too old.... 35 is surely not! I kept saying I wanted a baby by 35 and if it didn’t happen then I would close the door on it but lol I’m currently 38 and 26 weeks pregnant! I also have a 12 and 14 year old so starting alllll over again and couldn’t be more excited for this adventure.  People are having baby’s later in age far more now then they use to it seems.

Answer

I’m 36 and pregnant with my first.  I’ll be 36 or 37 depending on when he’s born(due date is 6 days after my bday). It’s not too old

Answer

I split with my husband in 2015 - we had been together 16 years and had 3 children together as well as 2 children from my first marriage. We just weren't in love anymore. Amicable split, remained friends etc.
I met my new husband in 2016, we started ttc in 2017 and were blessed with our son who arrived in March 2020. We suffered 3 miscarriages prior to his safe arrival.
I am now 43 years old. No, 35 is not too old. As for the depo, I have no experience with that unfortunately. I was on the mini pill prior to ttc and came off it in July 2017. I didnt conceive until April 2018 and unfortunately miscarried.

Answer

I'm 34 and just started trying for my first. I turn in 10 more months and it's very likely if and when I get pregnant, I will have turned 35.

Answer

I’m 34 pregnant with my first and I’ll be 35 when it’s born. My partner is 42.

Answer

Nope! Not too old at all! I’m 37 and will turn 38 in June 2021. I am 34 Weeks pregnant with baby #3 who is a girl. I have a 13 soon to be 14 year old son and a 10 soon to be 11 year old son too. It’s too late when you decide it is or when your body decides it is. 😉💗

Answer

No you are not too old. Go for it!

Answer

I’m 35 and also TTC for #3. I was on deposit back in 2015-2016. Got off of it January 2016. Got pregnant July 2016. Took about 6 months or so.

Answer

I’m 35 (close to 36) and my husband are trying for our first biological child. We have an adopted daughter that wants a sibling so bad! My OB said that your body doesn’t know your exact age. There would be a label attached to me but basically it’s just a number. I had so many concerns about my age but she said have fun and don’t stress.

Answer

No you are not too old. Buy yourself copy of the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility and read it to help yourself with ttc.
