I’m 39 and TCC. Sometimes I feel like I’m too old to have a baby and I missed my chance. Does anyone feel the same?

I'm 40 and trying for my second! It can happen!

I’m 39 and pregnant with my first. It’s not too late! Keep your head up.
I don’t think I’m worried about not getting pregnant. Just being an old mum and lower energy and stuff like that. It’s all very terrifying to me. But I still want to be a mum. So we’re TCC 🙂

There are times it's hard haha because he is high energy and I'm old 😂 but I would also say there are definite advantages to being an older parent as well, like possibly more patience and life wisdom and more financially secure.

I had my first at 37. I definitely have less energy now than I did at 20, but I feel like my life experience is much better, and my financial stability. It's a trade off. I like the idea of being able to give my daughter a good life, even if I may never see great grandchildren the way my grandparents and great grandparents did.
Go for it if you want to. It's so rewarding. For me, it was about what I knew I would miss out on, and I knew I had to at least try. No regrets.

Well I am ancient then because I am 44 and 6 months pregnant right now 🙃 Let GOD give you your heart’s desire. As far as energy goes just eat right and exercise and you should be fine ❤️

I'm literally in the same boat. 39 and riddled with anxiety over potential issues with the embryo

I had my first at 38 and I'm pregnant with my second at 41 don't give up x

I’m 44 with a 11 month old! I don’t feel old and don’t feel like I have less energy. Actually when I was younger I couldn’t function at all with little sleep. At this age I still like my full 8 hours but I can function with less.
