hey  

you not to old trust me, my uncle and his wife did not start having kids till she was 45 and he was 51 the only down side is u could have more than one baby and also the birthdefects are higher. my uncles kids are fine and healthy. try going to your docter to find out if he could help you with the process you no if you cant have a child,  but i no u can ask him  if he wants to then adopt he new what he was getting him self in to when he married. you already have a child and you are at the age were some women hit the CHANGE in life but i would not sweat it just try this ok, dont try so hard just relax if theres any stress in your life get rid of it go on a vacation start eating better start taking care if your self and god will do the rest. and if it dont work look in to fertility pills you no.

Friend, I am 42, a kind, loving, educated professional, financially stable, etc., but I haven't met Mr. Right. At age 38 I started researching fertility because I needed to know the facts - I was considering having a child on my own via donor (which I decided against - I want the whole package - husband, etc.)  Every article I've read, and I've read many, says that fertility decreases dramatically after age 40 for women. and by 45 most women can no longer conceive with their own eggs, because a woman's eggs become too old and the rate of miscarriage becomes too high. Is there a chance you could conceive and carry to term, yes. Is it likely, no. It is very important for you to get to a fertility specialist - get one recommended by your OB/GYN. There are specific factors which can decrease your chances of conceiving, being extremely over or under weight, smoking and others. You need to see the specialist and get educated. It is not impossible - we don't know what God has in store for any of us - but the success rate at your age is not high. I wish you the best and envy you having one daughter...
