Yes, I am.

At 46, with a husband at 49, I am too old. God and I seem to be in agreement since my fertility seems to waning too.

When you are no longer fertile. That’s God’s natural way of saying you’re too old!

:yup:

God answers that question through the natural order He designed.

But, of course, sometimes people are infertile before they are too old–in which case adoption is an option. Also, sometimes grandparents or other relatives need to raise grandchildren/young family members due to unusual circumstances. But generally speaking, if one is fertile, one is not too old. Occasionally one is not too old even* if* one is infertile.

I think that as long as your body lets you, you are not too old.

This is my favorite advice and pretty much what we go by! I just keep hoping my fertility holds up through my 30s!
