Q & A with Waiting for Baby Bird

What Age Is the Right Time to Give Up Trying to Conceive?

Elisha

Dear Waiting for Baby Bird, My question is, what age is the right time to give up trying to conceive? As much as I know that nothing is impossible with our God and we are still praying that He will bless us with fertility, being pregnant at 50 in todays world isn't ideal. My husband is 40 and I'm 38.

Adoption isn't something God has put in our hearts and we are solely relying on God to fall pregnant, despite the odds stacked against us.

Never in my plans as a high school student, college student, or career woman in my middle 20's did I imagine life would look like it does now. Is my life bad? No. But does it look anything… Continue reading 36 Years Old and Still Barren
