  • Getting old but no kids

    You and your partner have been together for few years already. Both of you have reached your past 40 and you still do not have a kid. Both of you already want one. What would you do next?

  • #2
    How about invoking the medical interventions already? There is the IVF treatment which is commonly used by most couples who could not bear children.

      If money is not an issue with you, then you could have this one. There are couples who underwent this procedure, and they were blessed with at least a twin.

      I agree with Yuki23 if my partner and I are financially stable then we might as well consider that one. No problem, and yes, I've always wanted twins, I hope sooner or later I might have kids on my own, preferably twins.

      Yes, you could try that kind of treatment. If it fails, then you could have an adoption.

    Would you like to adopt a child? Some couples go to that route. It would be less expensive, I think.

      If there's no other way for me and my partner to have kids on our own then maybe we can consider adopting and it wouldn't be that bad, right? Okay, we'd adopt kids and we'll be one happy family.

      Yeah. This could be done. You could treat your adopted child as your own true child. Sometimes, being a family is not all about blood.

      Adoption is also time-consuming and a bit expensive. If you are sure to go that way, then by any means, you could pursue it.

    If I am not yet on menopause, I guess the best thing to do is to keep on trying to have a child. Maybe we can make love every night. In that way, more chance that we'll get pregnant.

      Kinkytime yes, and you two shouldn't be too stressed out for trying to make a baby. It might turn out to be more complicated if you two did not consult a doctor for this as well.

      Do not do that one. It is best to have a consultation first and follow what the doctor would say.

      Not every night, but every week. You should have proper rests in between and there should be no stress. Anyway, are there pills to get you pregnant easily?

  • #5
    Well, for me, it is fine to grow old with my partner with no child at all. Sometimes, we just need to accept that there are some couples who could never have a kid.

      Some couples nowadays would prefer not having kids at all. Maybe not everyone is meant to become a parent or is not really into parenthood at all. They're just not into that kind of responsibility and there's nothing wrong with it.

      Why do I suddenly feel like I'm one of those infertile types of people too? I think it would be okay if I cannot have kids on my own, but will my partner ever accept me for not bearing a kid for him at all? I hope he doesn't leave me because of that reason.

      Yes. Why worry when you could not have a child? Sometimes, there are some things which are not meant to be.

  • #6
    Oh no! If the woman already reaches the menopausal stage, they wouldn't be able to have a baby that they can call their own. Of course, there is still another way which is adoption.

      They could still have a child even if the woman has passed its menopausal stage. Let the magic of science takes its course.

      smoker yes, yes. I think that everything would be possible when it comes to science. Ah, all in the name of science, also, consider consulting a doctor about this too.

      Naturally, you would have a hard time conceiving anymore, but with the help of science, you would have one.

  • #7
    I might steal my nephews and nieces, lol. Nah, I just think that we can still make kids on our own and we can have many ways to make this possible. We all wanted to have kids and family on our own someday.

      What if you find out that you're shooting blanks? Are you still going to try and make it the natural way or not?

    I cannot answer this one right now because I think at some point in my life, I've wanted to have kids but right now is not the right time for me. I think I won't reach my 40 before I can actually have kids of my own, of course with my loving partner.

      You two shouldn't have waited until you've reached 40 before deciding to finally have kids on your own. It's a bit too late now, don't you think? And you can never go back in time to change what it should've been the time when you and your partner should have kids already.

      Since I am not fond of kids, this wouldn't be a problem for me. No wonder my partner and I weren't bothered reaching our 40s and still do not have kids. Life is not just having kids and raising them, sometimes it's best if it were only me and my partner.

  • #9
    I think we should be alarmed at this point, we both wanted kids but why did we come this far when it's all too late? I think we should consider adopting a kid now. I hope that my partner would agree to that idea since it would be more painful and complicated for me to bear kids at this age now.

      I don't think your partner would like it if you two would plan to adopt kids and raise them. It's something about a man's ego or pride to have a kid of his own flesh. Well, why did it even took so long for you both to suddenly realize that it is time for you two to have kids? Too late, really.

      Look at Janet. Yes, the Jackson. How old was she when she got pregnant?

  • #10
    Why do you need to have a kid? A kid is not important. You could grow old together and not having a kid at all. There are many couples who are like that.

      Exactly, some couples wish to not have kids and there are some who still wanted to have kids. I think for me, having a kid is okay but not having a kid would be much better for me, since I'm too young to be handling that kind of responsibility.

      I think that having a kid is important because right before you and your partner might perish soon, he or she can have all of your possessions. Am I right? How can you trust other people that are not your actual flesh? Having a kid would be much better to look after those possessions that you and your partner have.

      KellyEM For couples who do not have kids, they have their last will and testament. Commonly, their possessions would be donated to charities.

    If we've been trying to conceive a child yet nothing is happening, I think it is time for us to consult a doctor about our case. Because there's a chance that one of us or maybe, both of us are infertile and unable to conceive a child. The sooner we know about it, the better.

      When things go wrong which concerns our health then it is better to consult a doctor early (especially when signs and symptoms are already showing) before things get worse.

      Yes, it is best to consult a doctor. If it has been years and no child yet, then something could be wrong on either one of you or both of you.

      What are you going to do if the doctor tells you that it is too late for the both of you to try? Are you going to consider to adopt?

  • #12
    Adoption. Yes, it is time for us to adopt a kid if we'd desperately want to have kids but cannot make one because we've reached our age limit already.

      I guess adoption would be nice but you should be happy that you're giving this child a chance to experience what it feels like having a family. I think soon I'd get to adopt kids too, I just feel like they deserve to have a place called home.

      There is something that science can still do even if you had reached your age limit. I had seen a senior citizen getting pregnant.

  • #13
    Why not just adopt a kid? I feel that's a better option rather than trying IVF. That is if you don't mind that the kid doesn't share any DNA from the two of you. And besides, there are lot of children who are in orphanages that are waiting for potential parents

      If we're having problems having them the natural way, then we might consider adopting a baby or two

        I think wanting a kid and being ready to have a kid is completely different you
        should think first if you guys are really ready to bear that responsibility because
        having a kid is one big and heavy responsibility

          Guess you didn't notice the part when she mentioned that the both of you are ready to have one. Which means that they're ready and they're just looking for suggestions as to how to have one. Considering their ages, the girl might have a problem when it comes to conceiving by natural means
