Answer 10

Not at all, every woman wants to become a mother. My husband is 45 and I am 33. We were both blessed with children from a previous marriage and are now trying for one together. We are having trouble ttc and if it turns out that he can't, I will love him the same and just continue to be thankful for the children I already have. You have to do what is best for you. If you are determined to have a child of your own then you should as long as he wants the same....60 is the new 40 these days...lol...good luck sweetie.

Answer 11

Depends if you're willing to realise your IVF child may lose her father very early on. He's 60...it may take a few years to conceive, and then even if he lives to his 70s - late 80's..the child would still be very young.

Im not personally against it at all. I say go for it, I don't think you have anything to lose - although I would suggest looking into adoption/fostering too.  

Answer 12

not at all go for it and gd luck x

Answer 13

NO GO FOR IT, WE DID AND NOW OUR DAUGHTER IS 10 AND BEAUTIFUL.. GOODLUCK
