We had our first last year when I was 42 and my wife 39. It can be done.
For some reason, it seems to me that if you are capable of having a child, you should attempt that first.
Should is probably not a good word to use here. Every kid should have a home, not every woman should give birth. Something to think about.
I am adopted and seeing adopting a baby as a consolation prize makes me very sad. A family is a family no matter how it is put together.
That said I understand there is a biological drive to reproduce just keep in mind that isn’t the only way to have a child.
I have decided to start a family too. My swimmers are ok except a sore left shoulder. The problem is that I need a mother for 'em. Can anyone help?
If she’s 8yrs younger than me, it’s not a problem. Actually, it’s even better 
“I finally figured it out and flipped her over and onto her back”
From what I understand, the way you were initially trying is if you want puppies, not babies.
go jack off and get a sperm count.
you have lots of sperm for each ejaculation. and remember, it only takes one to fertilize that egg. the more there are, the better the chance of that egg gettin some… now bad sperm or unhealthy sperm cannot fertilize an egg, if it even gets there. its like an iron man swim for those little shits…and even a farther swim for you not so blessed fellas.
I had my third child (son, finally) when I was 41. the wife was 39. and that was after a vasectomy and a vasovasectomy (reversal). THats right, I got the boys clipped one month after my youngest daughter was born. the wife and I decided to have another, we were going to do the lab thing for sex selection (boy)…after the reversal, i went to the lab for 7 months straight to give a semen sample, no sperm at all…we thought oh well, wasnt meant to be. then one day, about 2 plus years after the the reversal the wife wasnt feeling so well one morning, as I was heading out the door for some surfing, I said to her, maybe your pregnant, we both laughed that off. I go surfing for about 3 hours, and when I get back to the car, the wife calls me and says, I am pregnant. I said no way, she said yes way, i just did 3 tests and all are are positive…So, long story short, we have little dvfmfidc the fifth who is 5 now, plus a 23 y/o and 18 y/o daughter.
I know what you fools are thinking, but i did go to the lab for a semen analysis, and sure enough, the sperm was alive and well. So NO, the wife wasnt boinking the gardner, pool boy, neighbor or brad pitt…
I also went back in to get the ole boys clipped again…
Boxers or briefs? Lots of spandex, yes?
You adopt should some of my damn kids. They’re killing my training.
May be the last time I get to look at a porn mag. Hmmmm…
You might want to bring your own. Think about what people were doing while they touched that magazine prior to your entering the booth.
That could be a positive for some people.
JenHS -
Thanks for that point of view. I hadn’t considered things from that standpoint. As I said before, my statement was more out of ignorance than experience.
Again, thank you.

Of course. 
I am very much looking forward to the process
That’s the best part!
As a father of four, I suggest that you stop using whatever birth control you were using and just have sex on a fun, no schedule pace. Don’t worry about timing or pregnancy tests or anything like that. Just enjoy it in all your preferred styles, places, positions and variations. Give it a solid six months or so of good ole unfettered, well, you know …
If after six months you have not been successful, start with the ovulation timing thing. There is a ton of information on how to do that. If after three months you have had no luck have your wife talk to her gynecologist and go from there.
Good luck.
How old are they? And I don’t mean in a Woody Allen/Sun Yi way.
