    My neighbour is 36 years old and is in dilemma whether she will try for a second child or not.
    Her FSH is 7.69, LH is 3.20, Prolactin is 8.24 and TSH is 3.08.
    She wanted to know whether she is medically fit or not.
    I am unable to answer her as I don't have any knowledge on this topic. If anyone has some knowledge then please help me out.

    After 35, there is little higher risk of birth anomalies but these days many women go for late pregnancy, my aunt had her second baby at 38, the best person to guide her about this is a good gynecologist . The pregnancy would also depend on the husband's health, so both should meet a doctor and decide.

    36 is relatively ok for second child. She can give it a try. If she is too concerned, can have a word with a gynec & then proceed!
    All the best!

    Thanks Cutemonster and Vasumathy for replying.
    Her gynec told her that she can go for it but as her age is on higher side she might face some problems. Hence she is very confused.
    Her son wants a sibling badly which is the reason she is considering to have a second child.
    The age of her husband is 42 years.
    Should she go for it or not?

    Her dh age is on higer side though. But it may not affect much.There is nothing wrong in giving it a try! Medical field has grown much. If the couple wishes to have another one, with proper care, they can grow the baby well.
