The question
Hello Dr Sherr,
I’m 42 years old and I just had my first baby through IVF delivered through C section. How long would you recommend to wait before trying for the second baby. In my case my advanced age might play a role in determining the pregnancy complications Im interested to hear what is the minimum amount of time you recommend to wait before getting pregnant again.
Thank you in advance for your help.
Answer from Dr. Geoffrey Sher
CONGRATULATIONS!!
I would suggest waiting until you have stopped breast feeding and have since experienced at least 2 regular menstrual cycles.
