A member asked:
Can a healthy 39yr old conceive if her husband is 57 and on medication for sugar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As long as your are having normal periods, we can assume that you are ovulating and fertile (especially if you have had kids before). There is a slight chance that your husband may have a decreased sperm count due to age or diabetes, but otherwise, he is fully capable of fathering a child.
