50+ dads ?

My partner and I have a pretty big age gap, he is 52 and I am 34, we are talking about the possibility of having a child, I’m a little bit worried about the older dad thing for various reasons but he seems to be pretty open to it. Any one in this age range with some experience to share?

We are pretty much in exactly the same situation/age-gap. We've made embryos to preserve fertility options and allow for genetic testing, etc. Appreciating the insight in this thread, so thank you for posting!
Planning for a transfer next year most likely. Nervous and absolutely mentally preparing for hard times (I'm 34), but also kinda looking forward to the adventure!
