Is it OK to be a dad at 50?

While fewer than 1 percent of first-time fathers are over 50, there are benefits to being a later-in-life father. Dr Paul Turek, a men's health and fertility urologist, says that men who have children at an older age tend to live longer. As an added bonus, their children tend to live longer as well.

While fewer than 1 percent of first-time fathers are over 50, there are benefits to being a later-in-life father. Dr Paul Turek, a men's health and fertility urologist, says that men who have children at an older age tend to live longer. As an added bonus, their children tend to live longer as well. Being able to father children at a later age indicates good health overall, which can be passed on to offspring. R.J. Cutler, 58, is a television and film producer and director of documentaries, including the Academy Award-winning The War Room, The September Issue, the Emmy-winning reality TV show American High and fan favorite Nashville. He has found great fulfillment and excitement in his professional life. It wasn't until he met his wife, Jane Cha, 44, a creator of the original Project Runway television show, that R.J. began to think about having a family. “For me, it was finding the right partner, not my age, that made me want to start a family,” says R.J. He and Jane live in Los Angeles and are the parents of two children – Maddie is four and Max is one. R.J. believes that there are distinct advantages to having children later in life. “Younger parents still have a lot of issues to grapple with – they're still growing up, coming of age. The wisdom you have as an older parent is so valuable,” says R.J. “I get so much enjoyment out of my kids. I love coming down to the stairs each morning to hear Maddie say, ‘It's time for the breakfast party!’ Because my wife is younger, she has a lot extended family that helps us and adds to our kids’ lives – it takes a village!” R.J. says. Staying connected to his kids as he grows older doesn't concern R.J. at all, since his work in the entertainment industry keeps him connected to pop culture. He hopes to learn from his kids, as they become tweens and teens, what their friends are talking about and interested in. Having young children is keeping R.J. young, too. Both Greg and R.J. have had great reactions from friends and family about becoming fathers in their 50s. Greg scoffs at the idea that anyone would question his decision to become a father at this point. “If they did say something, I'd laugh and challenge them to a game of racquetball!" R.J. has never had anyone ask him about his choice to have his first child at 54. “I didn't feel like my family was complete until we had our second kid,” he says. “One of my close friends at Maddie's preschool is even older than I am. He's not a first-time father, but he has a kid Maddie's age."

Which age is best for father?

From a biological standpoint, experts recommend a man is best suited to fatherhood from his late 20s to early 30s. It is still possible for men to father a child in their 50s and older. According to Guinness World Records, the oldest man to father a child was 92 years old at the time of the birth.

If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for a while to no avail, then you must visit a doctor. For men, there are a wide range of tests to find out whether or not you're infertile. Start with getting an evaluation by a urologist. You'll have to undergo a physical exam and the doctor will ask you of your medical history and lifetsyle habits. A physical exam will include examining your testicles, where the doctor will look for varicoceles, abnormal formations of veins above the testicle. You can also get a sperm and semen analysis, wherein the expert will check your sperm count, their shape, movement, and other characteristics. In addition, one can also opt for hormone evaluation, in which the doctor will assess the level of testosterone and other hormones in the body.

Other tests include, genetic testing, anti-sperm antibodies, retrograde ejaculation, etc.
