Pregnancy after an ablation
I am barely 50 and have had 5 healthy children, the youngest is 10. I had a novasure 3years ago and wanted a baby before,but my doctor was more interested in giving me an ablation. I am in great physical shape and very healty and active. We lost our beautiful oldest son in an accident just before the ablation. I know a new baby would help us with the pain and sorrow that won't let up. Is this too far off the charts in terms of impossible outcomes? Please someone tell me I can do it.

Thanks for your response. I think that a lot of people might assume the same could result. I know that every child has a special, unique personality. My children are all different, but remind me of Dylan in various ways. My youngest son was 7 and Dylan ,21 when he left us. Yet, their personalities, voice, and interests are so similar. It is eery. I think that the joy of a new human being is what I truly seek. I wanted to have one before he left ,but life always got in the way. Now, I have so many more obstacles, age and an ablation.I thought about adopting a lot,but it is so expensive and hard to even find situations. I really want to give it all I can and maybe we can experience a miracle. Any good news and advice is truly appreciated. By the way, my grandma gave birth to a genius at age 48 with no help from doctors. Who knows!
tschert,
I think that if you want to have a baby, and are in good physical health then it is completely up to you.... age is only a number. I wish you good luck in your efforts.
My brother died when I was 13- he was 18. At the time my mother was your age. I know that even now, 9 years later, my parents still suffer the pains of having lost a child. At the time, my father wanted to have another baby, but my parents decided against it because that child would never replace the one that was lost. It is also a very heavy burden to place on a baby.... what if he/she is nothing like the child you lost? I am not saying this is what you are doing, just trying to give you another point of view.
My parents belong to a group called compassionate friends. They have meetings, online forums etc that have helped so much in dealing with the grief.

tschert- we're not strict about age here! Many older women come on here to offer advice and so we never think anything of it. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.
thank you for your information. I am going a new obgyn April 1st. They will hopefully refer me to a specialist. I won't give up I had such luck with the children I had. I want another so bad. I know it won't bring back my son, but it would so awesome to have another that has the qualities that he had posessed. I will let ya know, also, i am sorry I am on the wrong age group forum,but glad I did. I feel young anyway!
I am so sorry to hear about your oldest son. Oh, please don't give up hope on having a baby. Do you still have your menstral cycle? Even if you don't there is still hope. You need to get a new doctor who will listen to you, preferrable a fertility specialist. You need to have a procedure called a hysterosalpengogram which will tell the doctor how much and where the lining is. If your lining isn't sufficient the doctor will start you on hormone therapy to re-grow the lining. Once that is done you will probably have a repeat hyst and then you can start trying to have a baby.
IDK about ablation, however... if you have any concerns pertaining to motherhood over 35, and risks of any chromosomal abnormalities, feel free to contact me (martikadragoon @ msn.com (NO SPACES) )
I may be 22 but my baby boy was born with Down Syndrome and when we found out I did tons of reading up on it. So I know quite a bit about it and other issues mom's over 35 can face. (such as SOME problems with the uterus being able to stretch like it should, causing preterm labor, that one isn't super common, but it happens)

I have not had an ablation so I can't answer your question, but I have seen a post on the maternal & child forum and there are women on there that have gone through it. I'm very sorry for the loss of your older son!
