I'm 37, DH is 39. We have 3 girls with us, I lost a son when he was five.  This is my fifth child and I'm terrified about my age and the stats that blare a neon light in our "advanced maternal age" faces :( I despise that term. 
I conceived almost immediately with all of my children once we decided to try.  It took no more than a few months each time.  
This current pregnancy?  Almost three years.  We had given up and thought us past our prime.  Surprise!  
I'm so excited but so reserved.  My first two appointments did NOT go well.  I was diagnosed with a blighted Ovum and scheduled for a D&C.  Right before the procedure I asked to "check one more time".  I got looks of pity and a speech about how it would only make me more emotional to see a "barren" uterus.  Low and behold there is a full pregnancy...yolk sac, fetal pole and heartbeat.  I promptly became sick all over the people nearest me.  I was moments away from Ending A healthy pregnancy because they "got my dates wrong"!!!!  I have a 34 day cycle.  They set my dates by my LMP and even though I TOLD them?  They didn't write "my" info down.  Of course what do "I" know.  I'm just te stupid patient.  
Now I'm fighting with an office that Claims they only do an NT scan at 16 weeks and NO first trimester testing???? I live in the south but DAMN If these people ate behind the times.  I tried to call the nearest medical hospital in Birmingham to set up my OWN tests and they say I have to have a referral.  I'm now in BATTLE with a doc that thinks they KNOW EVERYTHING.  I don't care if she delivered two of my kids.  I'm about to drop her fast and just have an hour drive for my OB.  I can always deliver HERE in town but I feel I deserve a doctor that knows what they are doing.  
Sorry bout the rant :( I feel so alone and even though this was a simple question I just unloaded.
Yes :) I'm pregnant at 37 lol

I'm 45 - I already have children from a previous marriage and then dh and I went through two years of ttc before givng birth last April.  Now we're thinking of going through FET to try for #2 together - at least he's trying to convince me to go along!

SueGre · Answer

I'm going to be 41 next month, dh is 43. I got pg at age 39 but lost the baby at 20 weeks. So all in all, we've been trying for 2 years for #1. Can't believe how long it's been. It's really really difficult and sad.
