Hello ladies. Here's my story. I'm 35 with 2 boys, 16 and 9. When I had my youngest, i wanted to get my tubes tied. My then Dr. urged me to wait. I was 25 then. She said when a women turns 30 something, many experience their biological clock's ticking. At that time, I thought is she crazy my clock is all ticked out. I'm glad to say, for some reason I followed her adivce. She was right. With a new DH, and feeling the need to procreate we have been trying for 2 1/2 years. The first year and half, I had 5 m/c, 2 being ectopic. Spent the last year trying. Went through IVF on 08/16, finally got a BFP 10dp3dt, and just had a D&C today. The baby stopped growing at 6wks. Just like all the rest of my angels. This has been very difficult for us. At this point, I am feeling better, but I have to be honest I am a little upset with GOD right now. Can I do that? Well, we are planning on moving forward. However I have a consult with my RE, and a new one. I think maybe we need a change. Good luck to all you ladies here.
Hi there- I am 35 and have one daughter 12 conceived naturally. Am now trying to have a baby with my new hubby and so far have had one miscarriage and am just hoping that we will have the chance to have one little miracle together.
Hi there. I am 39 years old and had my 4th child in jan 08. I had my 4th c-section as well and had all high risk pregnancies due to preeclampsia. My last pregnancy went very well with the exception of my screening result of 1/22 for DS. I didn't do the amnio and waited it out till her birth. She did NOT have DS. But with the stress of the 4th section, possibility of DS etc, at the time of her birth I decided to get my tubes done......big mistake and I am having huge regret. Not the end of the world, I have 4 beautiful children and 4 sections already is a risk factor but I can't help but feel a little sad. I am wondering how your tubal reversals went and the details etc. I haven't mentioned this to my dr, with fear he'll think I'm a nut. But truthfully, I do haev regret. I have mentioned it a little to friends and family, and they just stare in disbelief. Anyhow, its how I feel.
Hi everyone, i am 37 yrs old, never have children and had never tried until i got married in March 2008. My husband (36yrs old) and i started trying in April 08. Now it's Oct and i am still not pregnant. I am a bit worry and wondering if i should go see my doctor, or should i just keep trying for couple more months?
Since this would be your sixth month trying, I would probably set up an appointment with a specialist or RE. They say to wait one year if your under 35 or six months if you're over 35. Maybe start by talking to your obgyn and see if he can refer you to an RE. Best of luck to you!
