Although it can be a bit more challanging for us 35+ to conceive, its certainly not uncommon or even unlikely. I am 39 and although I haven't carried to term yet, I seem to get pregnant fairly easily. And this forum is alll women 35+, and lots of them have conceived naturally. Have you taken a home pregnancy test? I would think that you would get a positive at this point if you were. Or a blood test through your doctor? Good luck to you, I hope you get the outcome you are looking for.
Thanks, and no, haven't taken the test yet. On my way to get it now. Am a bit nervous, but need to know. Is there a particular reason why you can't carry to term? I've read that older women usually have to take a few extra precautions, but nothing too different from younger women unless they have certain illnesses.
I have undergone a tonne of tests now, and they can't find a darn thing wrong with me, except I was a bit underweight (not anorexic or anthing, just a "little person".., and borderline anemic. I put on 10 lbs as suggested and am on iron therapy now. Also, I will be going on chlomide shortly (still not 100% sure why Dr. wants me on it, but I have another appointment this week, so I will get more explanation). I conceive naturally without too much trouble, but the longest I have made it is almost 10 weeks. I know the rate of miscarriage is only slightly elevated at our age, but its really the only thing besides a now corrected weight issue that makes any sense...its frustrating. I almost wish they would find something wrong with me so they could fix it...
Let me know the outcome of your test. Take care.
I took the test and it was negative, but tests can be wrong. I'm also thinking that maybe it's pre-menopause. I think I'm going to wait for my next period before I take any more tests.
I really hope that it works out for you. Keep on fighting :)
