Anyone over 35 and trying to get pregnant?

Hi there,

I am 38 yr old just had my tubes reversed on June 15th, 2007. Just would like to find others that are older and are trying to conceive as well. I have 3 children 22, 19, 8.

I see alot of younger women on here trying to conceive, though we all share a common desire, some people think older women are nutty for trying again. I get that alot , so looking for support, for other who are going through this same situation.

If you would like to share your story, PLEASE post !!! We get to start trying in about 6 weeks, just being 5 days outside surgery I can wait that time...LOL This is very exciting  yet stressful as the possibility of not becoming pregnant, and the xtra challenges older mommy to be's face.  I wish everyone who is trying the best of LUCK!!! =)

Kelly~

I've got all of you beat. How about 45 and ttc. First IVF failed. So heart broken. Had an ectopic pregnancy years ago then a miscarrige. But not giving up. You have to hold on to hope. Means everything. Prayers for all of us struggling with this. Debra

You know, you are pretty inspirational yourself...  Not many people would be able to handle going on to #6 IUI.  Not to mention all you have to go through before you even get to #1.  I have to say, I thought you handled this last one like a champ.  You had your day of mourning, but you seemed to have bounced back, ready to take on the next challenge.  That what is all about.. being able to handle the disappointments, and being able to see the potential ahead of you.  I've learned a lot from you also.  :)  

As well as many others...

I'm 39 and it took us 5 months to conceive. I was pretty surprised that it was so quick and we feel incredibly blessed.  I'm now 14 weeks and feeling good.

I wish I could take our good fortune, bottle it, and send it out to all of you!

I would do it in a heartbeat!!!! You girls are the best!!!
