Anyone over 35 and trying to get pregnant?

[azqtpies]

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!!! =)

Hi all!
I'm 38 and have been trying for eight months. I miscarried twins 9/3/08 at seven weeks. I just got the green light for my Dr. to try again with my next period. We are full steam ahead and not looking back. I know my baby is yet to come!!
Good luck and prayers for all who go through this struggle.

I turn 40 in 2 weeks and am in the middle of my 2 week wait (I'm still trying to figure out all the abreviations, 2ww?) I've had a little pain in my lower abdomin but today I feel a lot of cramping and lower back pain.  Very much like mentrual pain.  Am I reading right that this might be a good sign?  I'm glad to read others are going through similar things a similar ages.  I feel a bit weird at 40 and just now trying to have a baby.

Clomid 50mg--didnt work
Femara 2.5mg 2x's a day (cd3-7) 1st 2 cycles made nice follies, last 2 NOTHING
Novarel 10,000unit trigger shot---didnt O
Follistim shots---started with 150 units (2 shots) for 7 days, and 225 units (3 shots) for 4 days--Eggies were too small to even talk about!!

Hi, 40 turning 41 in late October, I have a 15 1/2 year old son from my first marriage. DH and I have been TTC for 2 years. We've been preg twice, sadly both ended in a miscarriage. We turned to fertility treatment to enhance our chance. We've had two unsuccesful IUI's 4-amps of Repornex and Trigger shot; currentyly I am resting due to a cyst on my right ovary which I am sure will disappear by next round unless I get a BFP later next week RE told me that I could still get pregnant on my resting cycle. Whit that being said this site has brought smiles to my face, and lots of hope so each day I am praying that we all get blessed soon. I figure that as along as AF pops in my chances are still there.

I am 34, lost my L ovary and uteris due to severe endometriosis about 6 years ago. Almost lost L kidney too, because adhesions and endo sticking to it and my uretor. I just had another consultation and doc thinks it's back and I knew, just knew he was right due to pain etc.  As you have probably guessed wants to take R ovary now.  Anyone else been through this?  Any advice?  I know I can't have children now, and want to desperately, but I don't even know who in Okie land harvests eggs, if even an option.  
  I'm not excited about HRT either.
  Just needing a little hope right now, I'm kind of down about latest news.
