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!!! =)

Hello ladies, I'm 37 and 61/2 weeks pregnant.  I've been pregnant 4x this being my 5th and I've had one micarriage and My second son passed away with SIDS.  My youngest child is six and me and my husband have not been using any protection in all those years and did not even have a scare.  Until August when my period did not happen and I started checking dates and guess what?  Now all I have to hope for is that I don't have a mc which is high at our age and I'm hoping for a little girl this time...I have 3 boys and guess what...My 21 year old daughter is expecting a lilltle girl in December! I'm going to be a grandmother and new mother at the same time, whew!!!  I say good luck to all you  ladies and don't give up hope, look what happened to me and I was told I wouldn't have kids after 30.  I think stressing about it also keeps us from conceiving, once I found out that my daughter told me she was pregnant and having a little girl, I started relaxing and getting into the role of being a grandmother, you know spoil them and then send them home (ha, ha).  I said to myself ,"self, my daughter is having the little girl and your done with babies" and then next thing I know I'm pregnant.  All I know is that when I stopped trying is when I got pregnant.   The mind is a very powerful tool and It can be good or bad.  Oh well...GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF YOU LADIES AND SAY A LITTLE PRAYER FOR ME AND LETS HOPE THIS LITTLE BEAN STICKS.

Hi,
I am 41 and TTC for five months. AF just arrived today and I was so sure that this was the month.
I had a very short luteal phase but now with the help of agnus castus, vitamin B complex and progesterone cream I have managed to lengthen it from around seven days to eleven this month.
I have two sons from a previous relationship and my husband has kids from his first marriage too. We just want a baby between us now to make our family complete.
Good luck to you all.

I am really new to this....I am 41.  I have never had any children.  I had 2 miscarriages.. one when I was 25 and anothwr in 1998.  

I have been ttc for 6 months.  I just got my period today so I am kind of sad.
I am making an appointment with my gyn tomorrow.

What should I expect?  What are the first steps?  I have read on this board where some of you are taking a drug called Clomid...  

Any advice on what to expect would be appreciated.

Thank you all in advance.
