I want to be pregnant


Hi,
I am 37 old and I have two beautiful boys (6 and half, 3). I want to pregnant one more time. Is it possible? Also I want to be pregnant with a beautiful girl. Please help. Any suggestions would be appreciated?

Best regards,

Of course you can still have another baby at 37!!!! That is not too old at all!! That was the age I had my beautiful little girl and I'm now 40 and trying for #2 (now that's getting  a bit old isn't it!!!) With the gender thing, I have done a lot of research and apparently if you want a boy you try and do it on the day of ovulation coz boy swimmers move straight to the egg and then die off, whereas the girl swimmers can stay in your body for 3-5 days, so perhaps try a couple of days before you know when you are ovulating and see if that works. Good luck!!

Why NOT?  If you have baby cravings, go for it.  You'll probably regret it later if you don't.  At age 39 we had baby cravings....we already have three healthy boys ages 11, 10 and 6.  We wanted to try for our girl.  We were shocked that we conceived on the first try.  But again, God is in control...At 8 weeks, I found that my baby had died at 6 weeks.  Now, I'm going through a very painful miscarriage.  We will just wait and see....my neighbor is 38 and is expecting her 4th...healthy pregancy....My friend had a baby at 43 and another at 44...all healthy girls.... Listen to your heart....and leave it in God's hands.  Blessings and good wishes.

Sure, it's possible :) I'm 39 and currently pregnant. We had to do IVF, but that was because my husband had a congenital defect. My doctor said my "insides" and my test results looked great and I likely could have conceived on my own otherwise. Before I tried to conceive, I definitely made some lifestyle changes, though (ate a lot better, dropped a few lbs, started exercising regularly. I think this all helped.)

If I were you, I'd get a blood work up with your OB just to make sure your numbers still look good (FSH, AMH, etc.) It might bring you a little peace of mind. I wish I would have done that sooner...good luck!!!

I am 37 and just confirmed today that i am preg with my 3rd child.  It took a while but i drank plain robitussin on day 14 and 15 of my cycle (day 1 of period is considered day 1).  I had sex the 14th and 15th days only.  It worked!  Another friend of mine was on clomid and had failed IV many times.  On the last try, she also drank robitussin and had twins!

Anything is possible, believe me. I'm 39 years old and currently 13 weeks 2 days pregnant with my 1st child after 3 years of TTC, 3 m/cs and 4 months of failed fertility drug treatments and IUIs. After 6 months of acupuncture and some small lifestyle changes (nutrition and yoga), I got my natural BFP! I will be 40 when I give birth to this precious baby in May 2012. God works miracles. I'm living proof! Good luck and keep the faith!
