Hi, I am 37 and my husband is 31. We have been trying to conceive since last July. I did get pregnant in November, but had a missed miscarriage on December 15th. We have been trying with no luck ever since. I found out that I had fibroids that were small at the time of my miscarriage, but the doctor does not think that was the cause. I have a 10 year old daughter from a previous relationship and had no problems conceiving when it came to her. I feel now that age just snuck up on me. Hope to get pregnant soon. Doctor wants to start tests by the end of July if nothing has happened by then.

Welcome Second Try!!!
I am so sorry to hear about your miscarriage! Know that the women here are super supportive and wonderful, so lean on them all you want to!!!
Sending lots of baby dust your way!

Hey everyone! I just turned 39 and my husband is 30 and we have been trying since September with no luck. I am starting my first round of Clomid tomorrow. Not really sure what to expect. I have heard it gives some women bad mood swings. Not looking forward to that but I am hoping it will do the trick. Good luck to all of us "older woman" on here

Hey! I just turned 33, my husband is 35. We have a 14 month old daughter. I just had a natural miscarriage earlier this week, and from everything I've read it's ok to start ttc right away because it happened so early (6 1/2 wks). Since I had no problems with my first, I thought the second time around would be the same. To our disappointment it was not! We're not giving up though and plan to start trying again right away!

Hi all. I am 38 and my boyfriend is 41. We have been TTC for 7 months. Tomorrow we are going to see a fertility specialist. Any advice before the appointment?

Hi ladies!

I'm turning 36 next week, and my husband and I are in the beginning stages of trying to conceive our first child. I stopped taking birth control at the end of May, and started taking Metformin around the same time (I have PCOS). I started charting with my current cycle to try and determine if in fact I even ovulate on my own. We'll see!

Hi Everyone,

I am probably the "old hag" of the group thus far. I'm 41 and my husband is 46. I have a 23-year-old stepson, and have 2 teenage daughters 18 and 16 from my first marriage. Together we have our 4 year old son who took us 2 years to create. Most of you would probably think....why in the world we would want to get pregnant at our age and when we already have plenty of kids?? I had always planned on having another child relatively soon after having our son more than 4 years ago. That plan was interrupted by the unplanned pregnancy of my stepson's girlfriend who now we have no contact with. I took care of their baby full time until they moved 1600 miles away from us. It was a heartbreaker. In the midst of this my son was diagnosed with autism and has made great strides and is now considered high-functioning and that most people would never guess that he ever had the label of autism slapped on his back. Almost a year ago, he was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Wilms tumor and had 6 months of chemo. It was a total shock with an unbearable emotional toll on us. He is now doing great and just had his port removed....hopefully forever. He is a fighter. My husband had spent the past 2 years sleeping downstairs so as not to get me pregnant, which you can imagine created a lot of hurtful feelings. In hopes of getting our marriage back to being strong and healthy, this past May I got pregnant and miscarried very early in the pregnancy. That brief time was the happiest time that we had had in our marriage in the past 3 years. We were obviously heartbroken over it. With much talking about the possibility and reality of having a baby with Down's syndrome or another child with autism, we decided......well we were already pros in the world of the unexpected when it comes to raising a family and feel prepared for whatever God will bless us with. We have decided to take the gamble and pray that we will be blessed with a healthy baby, so I went online and bought Fertilaid for both of us. We will try to get pregnant in September and hope that it will happen then or soon after, since the ticking of my biological clock is ticking louder and louder every day. Wishing everyone success in trying to conceive their bundles of joy!

Best wishes,
Michelle Woodworth

Although I am not over 35 yet (although DH is now 36!) I am just pushing 30, I am amazed by your story!! Its not crazy to go back and have children when it seems like your oldest are already grown. My oldest sister at 35 (5 years ago) decided to give her DH a daughter of his own. The children they had (now 18 year old niece and 13 year old nephew) were my sisters from a previous marriage. He had no children of his own. But you still like to have that bond of a child between the two of you. Its your own special miracle creation. I commend you for all you have been through and hope and pray you receive you next miracle child. I also think your little boy is such an amazing human being to have been through so much at his young age and still going!! He's meant to do great things in this world!!
