Conception Frustrations II?
If you're trying to conceive and it's taking longer than you had hoped, what frustrations are you running into? Is it that just about everyone around you seems to be pregnant? Or, something someone said? Or, is you-know-who (your mom, his mom...) pressuring you or asking when way too often? Does it sometimes feel like TTC is more like Trying to Cope?

Advanced Maternal Age

Posted by: FaeFae on Mon Feb 22, 2010

Well I'm what the doctor calls Advanced Maternal Age, 35 isn't old to me but apparently it is to my eggs. I was a teen mom had our first when I was 18 had no problem getting pregnant with him. We tried after we got married nothing happened, then again when our son was 8. I got pregnant but lost the pregnancy when I was 9 weeks. This was after I had Cervical Cancer surgery, they said I'd never carry a pregnancy to full term. So I assumed they were right. 8 years after I lost that pregnancy my husband and I talked about it and got serious we wanted to try again. So we did...... 7 months later I was pregnant. Now we have two gorgeous son's, one is 17 a Senior in HS and the baby is 11 months. We didn't want the baby to be lonely so we're ttc again which is totally frustrating me it's not happening again and I'm thinking to myself I'm getting older and older and older I don't want to be 40 and pregnant. Is there anyone out there that is an older mom like me that might have some soothing advice on how I can just chill and go with it????
