I’m 34 years old. Two years ago, I found out I was pregnant (surprise)to have a loss at 12 weeks in May 2007. After waiting a few months, we ttc (with charting in August 2007) for 13 cycles and had 1-2 chemical pregnancies. Got checked and found out I had a bad tube that was washing away embryos Sept 2008 (abstained Sept, Oct, Nov and had surgery Nov 2008 to remove the tube). Immediately after the surgery I got pregnant in Dec to miscarry at 6 weeks Jan 2009. After one cycle, I then had another chemical pregnancy Mar 2009. This is now my 18th cycle TTC since the original loss, we abstained/missed for about 4 of those months, and had 3-4 types of pregnancies, all apparently with just one tube. Seems like when we get an egg on the right side we get pregnant, it's just not sticking. The recurrent pregnancy loss panel came back OK, hubby's sperm is fine, and I ovulate, I just have one tube and am getting old. Here's the deal…… I'm supposed to begin injections tonight for an IUI cycle - since my insurance covers them and they don't have the side effects. I'm terrified to get pregnant and terrified to not get pregnant. I want to take a break, but I feel that age clock ticking away. Husband does not want to take a break, he is excited to have a family, and feels that my fears are natural, just have to beat them. The RE's job is to get you preggo, so they’re about to go full blast. Got the meds sitting on the counter, and really just want to run away. The sooner I get pregnanct, I get my life back. But also too scared to try naturally, because if I’ve another loss, I will wonder if close MD monitoring and hormone supplementation could have prevented it. What would you guys do? Go for it?
Answer:
First of all sweetie, you ARE NOT OLD!!! There are women every day that have babies up into their 40s and 50s! It sounds to me like conception isn't the problem, but possibly a hormone imbalance that prevents your uterine lining from being as nutrient rich and thick for the baby to burrow into. Usually the medications you receive from your GP for fertility at first are just hormones that your body produces naturally, so side effects are minimal, and dangers are VERY low! If your insurance covers them, what will it hurt? You are just discouraged right now. And no one can blame you with an ordeal like that to go through. Just meditate and pray to find what your heart desires, and if your husband cares for you (and it seems he does a great deal) you should be able to discuss your concerns and proceed from there. Unfortunately, loss is a part of life, but if you can get help to try and prevent it, the YES!! GO FOR IT!!! GOOD LUCK!! AND LOTS OF BABY DUST!!!!
Answer:
I think that you should go for it. If you really want to go through a pregnancy then go for it. This is something most women want to experience in there life. If for some reason it does not happen– try adoption.
Answer:
I'd say go for it. Good luck!
Answer:
go for it!
Answer:
I tried for a baby for 8 years. I had 3 miscarriages. I finally gave up and started to think that kids were not in my future. As soon as I relaxed and started focusing on other things I got pregnant. I then got pregnant again when my son was about 2 months old. I now have 2 fabulous boys. Looking back, I regret all of the time that I spent worrying about getting pregnant. My boys got here right when they were supposed to. Rest. You might be surprised at the outcome. Good Luck
Answer:
I would give it a try! I to have had many loses but I also know in my heart and have come to realize it wasn’t my fault and when it is meant to happen it wil. I told my dr. in Nov. I wanted my tubes tied after that lose he said NO WAY! I cant do that you have no live births I said yes I have the ability to. I’ve 4 adopted children and after 5 yrs of trying I’m done! Well we decided to do some checks on my husband and my dna to see if that was causing a problem! The Dr. called stated I have some great news and some news I’m not sure ur ready for, I got scared to death. He said ur Dna blended is fine and great. I stated umm ok so what new you got then he said your about 3 wks pregnant! I about died cause we never get pregnant this swift. I am now 12 wk 2 days and I went for 12 appointment yesterday and he said I need you to go for emergency ultrasound as I have the ability to not find a heartbeat! I just knew it was happening again to me. But we got there first thing she said was babies moving. I said thats good right she stated yep have to have a heartbeat to be moving like that
So sure enought she found one and it was 157. So far everything is great! But I do worry everyday as I’m scared! But I pray everyday and know I can only do so much to not have one but there’s a lot that is out of my hands if it happens..I think you should give it a try as a baby is what you dream of having in your life. I wish you the best of luck..Answer:
I definitely think you should give it a try. Think about this.. What If you do give up and in another 5 years you think back and state to yourself, “If only I would have kept on trying”… Save yourself the “what if” and just keep on going. Also, what If you do continue to try and 5 years later you look at your 5 year old and say to yourself, “What if I would have given up?”. Believe in yourself and this will happen. Live healthy, pray and always keep a positive outlook. Ideal wishes! =)
