Conceiving in mid-30's?? I've been scared by reports?

Question

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone out there can reassure me.

I have been trying to conceive now for around 4 months with no luck. I am 35 years old and my partner is 27. Recently there has been so many articles in the press about women in their mid-30s not being able to have children because they have left it too late that they have managed to scare me half to death!! The power of the mind is so strong, and I m worried that I'm actually preventing myself from getting pregnant because i'm so worried Im now too old! I had a miscarrage 3 years ago so know i have been able to conceive in the past.
Im trying to remain chilled about it all and not panic but it's difficult. Has anybody out there had similar worries that have turned out ok.? any tips on how to approach how I'm feeling?

Answer 1

I was 33/34 when I decided to have a baby and worried about the same thing. I now have a wonderful 7 month old son so just try to relax and not worry so much (I know that is easier said than done though). I checked out an online ovulation calculator to know when the best times to try were and it didn't take too long. I was told not to be suprised if it took up to a year for it to happen, so I wouldn't worry too much if it's only been 4 months. Good luck!!!!!!

Answer 2

I am sure that you will be fine. Try to stop worring so much about it and maybe you will concieve. I am only 25 and my husband and I are having a hard time. Finally we went to the dr and found out why. They just put me on some meds, I feel so much better and hopefully in the next three months it will work. My point is, it doesn't matter how old you are. I am young and having problems! If it is about 6 months and you have not conceived then make some appointments with the gyno. Actually, I don't know where you live but you might want to make that appointment now, cause sometimes it takes a few months to get in.

Answer 3

properly, i'd get a extra good birth control!!! And certain the type of abortions you've could have an outcome on your fertility contained in the destiny. you'll more effective than probably be in a position to have some contained in the destiny. even with the undeniable fact that, i wouldn't danger it this time round except you're garunteed. both supply it up for adoption or develop it. waiting or not. you extremely could get a extra good birth control!!!

Answer 4

I am 39 years old; will be 40 in January and just had my second child just over three months ago. My first child was conveived when I was 34 and born when I was 35. I was told I would never have children and was under no extra doctor treatments to get pregnant at the time of conception. There is hope. Give it time and give it to God.

Answer 5

First, four months isn't quite long enough to worry. After six months of trying, you might talk with your Dr. However, you've been pregnant before (one miscarriage shouldn't affect future fertility) so I would have your partner checked first. I also had a miscarriage a few years ago, and I'm pregnant again! Oh, and I'm 43 years old. So just relax, enjoy your partner, and take things as they come. Life's a journey.

Answer 6

I have known several women that have had children late into their 30's and into early 40's. It is possible. Just take good care of yourself. Go on and start taking prenatal vitamins (you can get them over the counter) to get your body full of much needed folic acid. Eat right and exercise. If you feel like you are having trouble with your cycles, go to GNC and get Vitex, it helps your cycles to regulate. And don't wait too long to see a doc. They'll probably see you 2 months from now.

Good luck!

Answer 7

You are stressing too much. If you have no family history of miscarriage or downs syndrome you should be fine. You treat your pregnancy as another by eating right, exercises, and no stress.

First baby at 23
I have my 2nd at 32 at 8 pounds 8oz
and I am pregnant with my 3rd and I am 35!

Good Luck!

Answer 9

My sister had her first at 37, and the second at 39...you should be able to conceive, so long as your cycles have been normal. If you're really concerned, I would ask a doctor for tips about timing, foods you can eat to boost fertility, and vitamins you should be taking.

Answer 10

Well good luck in your pursuit. My husbands mother was 37 when she gave birth to my husband. It was her first and only child. My aunt also had a baby later in life, she was 42 when she gave birth to her daughter.. it was fourth child. Good luck and keep your chin up. 35 seems to be the age a lot of women are having children.. they like to wait until they settled more in life. I say keep trying and remain positive!!
