I have been trying for my 1st baby for the last 2yrs. After consulting several gynaecologist, all of them told me that my chances are very low because of my age, my endometriosis and small ovaries conditions.
I refuse to give up hope of being a mother. Am I kidding myself? After each doctor's visit, my heart sink at the thought that I may never have a chance to have my own baby.
My husband doesn't know my condition. He would be devastated if he has to give up hope.
Anyone knows where I can find help?

Id go to a fertility specialist and get some concrete answers, Ive heard great thing about fertility treatments at that age. My friend is 42 and she had a perfectly handsome, smart little boy last year. It was her first and a surprise, she took really good care of herrself all her life though. She recently hasd a misscasrriage but that isnt stopping her from trying for possibly another while she still can. I laughed the other day becuase my mom came home from her yearly OB appt. and the doctor told her to be careful that she still could get pregnant, she thought she was going through menopause and she's 54! All her kids are in their 30's! I believe in faith but I also believe in science, I would get a good doctor to tell you your options and if not ADOPTION! Goodluck, godbless.

Well your chances are pretty slim, but it's not unheard of. A lot of people your age conceive through fertility help, but my ex's aunt got pregnant by accident at age 43. If dealing with doctors who say you're told old is the problem, just keep shopping around. Look up articles about women who had babies at an advanced age, it will usually name the doctor, try to contact that doctor.
Honestly though, just being realistic, I think you should start looking into adoption at the same time (because it can take years). I hear people say that 'i want my own child' or 'but it's not the same', but honestly, if they just changed their attitude, they would see what an amazing feeling adoption is. After that child has been with you for a year or so, and calls you mom, and you're chasing after them or cheering them on at soccer practice, or helping them with homework... it doesn't matter that they didn't come out of your body! Be realistic, or could end up cheating yourself out of an amazing opportunity to experience motherhood.

Well there is never a "no hope approach" because I have seen many woman have babies at way older ages. You might be able to ask a fertility specialist? I am a little prejudice in this field being that I was a surrogate for three couples with the intended mothers being older themselves. I unfortunately lost my uterus this last time, which was okay for me in being I was done with my own children although it has affected me in other areas ( another situation as it is lol). Keep trying and never "give up home" which a lot of people have been telling me about my "bed room problem".
www.thesurrogacysource.com (very informative has a lot of infertility doctor links) Keep trying there is never NO HOPE for babies. There are so many alternatives like adoption, surrogacy, big brother, big sister programs, ect ect.

Giving birth to a new life is indeed a blessing which almost every woman would wish to have. How to get pregnant naturally https://tr.im/YEi25
Enjoying the feeling of motherhood and raising a family would surely be a couple’s dream. Some get it naturally, while for some others things don’t seem to work as they desire. These reasons which stop a women from conceiving can be due to either physical reasons or truly physiological.

Didn't some French woman just have twins at like 65? I don't think you are too old, but your endometriosis and ovaries are giving you problems. Of course, that being said, my mother and sister both have it. My sister had twins and then another son. My mom had six kids, four after one of her ovaries was removed. Have you had a laparoscopy? Many women are at their most fertile after one. That may be one of your best chances.
If it doesn't happen, you both may still be able to find a great deal of love and fulfillment from adoption. There are so many little babies that would be blessed to have you two as their parents. Good luck to you!

Once a woman reaches menopause, she is no longer able to reproduce. Until this happens, a pregnancy can still occur. Theres still a chance! good luck!
you may want to do some research on the sex hormone estradiol.
Hormone replacement therapy
If severe side effects of low levels of estradiol in a woman's blood are experienced (commonly at the beginning of menopause or after oophorectomy), hormone replacement therapy may be prescribed. Often such therapy is combined with a progestin.
Estrogen therapy may be used in treatment of infertility in women when there is a need to develop sperm-friendly cervical mucus or an appropriate uterine lining.
Estrogen therapy is also used to maintain female hormone levels in male-to-female transsexuals.

If you are still ovulating, you can get pregnant. Both of my sisters got pregnant in their 40's.
I would recommend seeing a fertility Dr, and letting your husband know that you are having problems. If you are not able to get pregnant on your own, have you considered adoption?
Good luck. I hope everything works out for the best for you.

I suggest your seek help from a physician specialized in infertility. There is still hope but, there are a number of factors associated with aging that decrease the probabilities of having a successful pregnancy. My wife is unable to bear children. We were blessed with a lovely adopted son. I have a natural son from a previous marriage and can honestly state that I love both children and in my mind there is no difference. While adoption is not the universal solution, it may be worth your consideration.

FIrst of all, it is still possible, but with the slim to low chances that have been told you, the best thing for you to do is to start taking some healthy vitamins and supplements... one thing that has been highly recommended is Omega 3 & 6 fish oils!
They did miracles for my daughter... and we have the most beautiful baby girl who is now just over a year old! Talk to a really good naturepath, homeopathologist... don't give up ok!
Good luck and name her after me ok! Hahahha! J/K! ;0)

The Dr.s are somewhat right. Age is a big factor, and it starts already in the late 20s - believe it or not. Try changing your tune - relax while having intimate relations w/ husband - don't think of "I HAVE to get pregnant", and also start researching other options.
Holistic medicine? Relaxation, massages, etc?
Surrogacy? - Your husbands sperm, your eggs - another woman carries the baby.
Or adoption, perhaps?
Lots of luck!
