pregnant at age 37

Hi Early2, I went to several doctors and they all said the same thing to me that I was too early for menopause this must be stressed and yes I was going through a lot full-time school full-time work relationship issues but that did not take away from the fact that my hormone levels were super wack my estrogen level dropped to 12 so please don't let anyone tell you that you were too young for menopause or pre-menopause to me at 34 and I'm still dealing with issues at 37 anxiety, we gain,

I'm 37, DH is 39. We have 3 girls with us, I lost a son when he was five. This is my fifth child and I'm terrified about my age and the stats that blare a neon light in our "advanced maternal age" faces :( I despise that term. I conceived almost immediately with all of my children once we decided to try. It took no more than a few months each time. This current pregnancy? Almost three years. We had given up and thought us past our prime. Surprise!

m so happy to be experiencing this at this time and at this age and I will not let anyone irritate me about why I didn't get all my kids out the way when I was younger.I experienced the loss of two pregnancies and sometimes people dont know what another person is going through but I'm sooooo happy to see so much encouragement and positive feedbackon this post.(this may be long but I'm just happy)God bless all.

Hii im much older 26..and im 27 weeks of gestation.nice to know you all moms to be.this is my first pregnancy.

m pretty sure you could get pregnant at 37.there is lots of women on here your age and even older who are pregnant.

Hello I am new at this fourm, I joined this very month regarding the HPV, I recently got confirmed that I have a CIN 1 HPV dysplasia, my gyn offered two options, one of them being, wait and get pregnant if that's what i was planning for my coming future, since I just turned 35 this past august, or clear the virus now but she stated that I will not be able to get pregnant for at least 1 and a half years after the treatment is done.

Hello everyone. I am 37 almost 38, my periods were very regular and on time. but this year in April it became very unusual for me very, very light, no symptoms. just very odd for me. so I went to the doctor and did an exam and nothing. Then in September yet another "no period" no symptoms. I ignored it thinking it was stress. ( really I have been more stressed and my periods were never off) then October it was regular and November was off and this month I had a 2 week cycle.

At 37 you are not too old. If he is up for it, he is not too old either. My neighbors had their first child when she was 49 and he was 59. They are doing great with their now second grader. The only thing to be concerned about, in my opinion, is that when college hits you two will need to have your retirement money secure and separate from the challenge of helping a kid fund college.

nothing abnormal to stare at me for, and twice now women around the age of 45 who are with their families eating at a nearby table just STARE. I mean Full ON STARE. Its so uncomfortable I just want to stand up and say WTF ARE U LOOKING AT ME FOR!! Its so rude! The first lady looked mean about it and the second just stared and ignored her family. Im not doing anything wrong. Has anyone else gotten plain stared at too? Have u said something? What to do!

By march I was pregnant. But at 8 weeks pregnant I miscarried. We were upset. But by October I found out I was pregnant again. With the shot it will take at least a year to completely get out of your system. Hang in there. You'll be pregnant before you know it.

I do not think the rate is that high for 40+. After a failed tubal reversal it took me a few tries at ivf and I am now 18 weeks at age 37. Your overall health doesn't tell anything about your ability to conceive. You'll have to have several tests to determine fertility and your chances for conceiving through ivf. If you are serious I would consult an RE and get started right away. I wish you the best and hope it works out for you.

Hey im 35 36 in nov im bout to have my second bbyhad my first at 21 hes 14 in august i say go for it a friend of mine had a bby at 38 and hes best mates with my son

I'm preggo with #2 at 36. I'm shocked because I tried to get pregnant again when I was 32-33 with no luck. I just finally gave up trying for the past 3 years. Then boom! Out of nowhere. I'm pregnant. I'm so worried now because I'm older and I'm scared of the risks.

I'm 38 and due on Wednesday. I'm scheduled for a section tomorrow. There a lady on here that's pregnant at 51 so I'd say you're in good company!

Both me & hubby r 18, ill be 19 on my due date- july 12th so ill be 37 weeks tomorrow!

Doctors wouldnt have anything to do with me because of ivf and age. If a man fathers a child at the same age everyone pats them on the back and congrayulates their verility. but it is still tabboo in our culture. we are treated as if there is something wrong with us. Sorry for having a grumble Lol : ) You can also get private blood tests at private hospitals but some need a referel and is very expensive.

My mom had me at the age of 40. As a special ed. teacher, I have learned that the risk of having a child with down syndrome is higher for women at mid age and it's sometimes harder to conceive. Otherwise, if your doc says you're healthy enough go for it, they will probably just test your fluid while you're pregnant for the down syndrome.

It said that this clinic has 24% of women from age 38-40 get pregnant. The national average is only 19%. Those numbers did not seem too promising to me. Yes, I could be part of the percentage that does, I was just hoping for a higher rate. :( Does anyone have other statistics?
