Forum: Over 35 and Pregnant

Hello Ladies, I'm looking for a high risk, patient, caring, and competent OBGYN, either in Manhattan or Forest Hills, Queens. Please let me know if you have an amazing OBGYN. THANKS!

Hello Y'all.... I'm a 43 year old mother to 4 kids. Three are now adults and one is a teen. I remarried and after a year into the marriage we decided to try for a baby. I am now naturally 4 wks pregnant. I've had mixed emotions since deciding we would try. One main reason why is because I am a...

Hi...just thought I would pass along this information...I met with my OB today and we were talking about the dreaded AMA and the nucal screening and the risks of CVS. Apparently there is a brand new blood test called MT21 plus . It is a blood test that is much more definitive than the quad screen...

I am 6w4d now. I have morning sickness every morning and I also sneeze every morning. Does this happen to anyone else? It's as if the nausea is making me sneeze. In fact when I'm most certain that I will lose my crackers (so to speak) it seems to make me sneeze instead and the nausea eases off a...

Guess that I'm looking for some inspiration here. I had a son (at 41, he's now 21 mos) and would so love another. Wonder if at 43 I should just give in .... do we have one last IVF in us !! Anyhoo, just curious if there are any other gals a similar age (I'm 43.4) who are pg :) Teresa :) ...

Hi All - I am 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow with excellent rising HCG numbers and progesterone but because of my history - 3 miscarriages, 1 ectopic I am scared to death! I want to enjoy this time but I can't help but feel so down and I have been crying every day expecting to lose this baby. I...

Hi there, I am 35 , will be 36 in October. I have been on 5 cycles of Chlomd, to no avail, and am in the 2ww on this cycle. I would love to hear the symptoms, EARLY, that you had? Cramps, bleeding, twinges, etc.. It will make me feel better! *smile* Thanks

Hello all, It has been many years since I have posted. Here is a quick background. Started TTC at 38. 6 months natural, 6 months clomid, 5 IUI cycles - nothing. Moved on to IVF, first one nothing...finally second one - concieved DS at 40 with eggs. Tried for second at 42, after 5 more IVF's...

I have to rant for a moment. I am SICK TO DEATH of people telling me that I don't know what I know. Why is it when you are a stay at home mom, giving up a lucrative professional career, that people slowly start to think you are dumb and that you don't know what you are talking about? UGH. I...

Hi- Here is the short version.... two children, no complications or difficulty getting pregnant in 2004 and 2006. TTC #3 since 2008, 4 m/c's, Per RE, unexplained Secondary IF, just have to wait for "golden egg". I am about 7 1/2 wks pregnant and it is SLOW going and not going well. This was a...

Hi. I'm 40 and single and decided to have a baby on my own. First two cycles cancelled because of a very fast response (day 5 almost ready to go). 4 eggs once 1 egg once. Has anyone had a successful pregnancy after this?

HI! I'm not really "new" to this forum, I was here 2 years ago on a #1 IVF/PDG cycle that unfortunately ended in a m/c by 12 weeks. I'm presently on my 2ww after FISH 5 panel with 2XY HB on a 5dt. As of 4dp5dt there was a nice squinter on a $ hpt and a BFP FMU on a 5dp5dt within 4 mins on...

Hi! :wave: New to this site and not sure what forum I belong in so I'll probably post in several areas but being 38 and pregnant...I thought this was the most relevant place to start. I am 38 and 9 weeks pregnant with twins after IVF. Anyone out there in sim sit? :egg::egg:

Hello Ladies, I have been searching for a thread like this to have a preggers buddy. Please join!! This is my first baby, I am over the moon and I know you ladies are also.

Hi there Got a +hpt this weekend. Did the Clear Blue digi test that tells you how far along you are. It came up "pregnant 1-2", so if I do the math based on my cycles (because they are longer than the standard 28 days) I would be 4 weeks today. It's early, only hubby knows, we've told no...

Hi Ladies, our preliminary first trimester screening result came back as 1 in 2500. I'll be 37 when baby is born.... My husband is getting paranoid and still wants a definitive result with amnio... His paranoia is getting to me now LOL Our Level II ultrasound isn't until 19 weeks..I'm almost...

Would love to hear from any of you ladies willing to share your early pg symptoms. Completed 2 IVF cycles in Houston and moved to Denver a year ago. At age 38 I am wanting to try again for #2. New RE starts my workup, including a Clomid challenge. I responded really well, with 2 follies...

Hi all I have a 3 y/o dd from a previous IVF cycle. i had to undergo 3 ivfs to get her. now my DH wants her to have a sibling and wants to try one more ivf. i too feel the same and would love to have one more child, but i am 37 now. i get stressed out and scared reading about the complications...

Hi there We just had our NT screen and first trimester blood work. My risk for Down's came back about 1/1100+ and negative for trisomy 18. I will be 40 when I deliver next winter. My husband and I now need to decide if we are going to do an amniocentesis in a few weeks. The clinic we go to has a...

Hi Everyone Im Sam, 35 and overweight. Im concerned about a twin pregnancy and thought i would reach out to see if others can give some insight. (im posting this in the multiples forum too) Im wondering if you had any complications due to age or weight with a twin pregnancy? Did you have any...

My husband and i have been TTC for over 5 years, we have had 6 failed IUIs and i have an appointment scheduled for a laparoscopy at the end of the month. My last period was on 24th April, on the 24th May i had a light postive on HPT so i went for a beta and the result was 12. My ovulation...

I know every woman/pregnancy is different but I am still so disappointed... 3 years ago with DD I was 1.5-2cm for 6(!) weeks (weeks 35-41). It's true I was carrying DD much lower than this LO, that probably makes a difference, but the whole DD birth experience was so perfect for me, I keep...

Hi everyone. I had 3 children when I was MUCH younger (my baby is 16 years old now) and I can't remember having this tough of a time completing physical tasks at 24 weeks pregnant like I am now! Otherwise, I have had a better pregnancy than with my first 3 but we are currently packing up to move...

I'm 42 this time around, my first two at 36 and 39 I did only the non-invasive testing. had great risk numbers, 1 in 400 and 1 in 1000. Now, I'm feeling I need to do CVS and not wait for the screening tests and then amnio in case there is a problem as that would be awfully late in the pregnancy...
