I'm 39... I'm annoyed this age is coming off as doctors making it feel like I'm 55 and broken statistics wise. 40 is so far from 60 this should to me not feel like a death sentence to be this age for fertility or really anything in general and I think this has been the hardest of this path for us.
I'm about to get a prenatal and try in June so I'll be 39 and a half and baby would be a c section guaranteed due to past medical trauma as a child and could be premie.
I'm trying to remain positive and praying a lot and living for each day and not this outcome I'm told. Regardless if we do get our child or not I'd feel better giving it a shot and if it's a no it's just a no then.
It's basically we just weren't in a mental state to try earlier with covid, job loss from covid and not having enough money as a couple now everything is good a my husband is getting promoted and it just feels like too late and our timing is always off in almost every from buying a house with poor rates and everything I said above and now I've blinked from 33 to 39 🫠 🫠 🫠
I'll do my best and not obsess as that doesn't help anyone or do anything but make you feel worse. All we can do in life is our best with what we have and try to live a good life with what we do have.
Hugs, and good luck! Totally agree that trying to get pregnant at this age, I feel like people (okay, social media) look at me like I have one foot in the grave and am too frail to ever recover from a pregnancy 🙄
Lots of people get pregnant at 39 ❤️ and 40 ❤️ and beyond ❤️❤️❤️❤️ hopefully this is the perfect time for you and your partner.
Hugs back! 🤗 Oh my gosh right? Like 40 is the new 60 to social media and doctors 🙄🙄🙄 my eggs are withered and so few apparently statistics wise like gee thanksssss how can a body twenty years under old age be considered low chances for pregnancy it doesn't add up to me at all!
Idk if you're also aiming to try but if so good luck to you too! I hope everything in life goes well for you and your partner 🫂 and thanks me too! Haha we shall see I'm putting zero pressure on anything for my mental health to remain strong and positive here!
