Trying to Conceive for the 3Rd Time at 35 Yrs Old

Hi S.,

We are kinda in the same boat. I just turned 38 years old and have two beautiful daughters ages 4 yo and 19 mo. It took 3 years of trying (and eventually fertility drugs) to conceive my first daughter, and then 9 months (totally natural) to conceive my second. We are trying for #3 and are also hoping for that boy this time around to complete our family. We have been trying for 2 months. I told my husband I don't want to do fertility drugs this time around (even though because of my age it may help speed things along) and if its meant to be, than we will conceive naturally again but once I turn 40 the womb is closed for babymaking. I actually think it was easier to conceive my second at age 35 because I wasn't stressed about getting preggers. I was too busy dealing with my first daughter. When you least expect it and stop trying, it WILL happen. And 3 months is really not that long even if you got preggers pretty easy in the past. I would not get discouraged - I don't think your age will be a factor in getting preggers at all. Have fun, enjoy your two and #3 will be here shortly. Good luck and I hope we are both blessed in the near future!!!!

S.,

I read your profile and I think you still have a good chance that you'll get pregnant as long as you do your regular doctor visits. Just remember that after every pregnancy your body changes. After you had your one year old your body must have changed, and remember as you age your body changes as well. But no worries keep on trying, don't give up and good luck with. Take Care. :)

Hi S. -
Have you heard of Juice Plus? It's 17 whole food fruits and vegetables in a capsule and is extremely effective in helping woman concieve and in reducing pregnancy complications. I encourage you to listen to this doctor speak about the importance of fruits and vegetables during pregnancy. He will give you confidence that you can create the best environment for you to conieve and for your child as he/she grows and beyond:

I heard a speaker recently who talked all about health and nutrition. I was blown away by the pregnancy study results. If I can get my hands on the chart she showed, I'll email it to you. Basically, it compared pregnant women that took nothing, pregnant women who took prenatal vitamins, and those who took both prenatal vitamins AND Juice Plus. When measuring the incident rate of several conditions (miscarriage, low birth weight, preclampsia and several others), the patients taking both prenatal vitamins and Juice Plus had none of these conditions and their babies were born healthier! So make sure you are taking both prenatals and Juice Plus daily.

Here's a testimonial from another one of my customers:
Its Kiki.
I just want to tell you that I have been taking my juice plus without fail twice a day.
I have to tell you that at my last Dr. visit I gained only 3 lbs, which is much better than my first trimester where I gained 5 lbs in the one month before juice plus. I think juice plus is why because it keeps everything flowing and digesting. I have hardly any sugar cravings and when I do....I only need a little bit to satisfy me like a normal human being, not like a crazy pregnant lady looking for anything not nailed down. HA
Also, my skin and complexion is almost flawless, I've never had completely clear skin. My hair is extra extra shiny. Some of this is pregnancy hormones, but I know juice plus has given me the boost I needed. I feel clean and healthy . I'm getting compliments everyday of the GLOW and I actually see it too.
Just wanted to let you know the progress. I'm 18 weeks now, already halfway done.
Thanks for the juice plus. I am enjoying it and see the difference.

As the others said, 3 months isn't a long time. Try not to 'stress' about it, as stress itself can impede conceiving. I was older than you when I got pregnant with my 1st child. Try not to worry. My OB told me that if after 6 months, nothing happens, then, maybe you can talk about it with your doctor. For me, getting pregnant the first time took awhile, longer than 6 months...but the doctor still wasn't worried. Then I got pregnant when I wasn't expecting it. Then with my 2nd pregnancy, I was older still... but got pregnant naturally. I just tried not to stress about it. If your doctor can rule out biological/medical problems...then you're probably fine.(And yes, OB/GYN's check the Husband too for fertility problems etc.) But yes, as they say, our "age" (both for women AND men), can impact fertility and ability to conceive. Yes, the MEN too. Is your Hubby older or younger or the same age? I know it's hard, but try not to worry about it or stress about it or feel anxious. Just have fun trying. Keep in mind your 'ovulation' days and symptoms and track it in a calendar. During ovulation is typically the only window of time a women can get pregnant, although I know there seems to be women out there who can get pregnant anytime it seems. There are also "ovulation calculators" online that you can do a "google" search for. It helps, as that is what I did. Good luck!

I conceived first try with my daughter at age 24. Now I am 33 and pregnant but we tried for three months before I got my positive. I have an exact 31-day cycle, could always tell when I was ovulating, and yet it took three tries. My doctor wouldn't even see us for infertility for 6 months, some doctors say to try for a year before they consider you problematic.

Good luck!

You are right, 3 months is not a long time. Keep trying. Unless something has changed healthwise b/w you or your hubby, it's likely you just need to relax and it will happen. I was 39 when I first conceived and 40 for the birth. I concevied right away and although I had every test in the world, baby and I were completely healthy and fine. You are putting too much pressure on yourself - wanting it too much right now. Relax, and put your focus on something else (and of course 'do it' when ovulating) and it will happen. You are clearly a fertile turtle - just be patient!

Hi S.! I'm 30 and I have two girls (10 and 8). I'm recently remarried and my husband and I tried for like a year before we were finally able to get pregnant (I'm almost 2 months along now).

After about 4 months of trying, I asked my doctor what was wrong (I had NO problems getting pregnant in the past) - I was concerned that it was my age, my weight, the length of time since my last pregnancy, or any other thing that was preventing it from happening right away. He said that most couples who try conceive within the first year and asked me to wait until then before they started checking for fertility problems. It was hard to wait and I swear I took a pregnancy test every time my period was an hour late, but here we are finally ... it literally was about 11 months.

Wow! You sound exactly like Me! I have a 12 yr old & a 2 1/2 yr old & a 1 yr old. All Girls! My Husband & I had no problem conceiving. I was 35 when I became pregnant with my last daughter. It happened right away. I don't think 35 is OLD! Hee Hee! Just keep trying Sweetheart. The only difference with Doctor's appointments, once you get pregnant, is that he/she will recommend more test for "older aged women." We tried for the Boy each time, but got Girls, instead. I LOVE it! Now, I wouldn't know what to do with a Boy. Good luck!
