Congrats! I’m 46 n finally decided i want to have a baby for the first time and it is more difficult than i expected. Do you mind sharing your lifestyle such as exercise diet vitamins etc? Thanks!
At 46 u r trying for 5 th baby, and cane to share here that how blessed you are lol , here the video is about being aged and having their first child and if u dont know even if u r 80 and want to have 20 th child, it will definitely be possible because u have 19 more but if u didn’t have any only then you will face problems
Whoever read this please everyone pray for me to have a baby, babies 🤰🧑🧑🧒🧒 I am getting pregnant soon and to have a happy Family in Jesus mighty name. Amen!
My mom was 46 when she had me. She had 3 babies, each of us 12yrs apart. I was completely unplanned! The doctors suggested she abort the pregnancy due to the potential for genetic abnormalities. My parents refused. After she passed away a few years ago, my dad told me that she never had a period again after she had me. I was literally her last cycle of eggs.
It's possible ..my wife and I got married and within 11 months she conceived at age 45 and we had our healthy baby daughter next year whn she was 46. She even did all household work, climbed mountain travelled to the other part of the world alone with baby and came back alone at 8 months all healthy fit and had easy childbirth...so if you hv regular periods it's possible.
Ok I was a long distance runner and did not menstrate untill.35. I thought I ruined my fertility!! Well imagine my surprise when I was 48 and found myself 6 months pregnant!!! Easy easy and healthy pregnancy!!! ( this is all natural.. No ivf) and guess what I had two more babies naturally and they were easy and healthy pregnancies!! I'm 55 now.instead of worrying about menopause I'm worrying about getting pregnant again!! I wonder if I unintentionally froze my eggs when my body fat was so low and menstration stopped!! I feel I did that!!
My grandma also had a surprise pregnancy in her mid 40's in the 1950's. She had 5 other kids already and thought she was done. She had most of her kids in the 1930's. Even back then they were telling women it wasn't possible at that age.
Y’all don’t give up hope. I’m 42.5 with one tube and found out I was pregnant when I went to a RE consult. I was going in to get help and I’m pregnant. I’m nervous cause I’ve miscarried in the past but I’ve put it in God’s hands ❤
You'll be fine! Stay strong and vigilant and take your precautions and eat healthy and sleep well! I miscarried before a healthy baby conceived naturally as a "geriatric" pregnancy. You'll be fine!
I m waiting wt lots if hope for my first baby. Faced two miscarriages.lose hopes. Can i follow further treatments after 44 with risk . is injection works or egg growth pills works or not ? Do i need iui or ivf ?pls reply mam
We did three days water fast. Me and my husband. Got pregnant in two months, had a child at 43 and a half. Our daughter is 14 years old now. Another thing we ate a lot of strawberries it was summer time❤
I’m 40.5. My husband and I had been trying to get pregnant for the last 6 months. I had my fertility evaluated and a polyp was found in my uterus. Had it removed in January and boom, conceived in the next ovulation cycle. I was about to start an IVF journey after the polyp removal, but now I don’t have to. I’m kind of conflicted about the timing because I’ll be almost 42 when I’d be ready to go through IVF for another baby and my eggs would be even older. But I’m so happy I was able to conceive naturally and pray that everything goes well through the first trimester (and beyond of course).
I just found out I have at least three fibroids, and I want a baby so badly. Was it difficult to get it removed? Was it large can I ask? Thank you so much for sharing your story with us❤️❤️
The polyp removal was really quick and simple. I was heavily sedated so I didn’t have to be awake for it. It’s like they went in with a “drill bit” and drilled out and extracted the polyp piece by piece like they were drilling for oil. 😄 I don’t think it was very big, but it was sitting right where the fallopian tube meets the uterus. Quite the obstruction! It turned out to be benign, but it may have prevented an embryo from implanting properly or getting past the first trimester. So removing any polyps sounds like a must. I hope yours are benign and are easy to remove. Good luck in your baby journey!
@@Amazonqn743 thank you so very much for your kind response ☺️ I had a fibroid (they think it was one) on the cervix on the inside and I keep miscarrying, but couldn't figure out why, til now... But my Dr doesn't want me to have them removed and he said I have multiple in my uterus, and actually they're so bad that I haven't been able to sit down in 15 months because the pain is off the charts. My OB said it was a nerve issue, and never told me they've been there the whole time😭😭 so it's been such a long journey but I've asked the Lord to heal me and I just found out I had these last Thursday, so I'm praying this is the first step to getting better, and actually being able to sit down!!!🤣😂🙏❤️☺️ I have to laugh about it because if not I'll cry😂😂 thank you so much for your time and beautiful story and enjoy your precious little one❤️❤️🙏🙏
Well, I ended up miscarrying at 9 weeks. I’ll be doing IVF as soon as possible, hopefully in the next 2 months. I’m heartbroken at the loss of what could have been, but this was a very real possibility with natural conception at this age. I don’t want to try to conceive naturally anymore. IVF only from here on out
Awww sweet girl, I'm so so sorry for the loss of your precious little baby😣😣😣 my heart aches for you right now... Praying the Lord will comfort your heart during this time of grief🙏🙏🙏
There are more and more women over 40 are embarking the fertility journey for the first time in their lives, me included. I hope better statistics can be done and give us a better picture
I’m 42 and after 1 miscarriage and 2 failed IVFs I finally got pregnant! We tried for 6 years! I had PCOS. What was different about the 3rd and successful IVF? I did this thing called hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 10 days right before embryo transfer. It finally implanted!
@@PromiceKapangawith IVF. I'm doing this now. You will take medicine to have menstruation. I'm 52. God bless me. But not all clinics accept to do it. In this clinic they can do it till 54/55 years old.
In October 2023 I fond out I was pregnant - unexpectedly. We had given up after trying scine 2019. Kind of just thought "Okay, it's not going to happen." So we where over the moon excited. Sadly, I lost my precious baby boy in December 2023 at 13 weeks and 5 days. I had a prefect ultrasound just 6 days before. He was sucking his thumb, moving around and had a strong heart beat. The DNA testing I had done came back fine. He was prefect. The doctors don't know why it happened. I asked if it was stress as we learnt we had to be out of our apartment shortly after I fond out I was pregnant. As they planned to fully renovate the building. So we where in the progress of buying our first home when it happened. They said no. So here I am, turning 40 in 3 days and I've been trying to get pregnant again scine January.
Thank you for the insightful video, Doc! This is just a reminder to everyone reading this-it's never too late. Believe in yourself and give it your all. Age is just a number!
Had a reversal in December of 2021. Vasectomy in 2003. Got remarried in March of 2022. My wife and I have been trying for the last 8 months. Im 53 and she we ill be 45 next month. Have an appointment in 2 weeks fo her. And Friday for me to get sperm checked. My wife and I really want to have a baby. Thanks for your video. Not feeling to confident.
Im 39 and 13 weeks pregnant 4th baby and fourth c-section and with one tube i had one tube removed due to ectopic so yes u can get pregnant at any age without ivf i was natural it just happened thank u god..hope for the best for moms to be and the moms who are trying if god is willing it will happen❤❤❤
I'm 43 and my levels are low when it comes to ovulation, so doctors are telling me to give up while shaming me for not doing it earlier. There are valid reasons why I didn't do it earlier. Right now I don't have a partner, so I have to do sperm donor. I'm a little stressed about it.
Thank you for the informative video and always being so kind. Praying to grow our family at 40 years old ❤ dont give up ladies, God is good all the time 🙏
We had 3 children ages 14 16 & 18 & then we were lucky enough to have 2 more children when I was 40 & then 43. I thought every time I might not be lucky enough to but it happened so don’t give up 🙂
If only I would have researched this topic sooner 😢. About to turn 40, never been pregnant, two failed IVF transfers. Dr Lora, your videos have taught me so much. I cannot thank you enough for all you do for this community in order to educate us about this crucial topic that is human fertility. The doctors one see at appointments don't take the time to explain almost anything, and it is so frustrating. I still have one frozen embryo, and I really hope this will be the one 🙏
Never give up hope my friend adopted 39 her daughter and boom naturally 40 boy 42 boy 43 girl she never been before pregnant too. God have special plan everyone
I'm 45, and I've been trying for a year and nothing. I've never been pregnant and have no miscarriages. I don't want to force it, and I refuse to do IVF. All I want is one baby 👶 but my chances of getting pregnant is 2-3 percent. My tubes are good, but my reserve is low 😢. I'm still a bit hopeful 😅
Read the book It Starts with the Egg, and even though you haven't experienced miscarriage (and I hope you never do!), it goes over some supplements that are helpful for egg health.
In my mother’s county (Jamaica) this was common they had a name for the babies conceived “wash belly babies”. Its was so common they made a name for it due to the success. Check out for parasites they like the reproductive areas and they take up the nutrients needed to heal your body for a baby. They never talk about parasites but they are a big deal. ❤
I so appreciate her real talk and optimism even knowing how hard it is. Since trying for my second, i have had 4 pregnancy losses. I just did my first round of IVF and have one healthy genetically normal embryo. I really hope this works, I talk to my doctor today for FET information.
I am SO grateful for stumbling across this video. I’ve been a single for mom since I was 25 (I’m now 40), now that my son is old enough to take care of himself I finally am taking the time for me. I want to find my soulmate & grow my family. Over the last 1.5 years I’ve lost 92pounds and am healthier than ever. But I have people telling me that I am too old now to start my dream life. I feel like I wasted all my time focusing on being the best mom to my son and not thinking about me. Recently I’ve been getting my periods every 2.5 weeks. I was told this is a sign of premenopausal. I’m so sad because I feel like I’m on a time limit now. This video gave me a bit of hope that it’s still possible to grow my family. Thank you Dr. Lora 🙏❤️
I’m turning 41 next week and been trying to conceive for 4yrs unfortunately not then my OBgyne found out that I have infection in my left fallopian tube so I need operation then just having IVF and our egg is ready to transfer when my operation is done successfully.I keep praying that everything goes well because I need a healthy baby🙏Thank you for sharing this video.God bless
It is possible!!. I started having babies ...my first pregnancy was a surprise at age 48!! And went on to have 2 more !!! All were naturally conceived too!! Also use ur mind to tell ur ovaries to release eggs I can actually feel my ovaries reacting when I start to think about being pregnant!!
ladies, eat figs. they are great for the ovaries. read up on it. I was having irregular periods once, and when I added figs back into my diet, my cycles immediately got on track, smooth and regular.. i ovulate very normal. signs of fertility can be noticed on your vaginal flow, and mucous. wetness is important too.
That's great. I eat well and take good natural remedies and fertile. I have apparently 2 follicles left but I'm ovulating and discharging and secually active still.
You are amazing! Thank you for being such a blessing to all of us! Over the past 3 years, my FSH has gone from high to low and then high again. 11.4 to 10.3 to 6.4 to 11.3 to 14.6 last month. 😢 No one can explain why it is inconsistent, but this week, we were told not to try anymore. I'm gutted and your words were so encouraging and comforting! Thank you!
If you stop actively trying & try your best to pretend that you're both just horny teenagers again, maybe that less stress of "actively trying" SO hard might help? Instead, set up set up romantic date nights, you don't wear any undies but ONLY tell him when he's about to ask for the check after dinner. _Than,_ you'se can fool around in the car right afterwards. Try to keep it together when you're driving though, for safety reasons! OR secretly get a hotel room. Buy yourself a really long wig, that's a color that you'd never dye your actual hair, off Amazon or something. Next pull out a _really_ sexy dress & lingerie set for under it. Next drop him a text at his lunch hour. Tell him something came up & to meet you at ____ hotel room & the number. Pre-pack for this event a picnic lunch sandwiches, fruits & veggies for afterwards with, lots of wine or beer. Be waiting in that room for him with the lights really low, dressed like a stranger, your make up all prefect & ready to get messed up. But oh no... you've got nowhere to go except... to bed! Turn on your favourite music & have _thee most fun_ with "not trying" anymore. You're BOTH worth it. 💕💕
I have been trying for years with my husband, we have a 14 year old and have lost lots of babies. Please pray for us. We are desperate for another child. ❤❤St Gianna Molla and St Gérard Pray for us ❤❤❤❤❤
i am 45 and eek...sooo want to have ANOTHER baby (this would be my 5th) thanks for ALL the tips and tricks!!! ☺️ praying that we get pregnant here VERY soon!!! 🙏
@@DanielleO-oq6mxtake Vitamins+ dhea + omega 3. Eat well , never starve yourself but exercise to eliminate toxins and rejuvenate your body. I hope you will get pregnant soon with a beautiful and healthy baby ❤. Sorority spirit ❤
Dear moms 2 b. Don't ever lose hope to get a healthy baby. I'm Muslim and we have a strong believe in our lord! We don't listen to science. The Quran states several times: Allah(God says Be and it is! he gives to whom he wants and when he wants. we have several pleas to get pregnant and strongly believe in it.
I'm 40 and I stopped breastfeeding 4 months ago. I have been having a lot of trouble getting pregnant recently like the last 4 months when I never had a problem getting pregnant before
I wish you were my Dr. My Dr. told me to not get pregnant. Now I’m trying with my boyfriend. Oh I’m 47 so we did have the talk. He and I want a baby. I have a daughter. He has three teens but we want a baby together.
i got pregnant naturally at 45 but my hcg drops at 6weeks. i've done ivf own egg at 43 with pgt i had spontanous MC. i've done donor egg 1st 2nd transfer failed, 3rd transfer hcg drops and MC again.
This was a great video, and you explained everything very clearly. I wished i had started getting checked sooner after TTC, unfortunately waited a yr to do it and now am closer being 46. Am praying my husband and are able to have a baby🙏
I turned 40 a few months ago and have 3 kids. My husband and I are thinking of having one more, but of course age is my main concern. I was taught that after 25 I was basically "too old" 😒
Thank you so much, Dr. Shahine! I needed this as I start my journey with your clinic on Monday ❤ over 40 and hopeful but realistic about our chances. Thank you for the wonderful content, it arms me well for the upcoming cycle. In pineapples we trust 🍍🍍🍍
I had my youngest at 41 n he's my most brainy n cutest kid. I gave birth to 7 of them on the whole. One died in infancy due to Rubella virus related CHD.
I would say it is possible, especially since the body is going through its last hurrah and hyper ovulations, but Down syndrome and twins is very possible at this age. I also think for some women it isn’t possible because their perimenopause is just so severe that they need to be out on hormones and birth control etc to manage the debilitating symptoms.
I’m 43 and I had a kidney transplant and so does my husband. I have irregular cycles and a history of fibroids and cysts. About two months ago I had a false positive test. I have been told by my doctor that my chances are high risk and very low to conceive. I just want to experience the feeling of being a mother. Any advice?
I am 39 and I have age 11years son.i had my son when I was 27.after I tried for second baby.but still didn't.i am sad.because my son says he doesn't have any brother or sister,please pray for me for a second baby please🙏
😢 i no longer have period after my ovarian surgery, my right ovary out, my womb perfect. One year 8 months now. Lord Jesus help me in your mercy. Children of God pray for me to the Lord our God.
Hi Doctor I am 37 and had a miscarriage on Dec 25th 2023. I was two and half month pregnant at that time and I took a set of pill(breeky) to remove the remnants of the pregnancy under a doctor's guidance. I had irregular spotting till I got my next periods which came on 22nd Jan 2024. The problem is that I am still bleeding after 12 days of periods and 41 days of miscarriage. What shall I do?
Has anybody gotten pregnant at the age of 48 and has not had their cycle for a couple of months could they still get pregnant I want a baby so bad please pray for me
Hi Dr I'm older almost 51, and really want another child ,my husband doesn't have children and i really want to be able to give him that joy, what are the chances? Haven't had my period for about 6months,,, is it too late?
TTC 9m since my miscarriage. Had my reproductive hormones checked and a pelvic examination, they check egg reserve and everythings normal. I get my cycles everymonth, and i ovulate using the stripes. During my fertility window we do the deed alternative days during the 8 days. I am too tired to do it striaght 4 days. I have a 5yo and life is demanding. All in Gods timing i guess. Last time i got preg bc i done it 4 days straight omg it was like a chore. I think this is were the issue maybe.
I'm going to 47 in this October,and trying to get pregnant since 2020 until now. I was in ICSI process around 6 times, got my blast but chromosome test failed.
Just a thought - this video is called "expert tips for success" and the first HALF of the video is driving home the point that it's hard to get pregnant after 40, repeating the same point 5, 6, 7 times. If you want to make a video describing why it's so difficult to get pregnant after 40, maybe make it separate and call it something else? Maybe don't call it "expert tips for success"?
I’m wondering these studies have been done on what population of woman, where ? There’s never a specific group it’s always a “general study.” I would love to hear statistics on all ethnicities.
I just turned 34 and I've been trying to conceive for a year and 3 months now. I've only gotten my period once from this time :/ I hope that my new doctor can help me with my situation.
Make sure you track your ovulation and don’t let a miscarriage discourage you, I got pregnant with my son immediately after a miscarriage, he was born when I was 37. I had sex once with my husband and I’m currently pregnant at 40.. unexpectedly. When we tried for our first at 31 it took me a whole year. Good luck
Dr Shahine, what are your thoughts about trying to conceive naturally right after an IVF cycle? I want to freeze embryos now (I’m33yo) and try to get pregnant naturally right after. Should people wait after an egg retrieval to try to get pregnant naturally? Thanks!
