I'm 43 and still wish to have my own child. I have been trying since the day after I turned 36 (and one day after I married for the first time). At the same time I was desperate to quit my horrible job that severely affected my health (adrenals and thyroid) and probably my fertility. I finally got a BFP 2.5 yrs later but sadly had a miscarriage at 8 wks due to Trisomy 15. No luck since.
If I had any inkling of these health problems years ago, maybe I would have chosen a different path and thought about marriage and children at a much younger age. I had fertility tests run again 2 yrs ago and the results were great - FSH really low, everything else GREAT...RE said everything was staying very young. Too bad it just won't work for me. Not everyone puts off having babies til their 40s. I would give anything to have my own children and I cry all the time.
