Hi, i am 35 and have been through a very hard and emotional time over the last year, thankfully it has now come to an end and myself and my new and very loving partner have decided that we would love a child, i have two teenage daughters one who is 15 and the other who is 18 this year, my fear is that i keep being told and keep reading how difficult it is to get pregnant after 35 and i suppose i just want some reassurance, i have very heavy periods and hope that this is not an issue, i am thinking of going for a checkup with my doctor but feel a bit silly as realistically we have only been trying for 2 months, any advice would be great

hi,my name is lisa and im 27 and i feel for you so much,but i have some advise that i hope helps,my eldest sister has 8 children and my other two siblings have two children each,i have been with my husband for 11 yrs and we are planning to try for our own family very next year as weve just moved and are renervating our home.together in total we are aunty and uncle to 18 nephew and necies which is lovely,and i find thinking of being a mom as so much hard work,but a beaughtiful experience also so to learn around 5 yrs ago i have polycystic oveys and chances of becoming pregnant could be difficult or impossiable was deverstating,and to find an operation can SOMETIMES help scared the ? out of me,and has left me with a difficult disision,but eventually i said to my self,husband family and friends if its ment to be ,its ment to be,and if being a hands on aunty is as close as to being a mom is then thats it,its hard to think we might not have our own baby but i try to think and say to myself at least we have love,trust,honesty,strength,friendship{etc}in our marrage,but i will always hope we can conceave naturally,as my two sisters{the ones with the two children}both tried and tried my one sister had 4 miscarages but eventually after 5yrs had a healthy boy and then a girl,and the other sister had her first daughter no problem then 5yrs on tried desperatly,after3yrs trying and a misscarage they disided to give up and be blessed at the one child they had,they booked a holiday and relaxed,came home,and the following month no period,they had fell pregnant at ther most relaxed,and 9mths later were blessed with another daughter,between my three sisters they have 12 children.please dont give up just try and take a more relaxed attitude,this ive seen with my own eyes can make a difference.and lastly please see your doctor,i now its scarey but your partner will be with you,it could be something simple like fertility tablets to help you ovulate more,it might not even be your fertility,there are options to help you,dont give up and sit around waiting for what you want,make it happen,knock evey wall down that stands in your way.if there is a problem,find your options and answers.i wish you well and hope you get closer to what you want and wish for,best wishes,take care,lisa xxx
