I am so sorry for your loss. Hugs to you

I totally agree that you are not too old!! You are only as old as you feel - and it sounds like you feel like you are 30! And it actually makes me really mad that your Dr keeps telling you that you are old! Doesn't he understand that this whole process is a mind game - tell him to stop it already!

I have a few friends at work who have been very supportive to me. Both of them conceived through IVF at the age of 43. One of them had unexplained infertility and the other had PCOS. my friend who has unexplained infertility - it took her 12 times to get preggo. Can you imagine! But, she fought for it. She was going to give up after the 12th - but then it happened. I also know many people who have had multiple m/c's and gone on to have healthy children.

I guess what I'm trying to say is - don't give up if you don't want to. Don't let anyone else make you think that you should give up. It's up to you. maybe start looking into adoption to get the ball rolling - this way - if you decide you want to go that route - you are ready. i know people who are still TTC - but have gotten approved for adoption so that they are ready when the time comes - if it comes.

Good luck!
