If u are healthy , everything is in order according to ur Doctor .. Age (38) should not be a factor, just did confinement for a 43 yo - lady ( 1st child) baby healthy .. All is well . Gd luck !!Jiajia77
In Penang? Too far
hug, Jia you..is your 1st pregnancy?I am also turing 38 this year...had been ttc for countless years... Still no news no nothing....except period reporting on time every month... Getting tired and losting hope soon.
Had a friend who became 1st time mum at 40, one at 42, another one for a 2nd time at 40, it gives me hope.. I am turning 37 and due to a combination of issues (1 of it being an apathetic hubby) we didn't start until recently.
If you want to have a child, please see a specialist early. At least the specialist can help to rule out some health factors. I am doing iui now, 2nd cycle. Diagnosed with pcos, have thyroid issues, didn't respond to clomid or femara (at stronger drug), no choice but to go iui... Just to note, Singapore doesn't allow women over 40 to do ivf unless they are on special permit.
So you might really want to think about this. Just do it if you really want a child. All it means is cutting down on our current lifestyle, struggle a little more physically on bringing up the child... Good luck!
You should seek help from fertility dr. Do Iui or ivf. The procedure is not scary. The longer u drag the worse your success rateI am also turing 38 this year...had been ttc for countless years...

Haha ok. Maybe my motherly doctor was seriously trying to scare me into really thinking about about trying then, that's why she mention about the special permit.
Ya, have to agree the success rates drop with age... IUI, it is not super high to start with, apparently 24% or so on 1st try and 30+% 2nd time on (actually same as young couple ttc-ing). But I guess what it does is to at least help couples achieve a close to natural conception rate. So... Using my gynae' swords... Don't wait!

Serious!?!? Hmmm ... based on what grounds?... Just to note, Singapore doesn't allow women over 40 to do ivf unless they are on special permit.
My bad, it's 45 and above. Based on MOH regulations, women 45 and above are not allowed to go into the AR program. Probably a combination of factors like higher risks of genetic defects, bringing up of child, etc, but I am not entirely sure why - didn't study law...Serious!?!? Hmmm ... based on what grounds?
