I had my (first and only) baby at 41. She just turned one. It might not be too late for you, who ever needs to hear it. I know I looked for success stories everywhere when I was ttc. 💕
@@SJ-ru4ej Did you not watch the video? It’s based on facts. Why do women become so emotional. I’m 31 and pregnant but, I know that in general women younger than me for example, age 25 have much higher fertility, it’s just a fact.
I'm 45 yr old and I have a beautiful and healthy 15 month old baby boy! We got pregnant on the first try after deciding to do it. I was shocked with how easy it was. I've eaten healthy and exercised most of my life. I have met dozens of woman who have had babies in their 40's...There is hope for any woman who is over 40 and still wants to be a mother!❤
I’m 41 and got pregnant for the first time last year, but miscarried at 8 weeks in October right before my birthday. Just found out that I have endometrial hyperplasia and after trying and quitting progesterone d/t terrible side effects, my OB wants to do a D and C. I’m trying to overcome this with mostly plant based healthy diet and exercise. My AMH is 1.36. Please pray for me to overcome this and get pregnant soon. ❤ 🙏 thank you for the video, Dr. Crawford and for taking the time to educate us all. Your sweet soul is a blessing to us all!
Dr. Crawford 🎉I’ve been watching almost all your videos. The one you told your story moved me to tears. Almost 41. Just started IVF journey. AMH dropped 40% in 1 year, from 5.5 to 3.1. 13 eggs retrieved, 12 mature, 10 fertilized, 4 blastocysts. Waiting for PGT-A. Planning to do a consecutive retrieval. I’m in the group of never tried, never pregnant. Seriously concerned that we won’t be able to have any 😅
I got pregnant at 40 in 2021. Fave birth in March, 2022 at 41. I watched your videos a lot before conceiving and always hoped I would eventually get pregnant naturally. I knew the stats weren’t in my favor, but it happened. We’d been semi actively trying for two years and at my dating ultrasound, we found out that the cycle I had during conception, was shorter than the cycles I thought I was having. My cycle was actually around 25 days that month and I thought I was having 28 day cycles because my periods were like clockwork. I had to be followed more closely and had more ultrasounds but my pregnancy was actually really good and I felt great. I was teaching yoga prior to conception and my OBGYN actually was very happy about that.
Thank you for saying this!!!!! Yes, yes, yes! I WISH a doctor had advised I free my eggs in my mid-30s! They all told me I was fine and ran zero tests. I tried to get pregnant from 40-41. I was diagnosed at 41 with PCOS and now at 42 with a very large fibroid that needs surgical intervention. Again, I WISH I had been advised to freeze my eggs. I have several friends going through similar issues, who have been trying for years. Thank you for educating this next set of women!
I had my first pregnancy at 40 age, i have been trying for 2 years, but after some blood analisis, it was missing 600 mg of progesterone per day after my positive ovulation test every month, until the periode day. It only took me 2 months and bingo, i have drink a lot of water, good food and avoid sugar, cigarrets and cafeine. It will happen for all. My BFF was progesterone and ovulation tests. I am in the 5 month at the moment..never give up, it will happen for you.
@@yanasosnovskaya864 nop...i'm not 20, i'm 40, and that progesterone was prescribed by a FIV especialist, cause, it would be the next step if the hormone itself dident worked for me.
Nooo, i am not 20 but 40, progesterone hormone was prescribed by my OBGYN before I start any IVF to conceive, after a battery of exames, IT WAS HORMONAL, period. You have that kind of pre conceived ideas, thats why you dont get right. Try to listen who can help you if you, and pay to a fertility specialist. One thing: others previous OBGYN i had told me the same that you did, that my hormones where ok, and so on...i had to change specialist about 4 times, until one in 5 get the diagnosis right. Its sad.
I’m 39 and my husband just turned 45. Hoping we can have a family. 🙏🏻this gives me a little hope. But he has to get a vasectomy reversal first. And that’s concerning as well.
Thank you Dr.Natalie Crawford for posting & sharing some of your knowledge ❤. I've downloaded your videos to watch them many times & even take notes 📝.God bless you and your family . I send you hundreds of likes from Algeria 🇩🇿.
41 and trying for my first baby. Recently found out I have low duration progesterone, so this is my first cycle trying with the aid of progesterone support. Hoping it’s the missing piece in the puzzle that leads to my longed for BFP! 🙏🏼
In 1953 my mother was 40 and dad 45. I am now 71 and I have had a good run. Because my father was also a late in life child. I am closer to history than most. My Great Grand Father was born July 04, 1837 and passed from this live December 18, 1880, 54 YOA. My Grandfather was born in 1873 and my Dad 1908, Mother January 01, 1913.
I came off the pill at 39 after being on it for almost 15 years. I fell pregnant on month 2 and then had a bleed after a few days of finding out. I left it a month and on month 4 I got pregnant with my beautiful ID twin boys! I never thought it would happen however I had a daughter at 25 years old and knew it was possible. I was 40 when I had them full term with no issues. It was a hard pregnancy and I went into perimenopause at 42. I was very symptomatic. I didn’t plan for that. It was less tiring when I was younger but I only had one baby. My boys are 6 now and I am on HRT. If I could have I would have had them younger. My boys always worry about me dying…ahhhh. I do feel sad about that if I am completely honest.
Im 42. I have an amh of 7.5 and 5 foliicles. Me and my partner have had one round of unsuccessful ivf so far. I got 12 eggs, 9 embryos, 6 blastocyst. Only able to transfer 4 in the end, all failed and i guess that's because we didn't test them so they were probably all abnormal ( i was 40 when i had a collection). We want to try again but the cost is too much- 22k in the UK for 3 rounds of mild IVF which is suggested for someone of advanced maternal age. Some people don't meet their partners until later in life, we also had covid which held everything up and time wasn't on our side. I imagine it is the same for so many women. It is so sad that we have a ticking clock. But that's life. It's nice to hear stories of natural pregnancies, it gives us hope when we have little else to hold on to.. coming to terms with being childless is a lot. Something i don't want to face.
I’m 44 and possibly pregnant atm, though I have never been pregnant before, I am pretty healthy, never smoked, drank alcohol or do any drugs, other than the occasional antibiotics for sinus infections/uti and midol for pms so I assume my fertility rate would be high due to having an overall healthy lifestyle and nutrition, in addition to that, I also started my cycle later in life at the age of 15, so I figured since I started menstruation later, I’d experience menopause later as well, thus why I came to the conclusion that my fertility rate is still pretty good at 44. I’m not actively trying to get pregnant, but would be pretty excited if I am 😊
Thank you for this great video, Dr. Crawford! What are your thoughts on the MTHFR mutation contributing to miscarriage? I've heard taking a baby aspirin can help-thoughts? Thanks!
Hey Natalie your so amazing. Sorry nate to ask because am out of the topic, nate am 25 years old and ever since i had my menstruation at 16, my cylcle has been 40 to 50 day. I know i have got a problem and i want to check but whats scares me is this month i have experience unsual PMS that have lasten for about for weeks now. I had sex around last month and had a levonorgestrel pill and its my first time using any contraception pill. I usually have my PMS 5-10 before my period but this time i started having them almost 4 weeks ago. Nate can u tell me whats going on with me. Could the problem have become bigger?Please answer me natte am scared
Thank you so much for this video. My husband is 56 and I'm 43 and we've been trying to get pregnant for 4 months according to my ovulation calculator but haven't been successful just yet but I am remaining hopeful. Please tell me what are my chances of falling pregnant because my periods are regular and we only get to make love 1ce a week depending on his work schedule. Thank you and I hope to hear from you x
My husband is 55 and I’m 41, been married for 20 years. We have two kids, 11 and 9 years old but always think about having another one. Prayers for you and husband to have a baby soon! 🙏🏼
So, does this mean having a baby earlier in life increase your fertility? These studies are a bit confusing to me. Not sure how to interpret, as someone who is 39 and never tried to get pregnant before. Could I have gotten pregnant when I was younger - who knows? I was actively trying to prevent pregnancy
Like me, I would like this I have my first baby 34 and my baby was healthy and everything. He just had kidney issues and only had one child about about my son‘s father but I was not planning to have no friends about him. It just happened but I do wanna have another baby. I’m 39 years old. I’m in another relationship And I really like this relationship more. I wanna say I was with my sons father he just happened in the timeframe and you know I just wanted to have kids for 40 that was my goal and if I had another child ideas, go by cool but you know it’s up to God if you want it if you able to have another child no doctors or anybody can say you can have kids it’s up to God whatever but I do listen to doctors on certain things what they say because sometimes they be saying stuff right you might wanna hear it but it’s true but you know I love kids you know I already have my own that somebody care my child for me because you know they have a choice to give it to you or not, and I don’t wanna be fighting over some like that I said, cause I would have my own but yeah
That comment was so ignorant and smug, thank you for correcting them. So I guess to her because I had a stillbirth and a miscarriage I’m not “meant” to have a child then. 🙄
And natte just to add my PMS are , i feel cramps like pulling inside my reproduction system and sometimes i get lower back pain and also my nipples have becomes sour and like i said these symptoms are about 4 weeks now natt and this is the first time to experience it . Please nate can you tell me what’s going with me??

Congratulations but, it’s not ideal to become pregnant at 41.
That’s your opinion. It may be ideal for some but not others.

3.1 is quite good for 41! I have 3.8 being 38. I have friend she has less than 1 at 38 y. o. So depends on genetics.

Hi ❤ how likely it is for an IVF (day 5 embryo transfer) procedure to be successful if you have been pregnant in the past? 🙏🏻
