My husband and I prayed and we trusted God if He did what we asked or not. I'm 47 and 18 weeks pregnant today without any help from a fertility specialist.
Christine Haynes congratulations! Listening to this doctor is such a downer, I respect she's trying to educate us but it would have been nice if she would have mentioned success stories of those who have gotten pregnant naturally over 40. Congratulations! God Bless you and your family. I'm praying that I can get pregnant at 44 yrs old, I'm leaving it up to God ❤
I got pregnant naturally at 40 because I didn't listen to negativity like this. I watched success stories all the time. I got pregnant after a few months of trying. I am now 4 months pregnant.
I'm 39 my best friends mother conceived her naturally at 46. I live in South Africa, I know many women in their 40s that got pregnant naturally. I'm talking poor rural women who would never afford ivf or iui
That's the problem I have with some of these fertility doctors, they speak on statistics and ratings of IVF and donor eggs and how it is almost impossible to conceive on your own in your mid forties, when there are countless stories of women getting pregnant and having healthy babies without any treatment. They focus on that science alone but yet nature defies it. The Creator gives children and the human body is so complex that they haven't figured out everything. My aunt got pregnant at 47, another at 42, 44, and 45. Women in my family go into menopause in their 50s. I dont ascribe to these statements as absolute. Thank God that women are sharing their stories. I am 45 going on 46 and a fertility clinic gave me the same grim news, they were surprised that my blood works are normal except my AMH 1.71, my uterus is healthy, was diagnosed years ago with PCOS. They are discussing egg donor with me, my husband and I refused. I know we'll get pregnant.
Most discouraging talk ever. I am 43 with AMH of 0.07 which is equivalent to zero chance. I then went on vacation, fell in love and it increased to 0.5 over 1.5 month period simply bc of my mental state. To all you ladies, please don’t give up! Your body can do absolute miracles under the right circumstances regardless of your age...baby dust and best wishes to all 💕
I so Agree with you.... This stupid doctor needs to stop talking foolishness!!!! I just hate watching her speak..... Stupid doctor think she so smart and arrived!!!!
@@beanadeveaux8567 She doesnt appear to be staying stupid things or ne stupid. She was most likely trained by the western medical model. Integrated in that thought process fully. Indoctrination. Many doctors, engineers, business people etc are all indoctrinated in this box model, there's a difference. Just dint put weight on what she is saying about this topic. I have MANY women friends family over 40 who had babies 40 pluseasily, no assistance. No medicals. No investor. No surrogacy. Eat healthy,(eliminate processed foods, exercise, have a light heart, love yourself and others).
I am 48 and pregnant with my 6th. I didn't do anything special to get pregnant, it just happened naturally. I do "eat for fertility" meaning, high fiber/fat/protein, healthy fats, watch sugar and carbs. My AMH result was .52, about 6 months before I conceived. If you have healthy endocrine function through healthy eating and exercise and lifestyle, you can improve your own egg health. Also, there is new information that, if you are heatlhy, you continue to make new eggs even later in life. This contrasts with the current thinking that you start life with a finite number of eggs. So my current pregnancy may be from a new, not old, egg. We did all the the full genetic testing panel for this child, and all the tests came back with good results, no problems found! We are so happy. I started my family at 29.
That’s wonderful! I have always believed you can get pregnant and have a child naturally at any age if that’s what’s meant to happen. You can believe everything, people always will try to predict and CONTROL what happens to others. I mean I remember in my 20s they were making us think if we didn’t get pregnant before or in our EARLY 30s, that was IT! Our eggs or rotten by then. Them damn lies.
My hubby and I welcomed our 4th child (a perfectly healthy 8 lb boy) in July, just 2 months after my 45th birthday. Although my pregnancy was a total surprise, genetics likely played a role in our unplanned blessing. Both my grandmothers continued to have babies well into their 40s and so did at least one of my great-grandmothers. Doctors are taught to scare and discourage women over 35 from getting pregnant. The risks are real but overly emphasized. I befriended women on a Facebook support page who conceived naturally at age 48 and went on to have healthy babies! I also grieved with those who experienced losses or medical issues. But with good genes, good health, and the grace of God, healthy babies are born to older moms everyday.
I have got to totally agree with you Cyia, it's a fact that if doctors didn't advise us to seek medical treatment for something that can happen naturally they would be out of a job.. I think it's disgusting and i think we should at the very least have an option but that will never be the case because there is no money in it for them..Congratulations on your new addition and best wishes..
To women everywhere who are over 40 and are looking to have a baby, DON'T be discouraged by this clip . There was a woman named Sarah in the Bible who not only gave birth at the ripe old age of 99, God also blessed her to watch the child grow up before she died ! Man tells you there are limits, but with God, ANYTHING is possible ! Why be downcast, Oh my soul ? Put your hope in God .
I got married and on our honeymoon got knocked up right away at age 43. My now 4 year old is incredible! I am 49 and have had a few minor miscarriages but have been so close. I am working my diet, chinese acupuncture and chinese herbs, added CoQ10, melatonin at night, a 1 bayer chewable aspirin per day which is supposed to help with implantation. We are still hopeful. In meditation I see that I am the goose that lays the gold eggs and I have 2 golden eggs. Might sound weird, but I am keeping the faith a bit longer. In the meantime I am getting testing done to prepare for a potentional IUI or IVF journey. I am not sure how my second child will happen and am good for the course. I send prayers to all women who desire children. Keep your eye on the prize. Keep visualizing your baby and surrender to the "how."
All of these comments are giving me hope. I’m 45, and had 3 miscarriages, because of women like the ones in these comments I will not give up on my rainbow baby🥰
I had bad reserve of eggs due to surgeries. 0.5% chance to get pregnant. And it happened for us anyways. I was so incredibly depressed and incredibly happy after I got pregnant. The infertility Dr. Have is almost no hope. I told my boyfriend to go with someone else. So glad he stayed. :D.
Women from my mother era had babies well into their 40s naturally. It's the medical industries that started performing test, experimenting, and putting things in shots that cause women to start having issues with conceiving.
Empire153 Queen Jade's I had my first one month before I was 39. It was a surprise. I had my second, planned (hoped for) second baby at 42. We were thrilled. We never thought we’d have kids. I did nothing special aside from a prenatal vitamin and iron and vitamin D. I was on those for years because I am always anemic and low on D. Well, the shock came at 45 years old. I was told I was starting menopause. Nope, I was pregnant. I have 3 happy healthy kids, and 3 of the easiest pregnancies.
Dr Majorie doesn’t sound hopeful.. I pray that I won’t come in contact with a Dr that talks like this... I’m sure there are women out here after 40 having healthy and natural pregnancies..
People over 40 don't need to have kids, unless they want the kids to start taking care of one or both parents once they reach adulthood and keep them in the nest a lot longer than they should, robbing them of their own lives as a result.
Give me a break. It's only thanks to people like you that women have babies late in life?! I think it's the opposite. You scare older women into thinking they have to rush into IVF, which is incredibly profitable. My great-grandmother gave birth at 49 without an RE's help.
This doctor has a very negative demeanor. Not very encouraging at all. My grandma was pushing 50 when she had her last of 13 kids. Not that that's a common thing but she had several children between the age of 35 and 45. I've seen this doctor in several video's and it seems that she has a know it all attitude and what she says is gospel. Im 37 ttc month 2 with #4😉.
Not true -carribean and African women can have kids till 55 - my grandmother had my father at 52 most women in my hometown had their first child after 45
There is so much negativity from these doctors and it can be very discouraging.. I am sooo thankful to all the lovely ladies who have commented their positive and encouraging stories. It gives me alot of hope for the future 😊🤗🙏 thank you ladies ❣️
I have good doctor that when I asked her about my chance for IVF she said try naturally, you can do it. My AMH was 0.18 and she didnt even bothered that I was 43. I conceived naturally shy of 44 just like she encouraged me to do. I will never hear doctor that discourage us. Go find another one.
How do you explain the African & Caribbean woman who are having babies number 15-18 at 47-51. I am a child of the 60s. My Mom had me at 42 post Myomectomy from a huge fibroid. Then 2.5 yrs later a son my brother.
Women been having babbies for years in all ages.This mind set is from europeans.This video is not speaking for all women the doctor means some women have issues.
It always makes me wonder which planet and reality these women doctors are from...don't they understand the reality of modern women? They don't postpone their pregnancies due to their so called "careers"! They don't. And whenever they get to finally meet a man for marriage they are discouraged like this. I'd say go for pregnancy whenever the right time comes to you ladies, be smart, but don't let the doctors decide your future.
Couples should have their kids sooner rather than later though. Do you want your kids to take care of you and or your spouse sooner than expected and say goodbye to one or both of y'all sooner than expected?
Idk but I exercise, eat healthy, and drink plenty of water, decrease stress level. I'm 39 and trying for my first. My hair stylist told me she listened to all the naysayers and got pregnant within a month...no problemo. Seriously though most will start peri or full on menopause by age 46. Especially women of African American descent.
It's like that, no matter if you’re 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.
Gurl BYE WITH THE NEGATIVITY. THese doctors regurgitate negative talking points. Basically you can get pregnant in your 40's ! There's ALWAYS A damn risk with everything in life.
Makes sense, no matter if you’re 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised.

Why do they make these videos?!! So discouraging. Like if we don’t know. These doctors like to play God and talk all sorts of negativity yet women over 35 are the perfect candidates for them. I’m 38 and I’m TTC and will do it naturally in Jesus name. Keep all this crap to your self and to anyone in this journey don’t listen to this crap. It’s the devil getting in our heads. The God of the impossible is with us
I love how people came on here and made positive comments about pregnancy over 40 on this negative BS video. All of the comments give me hope and inspiration. Unlike the video.
It’s so sad to hear this. It seems that some assumption that most women in their 40s will have hypertension and diabetes. I mean there are healthy and fit 40 year olds. Yes yes… I get it out eggs are older. No need to rub it in. We get it. But I think 40 year olds can sometimes be far healthier than many 20 year olds!
All these comments talking about how they had children in their late 40's and how this woman is being a downer, no. Listen, she is being a realist and giving you women facts of life, aka reality. Reality is your peak fertility is your early teens to around mid 20's. Now no one, not even this woman, will tell you that from about 14-15 to 24-25 is the OPTIMAL time for females to not only get pregnant, but also to give birth. It's great that some of you have had a child in your forties, but that isn't the point. The point is you're doing this at past declining age vs the late teen early twenty year old whose body is on average SEVERAL TIMES HEALTHIER THAN YOURS! This is a biological reality, one DESIGNED BY GOD for all those who believe. Not to mention another important fact. Take whatever age you are and add ten years. Now unless your in your teens or younger, you've slowed down significantly in comparison to your current age. That means you non teenagers are at least 30+ going up. What does this mean? That is 0-10 years in your child's life. Those are, in healthy children, what I like to call the years of mobility. This is when your child is going to be most mobile while being close to you often. This is the time where you'll need your stamina to play and keep up with your child moving about and wanting to go to and fro. For a 40+ woman she'll be 50 or pushing it and most of you know the average 50 year old does NOT have the stamina energy or patience to keep up with a child whose full of energy.
I think negativity and being too quick to listen to rubbish has blinded you. Women in their 40s are conceiving regularly and always have been. In fact, statistically, children born to older parents have more stability and financial access than those who were not. Personally, I know 5 women that started families between 41 and 49. This isn't uncommon. Why all the hostility about something we all know is a norm and happens everyday? LOL Weird.
@@CelestineSelene I see stupidity blinds you. I was going to say ignorance, but that would mean that you just don't know. No, you know. You made a choice and that moves you from ignorance to stupidity. There is no historical, statistical, mathematical, cultural nor scientific precedent of women giving birth in later years of life as the norm. By the way for it to be the norm there would have to be some 51% or more of the children born in the country this woman is speaking from, being from women 40+ years old. Unfortunately, seeing as she is speaking from America, though we can extrapolate or research other countries as well, majority of the children born fall under the umbrella bastard. As in they are born to unwed, single mother households which consist of women ages teens to late thirties. I, and even the woman in this video, never said it was impossible. We all know it is possible. What we both said was it is unlikely from her and that it is not ideal from me. As a matter of fact historically, the average human lifespan was so low *because* when you totalled up infant mortality with the fact that most women DIED during childbirth it pulled the human lifespan numbers down. It is only due to modern medicine that infant mortality has dropped drastically. It is *that same modern medicine* as evidenced by the fertility doctor like this woman, that women are even able to sit in larger numbers talking about starting to have children in their forties.
@@brendabenitez7359 What are you referring to with "reserve egg quality"? It's well known that egg quality diminishes with age, quite rapidly after 35.
" A Sobering conversation"? Like bihh you sound drunk smh, who would even pay this lady?? Clearly she has an Opinion so why Marjorie is this your profession? What about people in 40's having kids because that's how God intended their life to go..
There is too much scary info here, stroke, etc. It's true cos it's medical reasons But sometimes God can just bless some people. My niece didn't knew she was pregnant, she only find out while 8months preg. No one believed her as she if full figured naturally. She never had any gyna visits or anything. Through God grace she gave birth to her healthy beautiful baby boy. She wasn't even ready to be a mom but boom! She is the happiest mom ever today and grateful.
If you and your spouse are 40+, y'all need to adopt if circumstances allow it. I've been forced to help my mom since graduating high school and caregiving is all I've known since graduating college. Plus, I lost my dad last year. My life is in the gutter and my mom refuses to get better, let alone dump all the responsibilities on someone else. Please don't wait until 40 to have your kids. You will ruin your child's life before it even starts.
Ivf is a really good procedure. But it takes time to eventually work. Even the medication and injections need to be timed very well. Doctors and patients coordination is also very important. I have had my procedure from Biotexcom clinic in Ukraine. They have been very humble to me. They had the best labs, All diagnosis and treatment equipment was available in one place.
Nothing more devastating than to have someone sugar coat the reality. Gives you a false hope and when it doesn't happen it destroys you. If I was told the reality of it I wouldn't have wasted 10 yrs. and would have taken matters into my own hands years ago. Now It's highly likely to late for me. Nothing wrong with being positive just don't be stupid.
I am 45 just found out that we can't have children as IVF did not work 2nd time. It's a roller-coaster as parents you have no idea what is happening except that you’re consumed with the love for a child you really want and need. I think every woman should experience the love of being a Mom. It is more guaranteed than a loving marriage. I think a lot of people with any type of fertility issue, whether it be age, failed pregnancy or whatever. Would choose this option if they had the money. It is a great option, but incredibly expensive. Estimates around 100,000 per child. I have heard that in Europe there is a clinic with lower prices for same service. Ukraine I guess. This is considering being one of the best among similar facilities. But, firstly personally I have no time to travel so far because of work. Secondarily, it is the third world country where I don’t want to experience negative result again. I do not want to sound prejudiced but even if they have reproductive medicine on the highest level. The situation in the country is a bit alarming. Anyways, congratulations to her and many happy years to them.
We were 37 when we first started trying for children. I knew that I was considered “advanced age” when it came to conception. We tried casually for a few months, then I decided to see a doctor at Bio tex for her input when we didn’t get pregnant during that time. She gave me some tips on having intercourse every other day starting on day 10 of my cycle. She also wanted to have me get an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) in order to see if my tubes were blocked. Yet, there was no reason for me to think they were at this point, and I didn’t like the thought of having blue dye shot into my body. I also read about the cramping and other possible symptoms from this test. I decided to try to learn as much as possible about my cycle on my own and figure out how to make my body as healthy and fertile as possible by natural means first. Maca is also considered a super food. It not only improves fertility, but it is also great for boosting libido, which can be greatly hindered by monthly scheduled baby-making sessions. It is thought to improve egg quality and I believe it did just that for me. We women are thought to have the total amount of eggs we will have in our lives when we’re born, and it is also thought that the quality of our eggs diminishes the older we get. Thus, the reasoning behind lower fertility as we get older.
Age is an important factor in fertility. It has a deep impact on the reproductory system. Mostl the people face the challenge after 35. Fertility faces major challenge after the age of 40. It is near to impossibilities due to low sperm count. low quality reggs and much more. It is important to consult a doctor if you are thinking to conceive after 40. It is reall an excellent video to watch.

Work and work stress can be such a life-sucker! Congratulations on your beautiful baby!! ❤️
this doctor only came to disappoint us.Thats what not medical about.
Don't worry hope. Pay these naysayers no mind. :)
Only telling the truth.
I wouldn't want her to be anyone doctor who really wants a baby smh my grandma gave birth naturally no medical help at 40,41,and 12th child at 44 !!
Older women having kids is not gross its seems gross because these days only babies are having babies
Give me a break. It's only thanks to people like you that women have babies late in life?! I think it's the opposite. You scare older women into thinking they have to rush into IVF, which is incredibly profitable. My great-grandmother gave birth at 49 without an RE's help.
This doctor has a very negative demeanor. Not very encouraging at all. My grandma was pushing 50 when she had her last of 13 kids. Not that that's a common thing but she had several children between the age of 35 and 45. I've seen this doctor in several video's and it seems that she has a know it all attitude and what she says is gospel. Im 37 ttc month 2 with #4😉.
Not true -carribean and African women can have kids till 55 - my grandmother had my father at 52 most women in my hometown had their first child after 45
Wow!! Where is your hometown? What is the typically diet, there?
Wow! ❤️ Thx for commenting here.
There is so much negativity from these doctors and it can be very discouraging.. I am sooo thankful to all the lovely ladies who have commented their positive and encouraging stories. It gives me alot of hope for the future 😊🤗🙏 thank you ladies ❣️
omg she is Lying lying i know lots of people have baby at 43
Thx for sharing with us!! 🥰
I have good doctor that when I asked her about my chance for IVF she said try naturally, you can do it. My AMH was 0.18 and she didnt even bothered that I was 43. I conceived naturally shy of 44 just like she encouraged me to do. I will never hear doctor that discourage us. Go find another one.
Amen to that! That’s exactly what I’m doing
She's negative. I know women who got pregnant naturally at 44 45 not even with ivf...
How do you explain the African & Caribbean woman who are having babies number 15-18 at 47-51. I am a child of the 60s. My Mom had me at 42 post Myomectomy from a huge fibroid. Then 2.5 yrs later a son my brother.
Egg quality can be fine at 40 we actually continue to make eggs as we live....they found stem cells within womens eggs proving this
Women been having babbies for years in all ages.This mind set is from europeans.This video is not speaking for all women the doctor means some women have issues.
The other doctors are not so negative like this one...
This doctor has an arrogant negative vibe.
That’s what we were created for y’all are not God I’m 29 and had complications age does not define anything
It always makes me wonder which planet and reality these women doctors are from...don't they understand the reality of modern women? They don't postpone their pregnancies due to their so called "careers"! They don't. And whenever they get to finally meet a man for marriage they are discouraged like this. I'd say go for pregnancy whenever the right time comes to you ladies, be smart, but don't let the doctors decide your future.
Couples should have their kids sooner rather than later though.
Do you want your kids to take care of you and or your spouse sooner than expected and say goodbye to one or both of y'all sooner than expected?
Idk but I exercise, eat healthy, and drink plenty of water, decrease stress level. I'm 39 and trying for my first. My hair stylist told me she listened to all the naysayers and got pregnant within a month...no problemo. Seriously though most will start peri or full on menopause by age 46. Especially women of African American descent.
Perimenopause and Menopause doesn't eliminate your chances of pregnancy. Women get pregnant during that stage all the time.
thaks God i dodnt hear her, i just read the comments before hearing her🙂
How discouraging for us who are trying to have a baby naturally. God knows my heart.
Don’t listen to this crap. It’s the enemy spitting fear into all of us
It's like that, no matter if you’re 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks. After go’ogling her I understood it's not a miracle kind of thing like the title suggests, but you can bet you'll boost your chances.
I'm single and over 40 so I guess a baby is not meant to be for me.
Don’t give up on your dream! ❤️
Gurl BYE WITH THE NEGATIVITY. THese doctors regurgitate negative talking points. Basically you can get pregnant in your 40's ! There's ALWAYS A damn risk with everything in life.
Makes sense, no matter if you’re 40 or whatever, after reading Dobbie Nerkstrol's guide, I ended up pleasantly surprised. Within 60 days anyone can get pregnant, feeling the changes in your body the first few weeks.

Why do they make these videos?!! So discouraging. Like if we don’t know. These doctors like to play God and talk all sorts of negativity yet women over 35 are the perfect candidates for them. I’m 38 and I’m TTC and will do it naturally in Jesus name. Keep all this crap to your self and to anyone in this journey don’t listen to this crap. It’s the devil getting in our heads. The God of the impossible is with us
I love how people came on here and made positive comments about pregnancy over 40 on this negative BS video. All of the comments give me hope and inspiration. Unlike the video.
It’s so sad to hear this. It seems that some assumption that most women in their 40s will have hypertension and diabetes. I mean there are healthy and fit 40 year olds. Yes yes… I get it out eggs are older. No need to rub it in. We get it. But I think 40 year olds can sometimes be far healthier than many 20 year olds!
All these comments talking about how they had children in their late 40's and how this woman is being a downer, no. Listen, she is being a realist and giving you women facts of life, aka reality. Reality is your peak fertility is your early teens to around mid 20's. Now no one, not even this woman, will tell you that from about 14-15 to 24-25 is the OPTIMAL time for females to not only get pregnant, but also to give birth. It's great that some of you have had a child in your forties, but that isn't the point. The point is you're doing this at past declining age vs the late teen early twenty year old whose body is on average SEVERAL TIMES HEALTHIER THAN YOURS! This is a biological reality, one DESIGNED BY GOD for all those who believe. Not to mention another important fact. Take whatever age you are and add ten years. Now unless your in your teens or younger, you've slowed down significantly in comparison to your current age. That means you non teenagers are at least 30+ going up. What does this mean? That is 0-10 years in your child's life. Those are, in healthy children, what I like to call the years of mobility. This is when your child is going to be most mobile while being close to you often. This is the time where you'll need your stamina to play and keep up with your child moving about and wanting to go to and fro. For a 40+ woman she'll be 50 or pushing it and most of you know the average 50 year old does NOT have the stamina energy or patience to keep up with a child whose full of energy.
Who wants their daughters have babies at school?
I think negativity and being too quick to listen to rubbish has blinded you. Women in their 40s are conceiving regularly and always have been. In fact, statistically, children born to older parents have more stability and financial access than those who were not. Personally, I know 5 women that started families between 41 and 49. This isn't uncommon. Why all the hostility about something we all know is a norm and happens everyday? LOL Weird.
@@CelestineSelene I see stupidity blinds you. I was going to say ignorance, but that would mean that you just don't know. No, you know. You made a choice and that moves you from ignorance to stupidity. There is no historical, statistical, mathematical, cultural nor scientific precedent of women giving birth in later years of life as the norm. By the way for it to be the norm there would have to be some 51% or more of the children born in the country this woman is speaking from, being from women 40+ years old. Unfortunately, seeing as she is speaking from America, though we can extrapolate or research other countries as well, majority of the children born fall under the umbrella bastard. As in they are born to unwed, single mother households which consist of women ages teens to late thirties.
I, and even the woman in this video, never said it was impossible. We all know it is possible. What we both said was it is unlikely from her and that it is not ideal from me.
As a matter of fact historically, the average human lifespan was so low *because* when you totalled up infant mortality with the fact that most women DIED during childbirth it pulled the human lifespan numbers down. It is only due to modern medicine that infant mortality has dropped drastically. It is *that same modern medicine* as evidenced by the fertility doctor like this woman, that women are even able to sit in larger numbers talking about starting to have children in their forties.
@@klove5974 I'm not reading all that bs sir.
@@CelestineSelene Funny how I'm automatically a sir cause me and science show you to be willfully ignorant 🤣
Am 40 and finds it difficult to get pregnant. I had my second baby at 37. The doctor says i have PCOS
Glory to god !
I’m here for the comment section ♥️
Negative doctor! It is a challenge but still possible.
The daycare in the background.
There's only one expert in this field, MILLIE BEHERA. She's not just an expert, she's an ANGEL.
There are always exceptions but by 40, about 35% of eggs are genetically abnormal and this is a big risk.
You can reserve egg quality. That’s old news . Read new research please.
@@brendabenitez7359 What are you referring to with "reserve egg quality"? It's well known that egg quality diminishes with age, quite rapidly after 35.
Thx for being so real
" A Sobering conversation"? Like bihh you sound drunk smh, who would even pay this lady?? Clearly she has an Opinion so why Marjorie is this your profession? What about people in 40's having kids because that's how God intended their life to go..
There is too much scary info here, stroke, etc. It's true cos it's medical reasons But sometimes God can just bless some people. My niece didn't knew she was pregnant, she only find out while 8months preg. No one believed her as she if full figured naturally. She never had any gyna visits or anything. Through God grace she gave birth to her healthy beautiful baby boy. She wasn't even ready to be a mom but boom! She is the happiest mom ever today and grateful.
If you and your spouse are 40+, y'all need to adopt if circumstances allow it.
I've been forced to help my mom since graduating high school and caregiving is all I've known since graduating college. Plus, I lost my dad last year. My life is in the gutter and my mom refuses to get better, let alone dump all the responsibilities on someone else.
Please don't wait until 40 to have your kids. You will ruin your child's life before it even starts.
Why do she keep leaning back do Dr Dixon breath stink
This will jst .make women feel like they can't do it. Smh
Ivf is a really good procedure. But it takes time to eventually work. Even the medication and injections need to be timed very well. Doctors and patients coordination is also very important. I have had my procedure from Biotexcom clinic in Ukraine. They have been very humble to me. They had the best labs, All diagnosis and treatment equipment was available in one place.
Please how much did IT cost you,in Ucrania ?Test ,Hormone Stimulation and ivf (IT your own eggs)?
Nothing more devastating than to have someone sugar coat the reality. Gives you a false hope and when it doesn't happen it destroys you. If I was told the reality of it I wouldn't have wasted 10 yrs. and would have taken matters into my own hands years ago. Now It's highly likely to late for me. Nothing wrong with being positive just don't be stupid.
@@CharlotteFairchild true
No, not true. You can't always take matters in your own hands, no matter how you try.
She actually a doctor? lol😕
I am 45 just found out that we can't have children as IVF did not work 2nd time. It's a roller-coaster as parents you have no idea what is happening except that you’re consumed with the love for a child you really want and need. I think every woman should experience the love of being a Mom. It is more guaranteed than a loving marriage. I think a lot of people with any type of fertility issue, whether it be age, failed pregnancy or whatever. Would choose this option if they had the money. It is a great option, but incredibly expensive. Estimates around 100,000 per child. I have heard that in Europe there is a clinic with lower prices for same service. Ukraine I guess. This is considering being one of the best among similar facilities. But, firstly personally I have no time to travel so far because of work. Secondarily, it is the third world country where I don’t want to experience negative result again. I do not want to sound prejudiced but even if they have reproductive medicine on the highest level. The situation in the country is a bit alarming. Anyways, congratulations to her and many happy years to them.
Good luck
Wow she’s so good! She explains everything so well.
She’s a ball of negativity. Don’t listen to this crap
Very informative, Thank you beautiful intelligent black women.
Very negative you mean
We were 37 when we first started trying for children. I knew that I was considered “advanced age” when it came to conception. We tried casually for a few months, then I decided to see a doctor at Bio tex for her input when we didn’t get pregnant during that time. She gave me some tips on having intercourse every other day starting on day 10 of my cycle. She also wanted to have me get an HSG (hysterosalpingogram) in order to see if my tubes were blocked. Yet, there was no reason for me to think they were at this point, and I didn’t like the thought of having blue dye shot into my body. I also read about the cramping and other possible symptoms from this test. I decided to try to learn as much as possible about my cycle on my own and figure out how to make my body as healthy and fertile as possible by natural means first. Maca is also considered a super food. It not only improves fertility, but it is also great for boosting libido, which can be greatly hindered by monthly scheduled baby-making sessions. It is thought to improve egg quality and I believe it did just that for me. We women are thought to have the total amount of eggs we will have in our lives when we’re born, and it is also thought that the quality of our eggs diminishes the older we get. Thus, the reasoning behind lower fertility as we get older.
Age is an important factor in fertility. It has a deep impact on the reproductory system. Mostl the people face the challenge after 35. Fertility faces major challenge after the age of 40. It is near to impossibilities due to low sperm count. low quality reggs and much more. It is important to consult a doctor if you are thinking to conceive after 40. It is reall an excellent video to watch.
That is not true for some people.
@@BRKS627 exactly! Some have babies perfectly fine in their 40s and many in their 20s have struggled too. This is just discouraging and inaccurate. Full of negativity
crazy video....wheww
poppyseed she is so negative . while there is life there is hope
This was helpful. ✨
It's painful to watch some of my friends wait until their late 30s/40s to try to get pregnant-then struggle with infertility.
Some don’t struggle and get their babies gone. Some young women struggle too so this video is full of shot and is inaccurate
