Pregnancy Info HOME

hey faith - congratulations! pretty crazy how you can post a thread to try and encourage people and you get c___pped all over huh? ;) don't worry about it tho! enjoy your (stress-free) pregnancy and your baby!

I think that your original post was encouraging and you were giving YOUR story on how you got pregnant. Congrats on your pregnancy!! BTW, I am 27 and ttc my second child! The first child was totally unplanned, so after having an IUD for the past seven years, it's SO weird having unprotected s_x!! LOL!

To faith You are Mother Theresa reincarnated. but 27 is no big deal dear

I was 30 (31 and 7 mos. pregnant now)and we tried to conceive for a year. I am only 3 years older than Faith. I just wanted to point out to 'huh' and some others that, no matter what your age, when you want a baby so badly and you can't seem to have one, it tears you up inside.

k, I agree with you. Ttc is a very emotional issue. I think that the odds definatly are not in your favor as you age however there are other variables the should be considered. There are medical issues that could make it more difficult for a 25 year old to concieve than a 40 year old healthy woman. I don't care if you have been ttc for one month or five years, the feeling you have when it happens is unbelievable. With that said we are all women who want to conceive and deliver healthy babies. Huh?, I congratulate you on your pregnancy but I don't see what your "problem and fuss" is about. Are you just a little bitter because you did not conceive earlier than you did?

Actually, 27 is a big deal. Being pregnant is a big deal no matter what your age is and whether or not your pregnancy was planned or not planned. For the "older" ladies, i.e., the 42 year old, you have no idea about anyone's issues with regard to getting pregnant and as you should know, if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. A girlfriend at my work was ttc for over five years, she started at 21 and finally got pregnant. Her problem? She had healthy fertile eggs and her husband did not have any sperm issues.....oh, yeah, she has a brain tumor. So, until you know people's personal lives inside and out, keep your nasty, hateful, rude comments to yourself.

Bump

There was NO mention of her having health issues - just that she is 27 and ttc for 8 months-- and even mentioned 'average' couple at 25 ( not with problems conceiving). She must feel ancient when she turns 30!

I KNOW there was nothing said about trouble trying to conceive, but there are a number of women on this board who do have problems, and I am sick of nasty comments from people who think they know it all and who think that they are better than others.

To all the bitter ones...It doesn't matter how old you are, when you are trying to conceive and it's not happening for any given reason, it's hard. Faith was just trying to give a little encouragement and hope to all of those trying to conceive. I know it gets harder to convieve the older you get, but that's not Faith's fault. My aunt was labeled "infertile" when she was 24 after 3 years of tcc and she was absolutely devastated. Everyone out there ttc or who have had troubles conceived should stick together. And to "huh" specifically...honey, I hope your b___hiness wears off before that little baby arrives. That's all that kid needs is a bittle mother who takes it out on them that it was such a long and difficult task to convieve. Let it go lady. You're pregnant now. I'm 26 and got pregnant on my first try. Do you have anything bad to say to me? My mother was 37 when she had my little sister and also got pregnant on her first try...I guess you're going to badmouth us and hate us now because of our "healthy" eggs. This is not the place for bitterness and negativity. The people on this forum are looking for support or they're looking at giving a little support. If you can't be nice, go somewhere else and leave us all the hell alone.

I think that the orignal posting was just to give a ray of hope to persons ttc and have not been sucessful. The rude nasty comments were unnessary and it seems that a lot of these women have pesonal issues. Good luck to all and their little ones. Baby dust to all still trying to conceive. It iwas really nice of you faith.

Oh yea I was on BC for 8 years. When I came off I got pregnant 7 months after, loss the baby and 3 months later got pregnant again. Happy to say I am into my 6 month and going on strong. So I know all about the emtions that come with trying to conceive. I am 28. No matter what age your at ttc is a very emtionally and stressful time.

No, I won't. You haven't started a thread that says something to the like of 'I'm 26 and ttc'd for some months and hey I'm prego now so there's hope yet for you other HEALTHY women out there from this age group...' which gives the impression that other issues must be 1000x worse! I never said anything bad just expressing my opinion for overeager women who may already 'feel' old in their late 20's. It's not real life. And to Karen: Faith has NOT mentioned any health/personal issue--and I wasn't being rude, per sé.I was merely pointing out that this thread is overrated and could be misconstrued !!!

Faith, keep your chin up and have faith. Women/people/its can be very, very mean within these threads and I know from personal experience, too. However, despite the little, insecure schoolyard bullies there are some really nice women out here. Ignore the huhs and the %-\s and most of the others who hide behind pseudo names to spread their pseudo wisdoms. God Bless.

Overrated

thanks faith and nini.ignore the old hag thats on here-must be the hormones interfering with her age and cant handle it-lol!
