I have always love kids since I was 9 because at that of my age, i started to babysit
my youngest sister. For now that i am already married i am longing to get pregnant. My husband and I are already 3 years and 9 mos married but till now we don't have a child of our own. We have undergo series of test,check ups, and fertility program but still none of them happened. Sometimes when i am alone, i felt depressed and sad thinking when will i get pregnant. I got married late at the age of 34, and sometimes i think that maybe getting married at the late age might be one of the factor why i did not get pregnant yet. Or maybe i gain weight too much and need to loose it. Or maybe because i have hormonal imbalance and i don't get my period monthly. So sad to feel that these are some of the things that i need to give my attention. So what i did now is to continue to pray and hope that someday i will have a baby of my own. And hoping that somebody can give me some friendly advice about getting pregnant.

Hello Sweetsaggi,
Welcome to myLot!
What were the outcomes of your tests?
As mentioned by you, there is hormonal imbalance and irregular/longer periods -- Do you have polycystic ovarian disease?
if the answer is yes, this link will be very helpful for you:

To me, PCOS appears the most likely cause of your problem, as there are longer periods and hormonal imbalance.
Further can be discussed after your comment. Good luck.

Anytime!
You can find a lot on the internet about PCOS and pregnancy.
Your doctor must have put you on medications like metformin (generic).
I want to just two things:
1. Reduce weight; although, it is a bit challenging, but extremely helpful.
2. Do not lose hope. There are always chances of getting pregnant with PCOS.
Good luck.

I know a lady that married at age 20 and tried to get pregnant for eight years. However she couldn't get pregnant at age 28 she gave up trying. She relaxed and got pregnant with twin boys. So stress can prevent a lady from getting pregnant and that is tge reason some ladies get pregnant on vacation. I suggest excercise and a healthy diet. I had my teenage son when I was 22, my disabled son when I was 34 and my daughter when I was 36. My sister had her 4th child when she was 39 years old. Some ladies 40 plus can get pregnant. Good luck.

Dear I Understand how much you have depressed. But this story will let you know, how better you are. My elder sister who got married at age of 32 and four years she was trying to conceive and could not. After 8 years of struggle she got baby at her age of 40. Even she underwent 12 tests, 4 IUI and then an ecoptic pregnancy with tubes bursted and IVF. 8 Years is really tough, but good part is she never wants to give up. Even when others felt sorry for her, she never wants to give up. She has lots of health problems and you are far better than her. You take this as a challenging one.
First find out a good gynae. If you are from my country, i can suggest you best gynaes.
Second, sort out the things which you feel is a factor, like over weight.
Dear, never take time to worry rather create a positive energy in you and start working on weight. And same time get the gynae help. You are not worser than my sister.Its just a delay for you in having the baby. Its not the end. You will soon own your baby. Worries will make you weak, cheers will make wonders. I have many friends who got married at 36 and having kids. Cheer up dear!

Just be careful and include in your prayers to give you enough strength once pregnancy comes because at your age getting pregnant have a lot of things to consider, including health conditions and safety for both the mother and the fetus. Make sure you have a stress free environment, less work load and eat a balanced diet, get enough sleep, and most of all have a positive disposition in life because these things will help you a lot saving energy needed for the labor process. Never give up and always have a positive outlook.

having a child is a gift from God. There is a saying, if its meant to be, it will be. I advice you to take it easy. Just enjoy the moments with your husband. Enjoy every intimate moment that you have and don't cloud your mind with not having a baby.

Hello!
As you said, both of you done with some tests and married for 3 years, don't worry because some women got pregnant at the age 40. And you know what, my sister got pregnant after 5 years of her marriage.
Just keep on praying, and in God's time, soon you have your own. God has plan for everything, just keep on believing in Him!

We always long for something that we do not have be it a child, a house, a good job or whatever. There is a cut off time to stop craving for something that we so desperately want. If it is ordained that you will not have children of your own it is time to reach a decision and go about filling that void by doing something that is fulfilling. There is so much out there that you can choose that will make you live a happy life.

Since you said you both have undergone series of tests and check ups but are both fine, then just wait for the pregnancy to come. Do not pressure yourself in getting pregnant because the more that you think of it, the more that it will not happen. It will come when you least expect it. There are a lot of older women who still gets pregnant just before they are 40.
As i have observed a lot of couples who have adopted a child , eventually will have their own child. Maybe you can opt for this. Continue praying, God will hear you one of these days.
