Thank you so much Sophie! You are definitely an inspiration! I'm not very far behind in age -37 now, will be 38 in October. Our 10-year ttc journey has been a rough one with its ups and downs. I knew I had PCOS with irregular and anovulatory cycles, but I wanted to try the natural way, went thru many trials with different herbs, teas, massages, etc, as we were waiting for a miracle to happen. At one point I was put on Metformin and Clomid but i didn't do even one cycle of Clomid as I had bad side effects. Years went by, nothing happened, so we finally decided to seek medical help again and I got the guts to agree to a laparoscopy. I had it done in March this year and since then we are actively ttcing. According to my doc, my chances without a lap were basically nonexistent but he's very pleased with how everything went and that no other issues were found. So basically as long as we can get ovulation going and bd on time, my chances are pretty good. I know the age factor is working against me but like you said, if there is even a 1-3 % chance, why not me? Although I don't understand and can't explain why everything happens the way it does, I do know everything in our lives happens for a reason and I trust God to lead us down this road and hope some day He will put a precious little one in our arms and His timing will be perfect.
