I posted this in another forum, but I think this is the better place:
Just wanted to offer you ladies some words of encouragement.
Two years ago, at age 36, after TTC with my husband unsuccessfully for about one year, we went to a fertility clinic. We were both tested and the results were pretty dismal. My husband was ok, but I had low ovarian reserve -- too few eggs and the ones I had were low quality. I was told that my chances of conceiving naturally were 2%. With insemination, my chances only went up to 6%, and with Invitro up to 10%. I was pretty devastated. To avoid the financial and emotional stress, we decided not to pursue any treatments given the very low odds. I believed that God must have another purpose for me....And so life went on....
Today, at 38 years old, I am 2 months pregnant....much to our surprise! I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude. We didn't change anything. I really am still in shock that it happened. So ladies, keep the faith. Keep the hope.
And believe in miracles.
