There is no way to know–you didn’t give any information on which to base an opinion…

You shouldn’t have any- but just remember that after you turn 30 a child you have is more likely to be born with or develop down syndrome or another dificiency.

Maybe or maybe not. It depends on your health.

Not unless you are overweight or your partner doesn’t have good swimmers.

No, just have a lot of sex and do not use any condoms or birth control……unless you are not in a relationship, you should be very careful.

if you are not having sex with your husband, it will be very difficult to get pregnant

my mother got pregnant at 38 after having her tubes tied. It depends on the person though. If you put a lot of pressure on it then it gets harder. You really start pushing your luck after 35 though (as far as the health of the child) so think it through.

No, but according to science your child has a better chance of having trisomy disorder, the older you are the higher the babies risks is.

I’m being facetious, but it always seems that if you don’t want to get pregnant, it happens the first time a man sneezes in the same room. If you want to get pregnant, it always seems harder.

Quite frankly you don’t give any information that would indicate why you have doubts. Is there a past medical problem?

Your age alone is not normally a problem. Yeah it is harder than at 22, but by no means tough. I did it..without even meaning too!

It is probably best if you ask your doctor.

You might not have problems getting pregnant, but you’re at the age where the doctors will watch you very carefully. It’s at the age of 34 or 35 when pregnancys are more dangerous or risky, one common thing that happens is Down Syndrome. I’m not trying to scare you or anything, but you need to know about all the downfalls of getting pregnant later in life.

Good luck.

They say that the magic number for women is 35, but lots of women get pregnant just fine after that age. Lots of women have a hard time getting pregnant before that age. Just remember, 1 year is the magic number, if you are not pregnant after 1 year of trying, see your gyno to have you & he checked.

34 is definitely not too old (my last daughter was born when I was 36). If you are worried, you might want to check with a doctor on this, especially if you have health concerns.

But your age is not too old!!

amo Says:

yes you can still get pregnant. the average women starts losing her eggs after 45 more or less

You better hurry because you clock is not ticking anymore it is racing……

there could be many reasons why. you need to check with your doctor and make sure every thing is ok, then have your husband checked.

wolf Says:

it depends on your genetic predisposition…

according to survey at the age of 30 a lot of women increases the risk of not getting a healthy pregnancy…

but a lot of others are able to bear child up to the late age of 45…

good luck

Heck no, I’m 38 and due in 23 days! There are simple tests they can do to see if you’re still ovulating and, if not, they can stimulate it with a drug called Puregon. I took puregon injections for two cycles, then when we took a break – bang! We conceived.

i’m 33 and having all kinds of problems. i had my daughter when i was 25 and had no trouble… so it never occured to me that i could ever develop problems. now i have endometriosis and poly-cystic ovarian syndrom. my husband and i have been trying to have another child for about 2 years. i finally went to see a fertility specialist that ran a LOT of test. the poly-cystic ovarian is causing me not to ovulate properly… but i’m on a treatment plan now (drugs) and i am going back next monday to see if they can go through with artificial insemination. we opted for artificial insemination because time is a factor with endometriosis… ugh.

As long as you are healthy and all is well, you should be fine, and it’s actually over the age of 35 that your risk factors increase by a larger amount, then you are termed an older mother. My sister just had her first at the age of 40. Your doctor will advise you of any risks once you are pregnant, but as far as getting to that point, I’m sure all will be well. I just had my first at 32.

You may have a slight challenge, but chances are that if there are no medical problems you shouldn’t have a problem. I conceived my youngest (and LAST) at 34, and I wasn’t even trying!

There are now ovulation predictors available over-the-counter that can assist you with the expense of doctor tests. I’d also like to suggest that the start taking an iron supplement and, even more important, start taking a Folic Acid supplement NOW, before you conceive. you can purchase an iron capsule that also contains the folic acid, they’re ideal. Taking this before you conceive has been proven conclusively to reduce the instances of spina biffida, which is slightly more prevalent in later pregnancies. Of course, double-check with your doctor before anything.

One last thing: get lots and lots of rest. It won’t help you conceive, but you won’t get much sleep once that baby arrives!
Best wishes to you!!

I am 38 and have a 4 year old. She is just beautiful. Consult your doctor of course before you start trying so you can eliminate some of your fears and other fears that some people can bestow upon you. Your doctor can address any concerns you may have with fertility if you have been on birth control for a long time or are just wondering about counts in eggs and such. If there does seem to be a problem with this there is also fertility clinics that have a wide range of suggestions or you can see a naturalist. Good luck in your adventures and God Bless!

don’t know

come on over – let’s find out

This is my standard answer……… go get a book called Taking Charge of your fertility by Toni Weschler. It will help you understand your body and all the myths about it. It will help you time when you are ovulating and the best times to conceive. My Doctor recommended it to me and after 1 year of trying I got the book. It worked the very next month. I am 38 years old and once I figured out my cycle I had no trouble at all. It turns out that my timing was wrong due to mis-information. I hope it helps you, too! It’s not only about getting pregnant. It’s about knowing your body and knowing when you are fertile or not. You can pick and choose what you do with your info. Good luck and don’t listen the all the myths!

baggyk Says:

No, not at all.

It is actually a wonderful age to have a baby because you are mature enough to be a good mother and you have experienced life to the point that you won’t have wonder what you’re missing out on when you have to make sacrifices for the baby.

Good luck.
