TTC after 35

Rant

I read that Amanda Seyfried said she feels like her eggs are dying off and she needs to have a baby. She's 29. I'm 37 and TTC#1. She and her fresh little 29-year-old ovaries need to pipe down.
TTC#1 since Jan 2015
BFP 2/19/15  •  MMC found at 9 wks  •  D&E at 11 wks (age 36)
BFP 8/29/15
  •  CP (age 37)
BFP 11/18/15  •  DD born at 41 weeks <3(age 37/38)

TTC#2 since May 2017
BFP 10/18/17  •  MMC found at 8 wks  •  Misoprostal at 10.5 wks (age 39)

BFP 2/16/18
  •  CP (age 39)
BFP 4/13/18
  •  CP (age 39)
BFP 5/07/18  •  MMC found at 10.5 wks  •  D&E at 11.5 wks 
•  Testing showed it was a girl with Trisomy 22. (age 39/40)
9/5/18 Diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve (4-5 follicles, one ovary had none and was very atrophied)

RE says the low egg count is likely causing my recurrent pregnancy loss. Less eggs results in more aneuploidy.

Re: Rant

  • That sounds to me like someone who's used to getting her way. "I'd like to be in Tahiti! *poof* I'm there!" "I'd like to have a baby!" ...Um, not so much.
  • If her eggs are dying at age 29, then I'm in real trouble. If I sneeze, mine will probably disappear in a puff of dust.

    No, if they're really dying then she's the one in trouble! ;)

    Ugh.  I'm sure she was just being stupid and speaking without thinking of the many women who this is actually a problem for. Celebrities seem to speak without thinking a lot.
