I had my son when I was 44 years of age. I wanted to be a mom since I was 16 years old but it didn’t happen. Not until I met my current husband (had been married before and tried lots of stuff with the medical field). Sam is healthy, 11 years old and is the love of my life! Everything about the pregnancy was a blessing and I am able to enjoy every moment! Don’t give up, 33 is really “young”!

The journey to parenthood is so often not an easy one , my brother and his wife are able to get pregnant but have lost two babies to still births a year apart it is heart breaking , but they too go on somehow, trying to reconcile their struggles ,it would be so nice to have a crystal ball to see what lies ahead , I am wishing for you and my brother too full arms .

Having taken the required classes to become a foster parent, I know that you and your husband will feel empowered. I left each class, knowing more strongly than ever, the gift of a foster parent. As a teacher, I also know how a safe and stable home can change a child. Wishing you luck and happiness in this new year!

I hope 2010 brings more of what you are looking for. I also struggled with infertility, still do, but have accepted the choices I’ve made and the life that will likely be, now that I’m 42. There are images of embryos transferred during three IVFs that stay safe in my jewelry box to remember because that’s the only remembrance we’ll have of them. (Actually they’re in the jewelry box along with a vintage necklace I bought from you on etsy!) Of all the paths to take, I hope you find a happy way!

You caught my breath but then I thought – this is not my story, not my feelings – this is You. So that’s it girl – I celebrate you, your husband and know in my heart that somehow your dreams will come true. “Love in your heart wasn’t put there to stay, love isn’t Love ’til you give it away.” Jennifer

Sara,

This is a brave post. And it’s good to document the aching in your heart, because one day, your heart will overflow, and it will be good to look back. Everyone really is subject to “the plans” of God, whether we realize it or not. You are brought to the doorstep of that reality daily…and may your faith deepen in proportion to the depths of sadness. Blessings to you, Sara!

Sara, I haven’t visited in awhile. This is such heartfelt post. I will keep you and Josh in my prayers that your hearts’ desire happens for you. I was nearly 32 when I had my first child, there is still so much time even if it doesn’t feel that way. God Bless, Susan

Hi Sara,

I have been reading your blog from time to time, and wanted to let you know that there is always hope.
Perhaps it is easy for me to say but for me it was also a painful subject untill this 24th of december, when i could finely take my own son into my arms after having tried to get pregnant for 9 years.
We have also been through the ivf ordeal.
And we are so lucky here in Holland to be able to get ivf though our insurance, 3 times you can try and at the third time we got our miracle. It makes me sad that for you its a different story, it cost a lot of money and that still doesn´t mean it wil happen.

My best friend has also tried ivf 3 times and for them it didn´t happen, so sad.
Any way i am turning 40 this januari 22 and am finely a mom.

I do hope so for you that one day your miracle will come, becauce it was worth all the needle shots and all the pain and the wait.
Stay positive, at the last try with ivf i starten talking to my unborn child (i was not yet pregnant at this time). I told the child that i was ready for him or her, that it was very welkom and that we would make a good home and love it very much, i already used the names i had, and the next month i was pregnant!, (with a little help).

There is still time for you guys!!

Take care Sara!
Greetings from Anita from Holland
