To think it won’t be hard to conceive?

[Wedonttalkaboutprunesno]

Baby #3?

but I’m approaching that age where fertility starts it’s decline but I do have a high AMH.

our first were 7 months and first month so would it stand to reason that #3 would be the same?

my age worries me a bit but I spoke to my GP and they were quite dismissive of any concerns, and said if I’ve conceived 2 naturally there’s no reason to think a third would be challenging

There are no guarantees. If you want a third at your age, I suggest you get on with it. If you want to piss money away on tests that will probably be inconclusive, then Google fertility clinics in your area.

Until you try, no one can tell you if you will have any issues, especially when you have had no issues previously. I’m failing to understand why you are making such a big deal about this when you aren’t even TTC.

She isn’t still wittering on about it to the GP though is she? She asked the GP a question, GP answered it. I’m sure the NHS will survive it this time.

So do you miscarry or abort to know that at 40, you continually get pregnant straight away?

No, but she’s whittering on here despite already having her question answered … so what is the point in even asking if she wasn’t going to listen?

I had a follow up for a small surgery I had on my cervix, i was asked about contraception i declined and the question felt appropriate

Doesn’t the fact that you were being asked about contraception kind of show that you are expected to be able to conceive? Again, what did you actually want the GP to do or say?

Maybe she’s still here because according to you the GP ‘fobbed her off’? Who knows.

Wasn't it? Op said she went to the gp for "another reason", with an unrelated query.

She also said it was in the same vicinity, so it was related to why she was there.

It’s not according to me, she claimed the GP was “dismissive” its right there in the OP.

My question is what did she actually expect the GP to say or do, given that she hadn’t even confirmed she was going to ttc, nevermind actually starting and trying for a reasonable length of time?

nothing especially I just wasn’t sure if it would be that straight forward given age and the fact I just had a procedure on my cervix (the underlying reasons for the procedure etc), hence my question here

I had my first at 23/24 conceived 4th month off the pill however I didn’t actually ovulate or have a period for the first 3 if those months. 2nd pregnancy at 26 was accidental, ended in miscarriage, conceived first cycle after that.
Third I was 35, conceived first cycle just two weeks after stopping my contraceptive ring, we were stressed to be waiting but weren’t very careful at in thought it would take months/a year at my age.
I’m now super conscious of good contraception as I do not want anymore.

And she said it was straightforward, yet apparently that is “dismissive”.

So again, what kind or response did you want or expect?

You’ve asked this question atleast 4 times and she’s tried to answer it. What exactly is your issue? What response do YOU want? Particularly as you think the GPs response was fobbing her off anyway.

If you are 35 and know you will want a third then I think you need to start now. Hope of tests to give you (potentially false) confidence to wait is misplaced thinking. It may seem inconvenient to have a baby now workwise, but it will probably be inconvenient for work later too. Just do it if you want it. Work will sort itself out and you won't have anything like the regret that you would get missing out on a third child you wanted.

I had my first 34, conceived 4th month of trying. Second at 37 after 14 months trying and two early miscarriages. If you want another baby I'd get on with it. There are no guarantees, especially as you get older. It it really is very depressing when it doesn't happen easily. I didn't have a difficult time compared to a lot of people, but it did cast a shadow over everything for a while.

Where has she answered it? She hasn’t.

I don’t think the GP fobbed her off, the GP answered her question honestly. However, op felt like she had been fobbed off. Op can get any of this information from google. As someone who has had fertility issues, I think OP is ridiculous.

The way the GP answered was a bit dismissive, perhaps she couldn’t understand why I was worried (I’d had that procedure to remove pre cancerous cervix cells and had continuous spotting after, so pre cancer Is quite worrisome for me at least) but there’s a difference a bit dismissive and being fobbed off

I didn't think it would be hard. Started trying when I was 26 and dh 39 (he has 2 dc already) We're now a year and a half down the line with no baby and having had 4 miscarriages. Never thought this would be our story...

My cousin had 2 and a much wanted number 3 never arrived.

Your cervix doesn’t affect your ability to conceive though? Had you asked if it would affect your ability to carry to term you might have got a different answer.

No, I said I thought the GP was a bit dismissive with the you’ve had kids before you’ll be grand especially when you hear 35 is advanced maternal age often

I said to ‘have another baby’ in which carrying the baby is implied I thought

Yeah we get it, you don’t like the OP, you’ve made this very clear plenty of times. You said ‘no wonder the GP fobbed you off’ which does suggest you thought the GP fobbed her off because she asked at an appointment for something else - because that’s what you said.

You aren’t helping with your deliberately obtuse answers OP. Unless you are just enjoying winding people up.
