It's POSSIBLE... but the older you get.. the less "good" eggs you have left.. Your body releases the most viable eggs at the beginning of your life.. and as time goes on.. they get worse and worse.. up until menopause..
HOWEVER.. many women have had children that late.. so it's not a "No."
Seeing a reproductive endo would be smart.

I think you should consult w/ a reproductive endocrinologist to find out for sure!
Topic: RE: What is Wrong with Me?
I am brand new here and yeah I have already added you as a friend so your messages pop up on my page. I needed to quickly tell you to make sure you talk to your PCP about this and don't just trust the negative ultrasound.
I too was having problems.. six week periods and pain and massive mood swings... ALLLLL of my ultrasounds were normal and the doctor scheduled me for an endometrial ablation. When she cut into me to finish performing some other procedures that were being done at the same time, she found a grapefruit sized tumor that all four ultrasounds--- external and internal-- had missed. It was over 2 pounds and was attached to my right ovary. It had apparently been there for some time and to remove it she had to take the ovary and fallopian tube at the same time...
What was supposed to be a 50 minute procedure and be home by dinner ended up being 5 hour and we will let you go home tomorrow event...
I don't say this to scare you but to tell you that the ultrasounds don't show everything... the surgeon even halted the procedure and called her office to make sure the ultrasound had been read correctly... it had-- it just didnt read ME correctly
the transvaginal ultrasound showed no abnormalities and had we just let it go at that test I would have left a huge tumor inside me... it was benign thank G-d but it definitely needed to be out of me and i am glad its gone!
Rebecca- who is hoping to have a lap band procedure now that she thinks she has stopped being scared of the whole thing.... I have attended the information session and see the Dr 12/31

Topic: RE: What is Wrong with Me?
Damn Stacy, This is not good news. Keep bugging them!!! Find a specialist if the primary will refer you. You have to be your own advocate out there and you know if there is something wrong. Listen to your body and get to the bottom of it....or at least to the middle 
I wouldn't have the slightest clue about what is going on, but you have my sympathies.

Topic: What is Wrong with Me?
I have been having pain in my lower abdomen off and on for a long time. It occurs every month or so and is sharp and severe. It actually makes me double over and sex makes it worse. Since it has been happening regularly for the past year I asked my wls about it (fearing it was from my port) but he says it is way too low to be that and advised me to see my pcp (who is also my gyn).
I talked to my pcp who scheduled me for two ultrasounds. One was done on my abdomen to rule out appendicitis. The other was internal with the wand to get a better look at my uterus and ovaries. Neither scan showed anything abnormal. They told me to call back if it happens again. Since then it has happened several more time but I haven't made another appointment because im afraid they think I am nuts.
I did some research and found out about a condition called mettelschmertz (german for middle pain), which is painful ovulation and occurs with 20% of women. However, all articles and even my pcp confirmed at my physical on Nov 2 that I couldn't have this because I am on the pill and therefore do not ovulate.
My concern is there is something wrong on the inside of me and I won't be able to get pregnant next year.
Does anyone have any clue as to what may be going on with me? I want to call my doc and sked another appointment but feel as though I am bothering them with my pain that no one can find the cause for. My last pap was done on Nov 2 and was normal. I also had an internal that day and my doc says everything appears to be fine.

Topic: Is it possible...
My period stopped when I was 38 (I got over a certain weight and it went away)..am almost 43. Is it possible that it will come back and that I could have a miracle baby? I cant stop thinking that it may return....

Topic: RE: Doctor says I'm cured after 116lbs lost with band
That is wonderful Elena! My symptoms also went away but my dr said that I could never really be "cured" of PCOS. I will say this, though....I have no more symptoms and I have a regular period (like clockwork!) for the first time in my life. I really wanted to practice NFP (natural family planning) and now I can do this with no problems.
