Hey @stormi, it’s so nice of you that you have shared your experience. It’s so encouraging and motivating. Those who are facing failures in conceiving and don’t make any further attempt will get motivation. Congrats to your friend who successfully conceived at such age. Fertility in ladies is at its peak before the age of 30. But it tends to fall down gradually after the 40s. Hence, the chances to conceive only remains 20 to 25%. Hence, age is a factor that effects. It may be very disappointing and heart-wrenching. But you have to be strong and solid enough to fight with it. Those who don’t lose heart and keep on trying definitely get the reward. Indeed the patience ensures the victory. Surrogacy and IVF are also some working treatments for infertility issues. God tests his creations in many ways. All a man can do is not to lose hope in any circumstance. I hope that you will get your desire soon!
