    Such a wonderful series. I was lucky enough to have doctors who were concerned about my fertility so I got tested around your age which showed results which were fortunately good. Now pregnant at 33 with my first however I have many friends struggling to fall pregnant.

    Hie Nicole Ellis, this is a really insightful series. It's really brave of you to do this. I am encouraging all my female friends to watch this. I suddenly have a whole different perspective on fertility and parenthood. Good luck to you, I hope you get all that you have dreamt of.

    Hi Nicole. I Found this video-article accidentaly here at CZcams and I've got really moved by your story. I went through the same thing last year finding out a lot of scary things about my reproductive system. It was so disappointing and I don't know yet what I'm gonna do about it but it was really, really good to watch these videos and see another young women, with a great career ahead of her, passing for the same thing. I wish you find the best way to deal with this and I'm sending thanks and a lot of love from Brazil.

    This is something that should be researched further. My grandson is one of these test tube babies because my new daughter in law wanted to be a mom at 45. Now they are finding that these children often do not have a mature digestive system. Will this child be in pain the rest of his life? No one knows how things will pan out. I am a chef. If given the choice of fresh corn or frozen you always get better results. If I cook from scratch the food is always better than if I microwave it.
    Just because you can do something does not mean you should. But that is just my opinion. Everyone has to live with their own choices.

      Believe it or not but men, when they look for wife material, do look for your "number" as an indicator of your "value". Women look for things like status and wealth, men look for physical attractivnes and low number of previous sexual partners. We are differient genders and we have differient indicators for most desirable partners for lifetime.

      @@jones2277 I'm not sure where you live but in the Western world, as well as much of Africa, women are very career-oriented to the point where they are not thinking of marriage and kids until its usually too late.
      Men can struggle with fertility but that would be due to different reason, not because they are over 35 or so? A man in his 80s can sire a child. This is an impossibility for women.

      @@africanindiaspo2895 then you've got to look at why marriage is undesirable to women in Africa. maybe it's because they grew up seeing how horrible it was for their mothers and the women in their families. maybe you don't make good husbands. maybe your poor decisions have led to the failed states across Africa and women are deciding to step up. have you ever considered that if you become better partners in your marriage, women might be able to achieve their dreams while also pursuing motherhood and/or marriage?

    Does having a child at 42 mean it will have Asperger syndrome/ autism? I’ve met many autistic kids with young mothers .... I think Cuzzo is blaming herself and should read/watch on Hulu “Far From the Tree” & seek counseling for grief... geez Louise
