33 and worried

I have to keep telling myself everything will be okay, no matter what. I’m 33 and I have a 10 yr old, he was a Micro Preemie, born @ 26 weeks gestation, weighing 1 lb 11oz. I was given medicine to take as part of my pre op to get a hysterectomy, because my PCOS was so horrible. My OBGYN had seen my problems of bleeding for months at a time, so she suggested it hysterectomy. I ended up becoming pregnant while taking those meds for pre op. She thought I would never have a child and there I was pregnant, not able to get a hysterectomy, thankfully. But was a single mother from pregnancy until 2019 (met husband!)

Fast forward to current day, got married (last year) and we have been trying since.. I am now 14 DPO, day 1 of late period. All tests say no, negative, big ole nope! I guess what I’m trying to say is I’m scared that my age and PCOS problems will prevent baby #2. This is just me venting😞 I feel selfish for wanting another baby, and then venting about it on here when there are women who haven’t even been able to have 1 of their own, and here I am upset. Please tell me there’s hope with my husband and I having a baby in my 30’s, with all things considered…. I really just want him to have one of his own, that he can watch grow. He came into my sons life at 8. He’d be a great Girl Dad.

I’m sorry, I also feel guilty venting as I have two kids (5yr old who was born at 34wks and a 2yr old born 37wks)… and we’ve have been TTC for baby 3 for 4 months now. After I had my 2nd baby my periods are horrific & my cycles went from 29 days to 25 days. Labs & ultrasounds don’t reflect why my periods are SO bad. I’m also worried baby 3 just won’t happen. Hang in there.

Pcos is a struggle! It's just not easy, but it's not impossible either!Here where I'm from its very normal to have kids in your 30's. I'm "only" 31 years old myself, but age has definitely not been a problem for me and my husband ttc. Most of those I know that struggle, do have something else to struggle with often.So while pcos is not exactly making it easier, both that and your age isn't a guarantee that it won't happen. My friend had some luck with changing her diet ttc her first with pcos. Shetried for years, but a diet change helped. Maybe that's worth looking into?Best of luck 🙏
