[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]47. one pregnancy at 46 even after being diagnosed with blocked tubes (only lasted 7 weeks).  We have kids and so not doing any treatments. But every month we try, and every month I hope, and every month I am just a little disappointed.  When does it stop?  Perhaps this is the wrong forum.  Maybe I should be in the 50 and above forum to get an asnwer

I do want another and feel my family incomplete though so much that I am willing to waste time and treasure and mental anguish on either IVF with doner eggs or adoption. [/quote]

I had a hysterectomy at 42.  I never felt like my family was complete but was having really heavy periods and cramping and pain--due in part to endo and also to fibroids.  We tried to get pregnant every month from age 36 to 42.  Finally I had enough and just scheduled the surgery.  It was a bit scary because I wondered if I would regret it.  
Turns out it was the best decision of my life.  I moved on emotionally.  If I could have planned my life, would I have had another child?  YES!  absolutely. But having the hysterectomy allowed me to emotionally move on and 100% live for the kids I do have.   I hated living in the limbo of "should I give everything away?, will this be the month?  how long should we try?"  It drove me nuts.  It was therapeutic to put it all behind me.  [/quote]

To the poster above, did the pain go away after the hysterectomy? Asking because I have severe endometriosis. [/quote]
