092. We have Selah on to share her spontaneous pregnancy at 41. You might know her for her older mom and boy mom skits on IG or as the voice of Chloe Bourgeois. She started trying to conceive in her early thirties. After three years of trying, she started to be more intentional by tracking her ovulation and temperature, but nothing happened. She went to a fertility clinic for help. They cleaned out her fallopian tubes, scraped her uterus and removed a garden of polyps on her uterus. She was never officially diagnosed, but she had an endometrioma on her uterus. Her periods were extremely painful. Then she had two IUI's, but that didn't work. With her three egg retrievals, she only got nine eggs total, so she wasn't confident. Finally, the embryo stuck with the transfer, and she had her first son at 37. At 38, she wanted to try for a sibling, but after a year of trying, she wasn't pregnant. At 39, right before Christmas, she email her clinic to let them know she was ready to have another transfer. Christmas morning she woke up only to realize her cycle was late. She found out Christmas Day she was pregnant at 39 with her second baby. Selah didn’t think it was possible to get pregnant at 41.
