Are you over the age of 35 or 40 and trying to conceive?

Shelley Tokish, a mixed-race (African American/ Caucasian), is a 42-year-old female with a diagnosis of unexplained infertility. She has been TTC for 3 years, which included 3 fibroid surgeries and 2 rounds of IVF. She got pregnant with twins after transferring 2 untested embryos from her second round of IVF. Unfortunately, Shelley lost one of the babies at 10 weeks. She gave birth to the surviving twin and her daughter is now 17 months. 

Recently, she's been TTC again and is now dealing with secondary infertility. Shelley transferred her last 4 embryos in two separate transfers. The first was unsuccessful, the last one she got a BFP, but lost the baby the week before Thanksgiving, at 6 weeks gestation. Shelley is passionate about sharing her story to encourage older women who are trying and/or trying again to conceive. And for women who have had reoccurring losses.
