So, Megan, how long have you been married? Seventeen years. Seventeen years. And um You said you had your children in your later thirties.
Thirty eight, forty, and forty two.
Right. And that and that How did that work for you? I mean, you have three children, so obviously it worked pretty well, but that is you're pushing the envelope at my that point. My sister had her child uh children at later in at at about that uh time. No, you're
definitely pushing the envelope. Yeah. They you get the big AMA on your chart, and then you make the mistake of asking what that means, and it means advanced maternal age. Right. Right. You're still in your thirties, you're not thinking here of yourself as advanced age anything, but yeah, I was. And um, you know, as I said it to you earlier, it I met my husband when I was thirty-five. We got engaged Um, I turned 36 a couple months later. We got engaged a year after that, so I was thirty-seven, and we got married when I was thirty-seven. So, you know, it was a fast turnaround once I met my husband. I had a shorter first marriage that ended in divorce. We ended our relationship amicably and thankfully with no children, because that's a whole sticky wicket, right?
When you end a marriage and there are children involved. Um so anyway, then Doug and I met, we got married pretty quickly and we tried to have a baby very quickly because we saw that clock ticking and we both really wanted to have children with each other. I to be honest, I wasn't feeling that urge prior to Doug. In my first marriage, I kind of knew I didn't want to. I just I think I might have had a sense like this wasn't gonna work out. With all due respect to my first husband who is a great guy and now is happily married to another woman with kids of his own. Uh, in any event, so my husband and I met, we got married pretty quickly, and pretty early on in that first year of trying, I went to the OBGYN to see whether I was okay, you know, just before we went down this exasperating path that everybody goes down in their mid thirties or women who wait.
And the eggs, as it turned out, were very youthful and fine. My eggs were great, so I wasn't suffering from what you can suffer from at that age for sure, 37. of like old eggs that are really not that fertile. That's a very real risk you're taking.
How does Megyn Kelly describe her experience with IVF and late‑age motherhood?
To me it wasn't even like on my mind because I wasn't really focused on children. Um but I was glad to hear that the eggs were in great shape, but I not to get too DSL, but I have what's called a T-shaped uterus. It's basically just a smaller uterus. And so the doctor said, that'll make it a little tougher for you. Really at any age it would have. And so I did use IVF for all three of my Pregnancies and it worked like a charm. And I had three beautiful babies and it worked out perfectly. So look, I'm lucky and I realize that. Uh-huh. Uh huh. If you if children are important to you, and hopefully they are. I mean, honestly, like I I too am alarmed about the birth rate. We're not going to have a society if we don't start repopulating.
But anyway, if they're important to you, you definitely should know you're taking a risk if you wait. And I think people need to be actively searching. For partners, and we need to do better about helping connect them. It's like one of my missions in life to in my personal role as a human on this earth, be active about introducing men and women to each other who are single. Like I I make it my mission. My husband hates it, but I just think it's part of our societal responsibility is to connect, especially good people, with other good people. And in my mind, like good Christians. With other good Christians and hopefully, you know, let them populate.
