42+ pregnant?

[Happypregnant]

Has anyone here gotten pregnant at 42, 43, or even older and successfully had a healthy baby?

I'm still working on it at 36, but I know two people personally who have had their second healthy babies at 42. One is a Physicians Assistant I used to see, who naturally conceived first in her late 30s and second at 42. The other is a friend of my mother's who used estrotone and progesterone cream to conceive her first in late 30s and second at 42.

Finally, another friend of my mothers had her 7th (OMG!) at age 45.

All healthy babies! I am sure you'll hear from lots more women, too.

I have a friend who had her fourth healthy baby at 44. Good luck!!

I have heard of women having babies like at a very mature age but most of them weren't trying. I mean someone that did want a baby and tried and succeeded. How long have you been trying for?

Hey girls i am new on here, I got PG last year at just before 43 and am trying again now!

Hey i am new on here...got PG last year at nearly 43, and currently trying again...just read your post about estrotone and progesterone cream where do you get that from

Hi, google Malpani fertility in India. This doctor seems very knowledgeable and he talks about ways to help you improve your chances of conceiving at 40+, have you heard about DHEA? Research DHEA, Co-Enzyme Q10, wheat germ oil, and high doses of vitamin D3! CDHEA works for the majority of people with low ovarian reserve. I tried the progesterone cream but now i am doing the pessaries prescribed by the specialist.

Ps, you can get it from the internet (the progesterone cream)

What dosage of dhea are you taking? How are you getting on with it? (if you don't my asking )

I'm 43 (43.8 to be exact, so 44 when baby is born) and am about 3 mos pregnant w/2nd child. Experienced secondary infertility. DD is 12. Of course getting pregnant was half the battle, now hoping baby will be healthy and all genetic tests come out ok. Getting the new Harmony prenatal blood test for trisomies week after Thanksgiving, then probably amnio depending....

I posted most of my main supps in a new thread in the TTC over 35 group titled Over 40 Natural BFP DHEA CoQ10 Vitex Black Cohosh Low AMH.....it's on 2nd pg now, maybe this link works...

hi - i have gone back to your original post again and again - you mentioned you got on better with a low dose DHEA over a longer period. I have never touched the stuff before but I'm getting desperate (you know the feeling!!) - so I'm think of 10mg per day or perhaps 25mg - how did you get on with the low dose - did you notice anything out of the ordinary/any discomforts. Do you think there is anything in particular that helped you? thanks for your time x PS - please keep us up to date with your pregnancy - very exciting but always nice to get those initial tests out of the way - all the best with those x

Me! After an mc at age 41, we were planning to go for IVF, but in pre-IVF blood work, it was discovered I had an underactive thyroid and after a few months of adjusting dosage, I got my BFP at age 43. I also took metformin, which some studies suggest can decrease the level of mc, did acupunture and lost weight in preparation for IVF, but we got lucky naturally and at age 44, my little boy was born healthy and happy (I did get pre-eclampsia, but up until wk 32 when high blood pressure diagnosed, a good pregnancy (no real issues at age 43/44)), so it is possible!

My LO is now 9 months+ and developmentally on target (actually very sociable!) and is a great little fellow -- I am so grateful, but wish I had started younger as I think 45+ is a little tricky for another, but am enjoying being a first-time mum (most of the time!)

best wishes and don't give up hope -- if an 'ordinary' person like me can beat the statistics, it is possible for others!

Hello! Just wanted to say my FS strongly recommended COQ10. But when I suggested DHEA he said it`s only helpful if you have PCOS, which I don`t. Hope it helps.

Hi, I am taking 25mg 3 times a day, no side effects, if any, I just feel better with more energy and less aches and pains. I can see you are taking CoQ10... I am have taken 400Mg per day, chinese acupuncture, 60,000 units of Vitamin D3, wheat germ oil, and intralipids!

@ Verneil: well for you, you are too young,DHEA works if you are older like me and have low ovarian reserve or a low AMH... but I see you are very young... when was your little miracle baby boy was born?

Well, not long ago there was a big fuzz in the news that something like 80% of the population (in England) are vitamin D defficient. Now imagine that is the case with people in higher lattitudes as we don't get the sunshine. And at the same time I was researching for an IVF clinic and I thought of a few countries where it was cheaper than here in the Uk and I came across an indian doctor, look up his website (pretty switched on!) and he recommended to take it (it lowers your FSH) and it also helps with inflamation (that is other research I did and a book I bought) so he told me that to lower my FSH, take 60,000 IU of Vitamin D, Co-enzyme Q10, DHEA, and wheat germ extract and if I could accupuncture. And that is what I have been doing. My AMH went higher (and that is not meant to go higher according to what doctors believed) but if you reseach a clinic in New York city, they explain as to how AMH can go up! And in a nut shell, it is because it increases your antral follicle count and makes the embryos healthier with less chromosomal abnormatilies.

Happy thanks so much for reply.....will certainly be looking at that d3!
