42+ pregnant?

[Tina_TTC2]

HI all! I am 44, and after having had 2 miscarriages in 2 years, we stopped trying for awhile.

Actually, we kind of gave up - or I did. Then, I decided to give it one last shot. I may be crazy, but, at 44, We're seeing what can happen.

I am on letrozole/femera (alternative to chlomid) - or was at the beginning of this cycle. I also took Maca root for a few days, but then I fell really ill - fever of 102.5(F) and dehydration - up until Friday. I started to feel a bit better Friday night, but still not quite there. I went to the Dr Yesterday morning, and there were 2 follicles, so they gave me the HCG shot. NOW i'm a little worried about what the fever may have done to the eggs. Any thoughts on that? -then there's the - oh man - TWO eggs? thing... I'm still runnig a low grade fever, but I think that might be from ovulation - not sure. We have to BD today and tomorrow again, and then I'll be in the TWW... It all feels surreal and unlikely, but I have a TON of EWCM - this time - not sure if it's because of the 2 follies, or if it's from the Mucinex I was taking to thin the mucus - but there's a TON of it.

Hello all

Hi Tina , i should think the extra cm is due to the Mucinex i heard its really good. I wish you all the best and so sorry to hear of your loses.
I too am Tina !, and im 46 but we have had no help at all since i was 40, and have been going it alone but its so good to hear someone over 40 is getting the help and im keeping everything crossed that both the eggy's take if not at least one.
Keeps us informed hun and best wishes xx

Hello all

Hi Tina, you may want to do an immune blood test after.two.miscarriages... Are you in UK or USA? I had 3 and took it in my hands to see a specialist and it was a great help for this pregnancy. Lots of baby dust to you.

HI! what is an immune blood test? I am seeing a fertility specialist and they ran lots of tests, but I don't know if that was one of them? he said all my blood work was normal though. My issue(it appears) is that i wasn't ovulating. it sounds like all my parts are working, levels are good, the only problem was they things were firing at the wrong times. i.e., when I was supposed to be on my period, my uterus looked like it was ovulating. I went in on day 3 of my cycle, and they scanned me, and said "It looks like you are just about to ovulate" did blood work, and confirmed I wasn't 'about to ovulate' I was WAY out of synch. They started me on Femera to stimulate the ovaries, and I went back in 12 days - no response. Upped Femera to 10 Mg, went back, and had 2 follies on the left, and they couldn't see the right (lord knows - but what if there were some there too?!).

Hi an immume test is to look for thrombophilia, NK cells. In my case, I kept miscarrying because my immune system attacked the embryos. They gave me some stuff and my immune system got to calm down. And Thats how come I am now pregnant almost half way.

 

[Tina_TTC2]

hmm - thank you! I may have to talk to my dr. I am seeing a fertility specialist, so I wonder if that was one of the blood tests they gave me (there were a TON of tests they did in the beginning). THANK YOU!

Hi ladies, this board gives me so much hope. This is the first time I participate Ina group discussion for any kind but I fell I need peer support.

I'm 43.7 this week and just starting to try! I feel sad that I finally met mr. Right and he has no kids and now I'm just too old to build a family with him... He loves kids too.

Well, happypregnant I have read this entire thread and I'm so happy for you!!! Thank you for starting this page for us crazy women, lol

BTW, my best friend's aunt got pregnant naturally at age 49!!!!!!! ( She had just gotten married) All natural spontaneous and it was her first child. The boy is 13 years old today.

Yes it does happen!

WELCOME! I too met my Mr. Right at 40, now at 41 TTC with #1....for both of us. It's hard sometimes, sometimes really hard...but I have to believe and have hope. I can't listen to those who say "you're too old".

Good luck....baby dust to you!! And all of us.

Congratulations to you for meeting mr. Right and for trying. You know... I chose not to tell anyone about ttc. I don't want negative opinion from anyone and that's why I joined this group. I only talk to my sister who is also trying with #1 but that's it. Lets be positive! You still have time. Another one of my closest friends got pregnant last year at 41 without trying intact she was trying NOT to.

Lots and lots of baby dust to you!

I'm also keeping it to myself. And I guess we are gonna say it's an accident if it does happen. I can't take the judgement - not about a new life that's come into this world. The baby is going to know we were trying HARD for Him/her though

Right there with you happypregnant, but I'm really hopeful I know it's going to happen.

I forgot to say! My future sister-in-law is 46 and has a 2year old that was just a total surprise!

41 is not too old to conceive. Assuming everything else is fine, it is just a matter of time. I conceived without help at 41 but I just couldn't keep the babies... but that was because my immune system was attacking them. Had that not been the case, I would have 1 kid every year!
