42+ pregnant?

[CedarWood]

Depends...I'm on steroids and intralipids

Thanks, just checked out your siggy. Do you have a clotting disorder or what are your immune issues? I have autoimmune but not clotting.
Good luck this cycle

apparently some sticky blood...the rest they don't know exactly, could be arthritis. and some natural killer cell stuff

Thanks, I had NK cells show up as well. I have endo and apparently, they tend to go together.

 

[LLbean]

that's what the intralipids are for

Jaysay, you are starting the Progesterone too early if you begin it with a +LH surge, basically you are ruining your fertile cm. Wait until 2-3 dpo, and /or temp shift

Hi all I'm 46, almost 11 weeks, conceived naturally (spontaneous) at 45 (last egg before I turned 46). Just saw my ob/gyn, she says I am her record holder so far, and so far so good. I have two kids already 13 and 16. So there will be a gap : D.

Good luck to all! Scans thus far have been good, and baby appears healthy.

Congrats notrustyet! Girls are so much fun.

Congrats to all those expecting and good luck to all those still ttc

I am hoping to persuade hubby for one more - but at 40 this year am scared of it being too late or too risky etc - you preggo ladies give me hope it can happen; and you ttc ladies too make me realise that age is just a number

... and forty is not THAT old lol!! Is it? haha (would never have thought that when i was in my teens /twenties lol)

good luck and baby dust to all xxx

Thanks, and Wowwww to you!!!!!

Maybe I'll try to squeeze in one more lol.. My DD will turn 13 a month before my due date in June when I'll be exactly 44.4 years old. So I have huge age gap too, but my DH was in an accident if you read my original post....I think that 19 kids and counting lady got pregnant w/20th at age 46 too, but I think she miscarried early on. Keep us posted on tests/ultrasounds, best to you!

Anyone know what happened to Happypregnant, the OP? I lost the bean I reported.

notrusty and Rashaa, thanks for continuing to post here. You guys are inspirations!

@Lucky W and anyone else (I haven't read the messages only the last one where she asks for me) I am here and guess what? PREGNANT AGAIN!!! I am sitting at Mr. Shehata's clinic waiting to get intralipids. This time I did not mean to get pregnant. I had sex once! Just once during the cycle and it was a wham, bam, thank you ma'am? And here I am pregnant. I wasn't meant to get pregnant until I started the treatment of prednisolone. I started taking Plaquenil (antimallarial drug) that calms my hyper active immune system. Happens that I have nigh NK cells! They were the culprit of my Mmcs. As I got pregnant before starting the full treatment, there is only a 60% chance to save this pregnancy. So I am waiting to get an intralipid infusion to try and calm my NK cells. Hopefully we can save this pregnancy... If not, now I know that i stand a much better chance to carry to term next time. I am happy and hopeful but also aware that it may not happen. But I won't give up. Have come this far... Too far to give up now. Watch this space. I am writing from my mobile so ignore typos lol... Will write more when I get access to my computer.

Lucky w... In my excitement I didn't realize you lost your bean Sorry. I know what it feels like Too well! But there is always hope! I am 43 with an AMH of 3.08 and FSH 8 and I have lost 4 babies and yet I won't bloody give up! Talk later x

Thats great news happy! Chuffed for you.....

did you BD on ovulation day? Had you started on your DHEA, if so, how much were you taking?

 

[cheshirecat]

Can I join you ladies.

Congrats Happy, Ive been reading back on posts, and you must be excited Can I ask what your sperm counts are like after the VR?

A bit about me, Im 45 and we have 2 boys aged 8 and 10, DH had a vasectomy reversal in June 2011, and the sperm analysis isnt too bad, Ive been having the routine tests I can get on the NHS, and am just waiting for the right time for a HSG, if all clear they will give me 6 months of clomid.

[notrustyyet]

[LuckyW]

Wishing you the stickies!

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... nice to be back and see you guys!! yes, I did BD on my ovulation day but I insist, it was a quicky lolol... it was done for the hell of it. You know, when I was trying to conceive, I would lay there with my butt up the air for like 20 minutes after BD, used preseed, did ovulation charts, temp charts, chinese acupuncture, the lot!!! Nothing, not a sausage! And this time, I know it was day 14 of my cycle, that is all I knew and it wasn't even all that fun lol... it was just cuz I could lol... and... bang! !!! I did 25mg 3 times a day but this stuff was heavy duty cuz I could not hack 3 tablets a day! It gave me horrible headaches after like 3 weeks... I put up with them but then my blood pressure shut up so I did only 2... then reduced it to one, then I stopped altogether! I resumed after 3 weeks again but... the beauty of it is that it takes 3 months for those eggs to be ovulated... so this cycle it has been 10 weeks since I first started so fingers crossed, this one is a good egg!!! How are you? xx
