44 and TTC for first time

[l8bloomer]

So, I went to the Dr. She was very supportive and is sending me for the Day 3 and 21 tests. DH has to get a SA. He's not too keen on that but, we all have to make sacrifices...

She did tell me about a patient of hers that got pregnant at 46, naturally and unplanned!! She went on to have a healthy baby!

Excellent news l8, my GP was also very supportive and didn't really bat an eyelid about my age

 

[truly_blessed]

that's great news.

My GP said it was unlikely, BUT was willing to run loads of blood work, also pre-IVF blood work, prescribed the metformin (PCOS) and dealt with my underactive thyroid -- she was/is so delighted that I fell pregnant, so as I said, you need somebody realistic but encouraging!

best wishes

It's true that what you read about ttc and being pregnant over 35 is pretty terrifying. Try not to read too much into it all. And you also get different statisitcs depending on where you look. If you want a baby you should go for it. Preseed I swear by, good luck!

What test did you take that you found out so early you were pregnant? 3 weeks-is very early isnt it.

Just feeling very alone and worried that we will never have a little one of our own. With Christmas just around the corner, it makes the pain harder to bear.
And I can feel that AF is just a few days away. The disappointment I'm feeling at another unsuccessful cycle doesn't help.

And I thought I was doing so well.

Hi
I hope it is possible.Im 42 and been ttc for over 2 years now.Just had loads of tests and everything seems fine tubes open,just my bloody age letting me down...
Can anyone reccommend and vitamins I could take.Ive just strted taking q10

I'm also 44 and pregnant. It did take a while to conceive this time round but I did so naturally but with the help of OPKs so I could confirm when I was ovulating.

A friend of mine fell pregnant (by accident) at 45. So it can happen. I think we just have to be more patient at this age.

Oh and just wanted to add that at 44 I am having a very smooth pregnancy. A lot of what you read about conception and pregnancy in your 40s is very scary but it isn't always like that.

 

[Desperado167]

It just depends on the person, your doctor can do a fsh test and see if your body will respond to it. I'm 43 and I took the test this summer and I did not respond to clomid. I do however respond to soy isoflavins. I got pregnant twice but lost both of them.

So sorry to hear that.Ive not heard of soy isoflavins,but will check it out.Im going back to the hospital in a couple of months when all our test results are back.I had one test done (cant remember name of it)which was very low and indicated ivf wouldnt have a high chance of working,but my tubes are open,so thats one in my favour I suppose!Its nice to know theres other my age still at it lol x
