46 yo, Egg Donor IVF - Anybody in Similar Situation?

[bloo]

Just wondering if any of you are in a similar situation. I just conceived via egg donor IVF at the age of 46. My daughter was conceived when I was 31 and totally natural so I am nervous about how different this pregnancy will be. Would love to compare notes with anyone else in a similar situation.

I just wanted to welcome you, as one of the older expectant mothers here.

I am 44 and miraculously pregnant with my own egg (after 3 miscarriages in two years).

Welcome!

I'm 43 (will be 44 when I have baby) and it's my first! We were a month or so away from IVF, (had done all the bloods, scans, etc) possible egg donation when I got pregnant naturally -- am 18wks today and so far, so good. This was after a m/c and two possible chemical over the past two years or so

congrats!

Congratulations, i have not written much here but wanted to do so now. I'm 43, almost 44 and pregnant of my first child using a donor egg. I'm currently 19 weeks pregnant. I could compare notes but unlike you I don't have a "natural" child .

No, no, no - it's a natural child - YOUR child, because you are carrying it, etc...!

best wishes

I'm 36 with my own egg so not in the same situation but wanted to congratulate you on your pregnancy and offer you a warm welcome! I'm happy for you (knock on wood) and wish you well.
