Hi hun i'm not yet 42 but will be 41 in a few months. Dh and I took 24 cycles to conceive ds. Hubbie had poor morphology.

we're planing to ttc number 2 and I'm not expecting to get pg any time soon or if not longer, perhaps by 42 if we're lucky. I said I didn't want to try after 43. But we'll see what happens in a few yrs.

I had nausea everyday of the pregnancy, I then developed gd and was admitted to hospital to be induced that failed and I had a c-section and had PND. How ever that was my pregnancy it doesn't mean urs will be the same. I wish you lots of luck and baby dust xxxxxxxxxx

 

[justhoping]

thanks...sounds like my other pregnancy yrs ago...

ugh so i have alot to face if i do get pregnant..but i guess worth it..

yea i gave the cut off date of noway im trying at 44...i dont want a 5 yr old at 50...maybe im selfish but to me that seems rather hard , no?

 

[tigerlilly]

That what I thought but the desire selfish or not to have a baby is so very powerful.

When you get ur bfp your pregnancy could be great! we just don't know. mine certainly has put me off trying sooner

 

[justhoping]

the desire is very powerful....but honestly cant see trying definitly once i hit 45...i mean that would be my total cut off..

i have medical problems as well and i think no matter how much my heart would want this medially it would be safer for me to back off at that point..im still 41 so i do have time...

so hope we all get that bfp

or have you?

[justhoping]

I'm 42, will be 43 in April. We tried for a little over a year and got PG naturally. I don't think this PG has been any harder than my others really (although I may not completely remember!LOL) except for being more tired. This is also my first with GD, so that's a pain. Good luck!!

 

[justhoping]

oh, im sorry your dealing with gd....hopefully that is the worst you deal with this pregnancy..

im hoping when it happens its not so bad too xx

hi I got pregnant at 45 using donor eggs after having a natural mc at 44. Apart from feeling nauseous and tired (which I think is pretty normal for any age) my pregnancy has been good so far. I don't feel like I'm too old and am excited about my baby boy's arrival

Good luck

 

[justhoping]

thanks for sharing..

what was the reason for the doner eggs..wondering if i may at somepoint have to go that route, right now my fsh is good....so im told i wont need that as of right now..but not sure how much longer is right now...


congrats

Thanks

I decided my last shot was ivf and chances of success at my age were about 2-3% I think so I wasn't going to bother with that whereas chances with donor eggs at my clinic were 57%

 

[justhoping]

that does sound alot better....

may i ask if insurance helped with this?

No we don't really have that kind of insurance in the UK. A close relative of mine died and left me some money it cost about £7k

 

[justhoping]

aww im sorry but i guess something good came from this and that is what counts

im so sorry about ur loss and thank you for answering me

I am 42 and got pregnant naturally 3 times between 2012 and 2013. I had 2 early losses and was tested and found to have the MTHFR mutation. Third time was the charm, took aspirin as soon as I found out I was pregnant and quatrefolic acid (my body does not process folic acid because of the MTHFR) and I have had an uneventful pregnancy. I will be 43 in 11 days.

Don't give up! It can happen for you.

I am 43, turning 44 this year. I have never been pregnant, and doctors never really told me what the problem is. Newly married this year and going to see a specialist...wish me luck that he can tell me what the problem is!
