I'm pregnant - at 39!

[Babushka]

I'm 8 weeks pregnant with my first at 39 years of age

The only thing that I changed was that I drastically reduced my alcohol consumption... I had only 4 glasses of wine in 6 weeks rather than the usual 20-25 glasses Guess our bodies are a lot more delicate as we age!

Anyway, I just wanted to share my good news and give you some hope.

Good luck

Super! Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy.

Like so many others, hoping I get similar news soon. Got pregnant after our first calculated attempt in February (aged 40). All seemed far too easy and indeed it was: miscarried at nine weeks. Sigh. Working to get cycle back on track now to try again.

Good luck to everyone!

Thanks girls. I got my HCG results back last night and they were over 200,000 at 8 weeks which is apparently a good sign that everything is going well.

We were "not trying/not preventing" for about 9 months. I honestly didn't think it would happen because of my age (although I feel about 30), also my partner is 44 so he is no spring chicken either!

Smurfy, we weren't using any predictors - just having sex when I was in the mood which must have been at the right time

I do recommend to cut out binge drinking for those who partake and limit yourself to 2 glasses a week maximum because I honestly believe this is what made the difference for us this time.

Congrats!! I'm 39 too and just got my BFP a week and a half ago. I had a chemical pregnancy in June & since July I've been getting acupuncture from an acupuncturist who specializes in fertility~ I think that made a big difference for me. I feel my body is more prepared this time around.
