Praying and Hoping over 40 👶

I’m so sorry to hear this news @wholeeverything I hope you are doing OK. Please take care of yourself 💐

Unfortunately we've lost our pregnancy for this time. Baby measuring 6 weeks at 8 week scan. No bleeding yet but just a waiting game really. I had convinced myself I'd feel better knowing I can at least conceive, but that hasn't kicked in yet. Sorry to be the bearer of negative news. Maybe others have more positive stories to share.

Hello everyone! I recognise some names from previous threads. Thought I’d hop on this one :)
Congratulations @wholeeverything ! Really happy to hear about your pregnancy
I’m 41 and we’ve been trying for number 2 for just over a year. We are planning to try IVF but things are moving quite slowly. My AMH isn’t great, even for my age (4) but I had a scan yesterday and everything looked OK
Hope everyone is doing well :)

@VioIetMoon did you end up conceiving with ivf?
I feel exactly the same I don’t know whether to count this as one period or what!
im still spotting pink/brown discharge and im cd15 now. Dont know if I’ve ovulated or not as temp been up since day 8 🤷🏼‍♀️

I am having such a weird cycle just now
i keep testing and negative.

period started on time and temp was down about 4 days prior (which was unusual for me as it usually drops on day 1)

period was fairly light and stopped by day 4.
day 6 and it came back for 1 day
day 8 my temps rise right above cover line and are up day 9 and 10
day 9 and 10 and period came back with cramps and brown blood (proper blood not discharge) I had this exact blood and cramps when pregnant with my son so I tested again and negative.

so I’m day 10 today and light brown blood

so it’s a weird cycle and I really hope this isn’t the start of peri 😖😖

I have been text book predictable with my cycles for past 3 years so this is so strange

Hello! Just to add here that I got pregnant through ivf - I have a female partner - at 43. Our DD is now 2.5 years and I’m 46. We have 7 frozen embryos stored and have been going backwards and forwards on whether to try again. I’d try again in a flash if we were younger. and I THINK we will, but I do have anxieties about my age - not so much now, I generally feel fine and our sleep has pretty much returned to normal, but more so (if if were to work) that the child would be a young teenager in our early 60s. So tough! Good luck to everyone! X

I finally met ds' dad when I was 42. We weren't trying for a baby, I'd lost 1.5 ovaries and a tube during earlier gynae issues, so had long given up. The surgeon thought he'd left just enough ovary to keep me out of the menopause for a few more years.
Then started feeling very tired at 44y4m, went to the gp thinking my thyroid was playing up, and ds popped up on the ultrasound. A bit of a shock.
Ds arrived full-term when I was 45y2m. He was 8lb, all good,and is just finishing his a'levels this year. 😊
Eat healthily, stay away from alcohol, take your folic acid and have lots of fun. Good luck OP.

I’m cd3 today 🙁

Aw @TheFutureIs it’s not me I wish it was!! It was @wholeeverything thats got a bfp this week

and so sorry for your loss @Littlebuzz 💕

I’m so sorry to hear that @Littlebuzzbe kind to yourself.
Congratulations @Pinkponyclub26
I’m out this month as my period has finally decided to show up on day 34 of my cycle. So we go again!

Congratulations, fingers crossed for you 🤞

Unfortunately we had a loss this week. Trying to stay positive.

congratulations @wholeeverything that's amazing ❤️

Hi guys, just an update to say I got my first BFP this morning. Trying to keep emotions in check but delighted. I just wanted to share because other people's stories have really kept me going. We're trying 18 months, I'm 41 with everything except age looking OK, but no luck to date. Thanks for the positive support over the months. Fingers crossed

Got my home AMH level results back today. Apparently decent for my age so Thats given me some hope

I've had a positive test this week after 7 cycles.
I'm so excited and also so nervous - I know the stats aren't good at 44.

Congrats to OP.

@VioIetMoon congrats!!
im still trying - almost 3 years now 😖

@VioIetMoon such lovely news, congratulations. Having also had three losses, 2 miscarriages and a TFMR last December, I can only imagine how terrifying it must have been to make it to this point. Wishing you the most boring of pregnancies from here on out.

Hello to everyone else, hoping to hear some more good news stories too. As for me, I've just turned 43, seem to conceive pretty easily but lost the first two at 8 weeks and then the last one at 16. Hoping that there may still be some healthy eggs lingering and going to keep trying until the end of the year. All the best x

Oh that’s great news congratulations!! 🙌🏽 do you mind me asking how long it took you?

im one year on now and sadly still no luck 😢 we haven’t been able to ttc the last two months as my partner had a little op. So we will be getting back on track this cycle. Hoping for a sticky bean 🙏🏽
