Pregnant naturally at 46 - after being told I could not conceive using my own eggs

I'm 5 weeks pregnant naturally at 46 and am trying to keep sane.
I was the same with my DS who is now nearly 3 (had him at 43, geriatric Mom for both)

My wife and I used a well known sperm donation website on both occasions, the first took 7 attempts using AI, this time it was 6. We are cautiously optimistic all will be fine, but will know more at the 7 week early scan.
This is all after a failed IVF 4 years ago, and being put on the donor egg waiting list as I was told I was unable to conceive using my own eggs! Don't always believe what you are told.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
WELL DONE!!
I'M A FEW DAYS AWAY FROM MY 45TH BIRTHDAY AND I'M STILL HOPING THAT ONE DAY I'LL CONCEIVE. Sadly, my 'DH' has just left me so i guess it'll never happen now.

Keep well. Hope the 7 week scan is all good.

Well I used a spem donor website if that helps...but perhaps you want to share this journey with a partner?
I just took lots of vitamins (ubiquinol) and changed my lifestyle completely, not that is a guarantee to success mind you!
