I’m 39 next month. Would love another child but need IVF. Send me your stories to give me hope that I’m not too old and it will work!

41, we tried for years had clomid and IUI but decided against IVF and when I hit 40 I decided I was too old and resigned myself to no more DC. DD was conceived naturally shortly after Smile

Had my first a couple of weeks before I turned 38 and my 2nd at 39. We were so lucky that both were conceived first month of trying.

Had my 3rd (and last) at 31. First two I was 18 & 20. I never wanted a 3rd, ofcourse I'm very happy we did. But I certainly won't be having a 4th. Not an age thing though.

SprogletsMum · 10/12/2017 19:51

27 when I had my 4th and last. Never. Again.

DavetheCat2001 · 10/12/2017 19:51

SquatBetty · 10/12/2017 19:59

First at 40 and second at 44. No more! Wish I'd had them younger tbh.

ClinkyMonkey · 10/12/2017 20:05
