TTC with Clomid age 42

[68degreesnorth]

Anyone been 40+ before starting the clomid journey?

I'm about to take my first pill later today, and am wondering if anyone has ever had any success at my age? I look younger than my years but that doesn't help my ovaries does it :-)

Would love to hear from anyone who has had any success!

Bump. Anyone?

Hi

Yes, me!

See my post from earlier today:

"Hello ladies,

Just wanted to share this with anyone struggling to get pregnant. I got my first natural period (no contraception induced bleed) aged 36. And since then periods were only every blue moon. Had 2 rounds of Clomid aged 41, but due to illness I couldn't continue. I'm now 44 and in the last few months I had been struggling immensely with constipation and bloating etc, and a rapidly expanding waistline. I'm a slim size 8, and though the bump was getting more and more pronounced the thought that I was pregnant was simply too far fetched to even consider.

It wasn't until I decided I should see a doctor in case it's a cyst that I took a pregnancy test - something I did only because I knew the first question would be 'could you be pregnant?'. So I did... and oh my... two stripes... I had to sit down for half an hour to absorb it all. I struggled to believe it was true, maybe a false positive? So I took another one the following day. Again two stripes.

That was 2 weeks ago. I've now had my first scan and I'm 17 weeks pregnant!!

Never in a million years would I have thought this was possible... but clearly it is.

🪄💫👶🏼🤎"

Anything you want to know, just send me a message. I had a terrible time with Clomid, but im absolutely 100% sure it was still in my system allowing me to get naturally pregnant in the end.

Omg what a great story congratulations, there's hope for me yet I'm 38 ttc num 1. With 4 miscarriages and 1 cp I'm praying I have an outcome like yours one day.

Don't give up hope!

I had put all dreams of having a baby behind me at this age. I created quite a scene at the maternity department for my first scan - they all thought it was incredible - had to tell the story several times. I don't think they'll forget me any time soon.

If I can get pregnant, anyone can!
