47 and trying for my second child....!!!

[keepbelieving]

Just been to the doctor today and all my blood test results are good in fact the doctor says I am fertile. I'm not menopausal, not even perimenopausal; FSH of 9.5, LSH of 6.4 Progesterone 21 days result confirms ovulation; regular cycle and I could go on and on and on....bottom line is my body is able to get pregnant but I just need a good egg. Of course I know that the quality of my eggs is questionable and to use the doctors workds even though I'm ovulating its a lottery as to whether a good egg is released. My husband believes that I will get pregnant. Oh I have a son of 21. I've read success stories of women over 40 but know that of course they are not the norm. Anyone have any experiences to share with me to keep me believing???

Im 36 this year and thinking about having no 3 baby , but keep thinking am i to old and how old i will be when child is older , does anyone els have these thoughts? and does it matter?

I know of 3 people who've had babies at 46.

Would be my biggest nightmare

Bloody hell I'm 34 with an 18 month old and am totally knackered! Wouldn't be without her but wouldn't contemplate another at my age! Very impressed with you though you put me to shame!!!
GOOD LUCK xxxxxx

This thread is giving me hope!

More power to your elbow Keepbelieving ... !

any news?

Nogin, I'm like you, 37, turning 38 this year, contemplating a third. I was feeling a bit too old to maybe be thinking about it, but this discussion makes me feel a lot better
Good luck to everyone thinking about or wanting to add to their families

I had my first child, 2 months before I was 35. I now have 4! I have been trying for one more but have had 2 m/c's in the last 10 months. I am nearly 43 and was worrying about my age, thanks to you lovely ladies I know there's a good chance that I will get my last beany!

It's going back a bit but my great grandmother was 47 when she had my grandma. Good luck to you!

Hi. I'm 47 with 4 children. I gave birth to them at the ages of 30,32,35 and 46. All natural, unaided conceptions and births. My husband and I are keeping our minds open to a 5th even at the age of 47. My doctor says my numbers look great, my periods are regular and the last pregnancy was no more difficult than the first. All healthy babies. Good luck!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm 44 next week and was thinking about giving up TTC after 2 MC's this year.

This thread has shown me that there could be life in this old dog after all -
