getting pregnant over 40

Trying TTC after miscarriage in January. Anybody over 40 TCC or pregnant naturally???? Am I too old to keep trying??

Hello, just wanted to know how the pregnancy went for some of you that may be 40 or over such as myself. The doctor has warned me of possible pre-clampsia and possible premature labor but I wanted to hear some of your stories and your experiences of those of you that have gone through it and lived it. And if possible, any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated!

Hi...I'm 42 and will be 43 in June. I think the dismal things you've read are fairly accurate when you are over 40 and trying to get pregnant. I am basing this on my personal experience. I can get pregnant pretty easily but because my eggs are so "old", I keep miscarrying. NOt to mention the risk for downs syndrome is very high like 1 in 60 for my age. I've gotten pregnant 5 times and each and everyone was a miscarriage...most like because of my age.

The famous women over 43 getting pregnant, particularly with twins, are likely using donor eggs.) At age 44, you really, really have no time to waste trying a variety of approaches suggested by non-physicians, so if you really want a baby, I hope you will move fast and see a specialist! (Sorry to be negative about your chances, but I wish I'd been told how quickly fertility diminishes in one's mid-40s at an earlier point!

From the reading I've done, it seems like the IVF success rate for women over 40 is low. I just finished Lupron and I'm starting the stimulation phase. Can anyone over 40 share some success with IVF?

Is anyone else over 40 and are trying to get pregnant, but can't.! And you just feel devastated, because you try and try and nothing... And DH sometimes just to tried to even try when you want him too. I've been trying for 6 months now and still nothing.. Had a MC last year in August. Trying for baby #3 my oldest son is 14 and my youngest daughter is 13 .. Just wanted to know if anyone else is trying but can't.

Hey. I am 44 and have had 3 miscarriages after getting pregnant naturally those 3 times in the last 7 months. All my tests for women with recurring miscarriages are good. Has anyone over 40 been successful after IVF with PGD?

I'm 40 weeks today and hoping for labour!! I'm hoping the full moon helps me too! lol and a thunderstorm today!

Thank you. I am excited. I had my first at 40 and wasn't going to have another. It took 20 years to get pregnant with him. Good luck to you and thank you for the support.

You go girl! I'm over 40 and am 15 weeks pregnant with twins using donor eggs. We spent about 4 years trying with my own eggs to no avail. You increase your odds with the younger donor eggs, as older women with older eggs have a higher miscarriage rate. It's the best thing we ever did. Do your homework though...check with the CDC regarding the donor egg facilities.

Did you become pregnant naturally?.

Thank you ladies! I appreciate the input. I wondered about that primrose oil. I've been hearing about it. I wish I could go to hospital and say something is wrong so they'll induce me. I'm only 5 foot tall my frame is sooo small so in turn I'm super uncomfortable. I'm sooo tired Idk what to do. At least when baby comes I can sleep when she sleeps.

The dr said I would be pregnant in six months. Well I got pregnant 3/05 and had a mc on 5/05. Then I tried for another 2 yrs when I got pregnant again 2/07 then had another mc 4/07. They lower my metformin to 500mg per day. Since then I left my fiance and have started a new relationship (9months now). We have been trying for about 7 months. So in the beginning of August I went back to a OBGYN and told them I want to get pregnant.

hi all, is anyone over 40 and tried IVF and eggs not worked now trying donor eggs and got pregnant?

There is a post in the group TTC over 40 titled "Where are all my woman over 40?" and in that post (which is really long) a woman named Sherri90043 (I think - but it is not hard to miss her post...) writes about things that she has done with TTC and that some of it has assisted her in removing her endo... I have learned about a number of natural things that women can do to assist in helping with the medical issues around fertility...

t dilate past 3.5cm . So I had a csection . I was sooo over being pregnant when I hit 39-40 weeks lmao .

My doctor said nothing will start labor some stuff will help speed up labor once it has started. Im just so over being pregnant.
