Pregnancy at 44 ?

[o_och]

I am a 44 yr old woman. I had a daughter when I was 41 years old.  At 43 I had two miscarriages. I'm still trying for a sibling for my daughter. I would like to hear from others who have had successful pregnancies (normal pregnancies, w/o donor eggs) at age 44 and above. Have you heard of any cases of women this age that used Clomid and were then successful?

Thanks,
Olivia

Hello all, firstly what an amazing forum, all of you women are brave and courageous.  I have 3 beautiful children, and like many of you, remarried and was wanting another child with my husband whom did not have any children.  Last year we conceived and sadly lost on Mothers Day, needless to say it was a sad and painful.  I was 42.  I tried DHEA, and damn near lost my head on that, it was not for me, hormonal train wreck, not to mention the side effects it had on my throat!!!

Anyhow now being 43 and a birthday weeks away, my husband is 46, we truly had not been thinking  about trying again.  I conceived naturally and I am 5 weeks pregnant, with all the symptoms to go with it.  I am scared, but trying to be positive.  I guess I just wanted to share my story with you and encourage you all, I am not sure what the future holds, taken the pregnancy one day at a time, one week at a time and with the grace of god will have a healthy child in March.

All the best....and be good to yourselves first.

Hi, I'm 43 yrs old and 12 weeks pregnant with my 7th child. my children ages are 24,21,19,18,and 14yr twins. I am not worried about my baby because of my age. God doesn't make mistakes or gives us more than we can bare! Best wishes to all who are over 40 and pregnant!

I am so glad I found this community....I am 44 and pg with my 3rd, due in January 2013.  I have a 26 yr old & 17 yr old sons, a 3 yr old grandaughter and a 2 yr old grandson.  I re-married 3 yrs ago and we have had 2 mc's in the past 2 years getting pg naturally.  This time we used a fertility treatment and got pg during the 3rd week.  I feel so grateful and blessed to have come across this community.  Good luck and best wishes to everyone and don't give up....I don't believe all of the experts out there who say that we (women over 40) have only a 10% down to 3% chance of getting pregnant.  If it is meant to be, it will happen even if we have to "push" mother nature along.

I am now 44 y/o.  I had decided by age 30 that I was done having children.  I had three wonderful boys & a great husband and got my tubes tied.  Biggest regret of my life.  Needless to say, my marriage ended and after 6 yrs of being divorced, I found a beautiful man to be my husband.  Although, there is a 20 yrs younger than me, we have decided that we want a child.  So here I was thinking that my chances of ever giving my husband the ultimate gift was gone, it truly is not.  There is hope for us at any age GOD willing.  Hopefully within the next year or so, we will be able to accomplish this task.  I so look forward to being pregnant again.  Thank you ladies you all are truly an inspiration in a time of need.

Hi, I'm 42 and have a boy 6 years old, if I didn't have it on my mine from my young days to have 2 childs at least, I wouldn't in this discourage situation now; when I met my 2nd husband (actually) he saids he also want a second child (he have a girl 12 years old) now he refuse to have sex the days I most fertile, or maybe just my bad luck he not "available" on these days, I very discourage with him and this situation, I cry every single month my menses appear, he not comfort me nor give me courage, I make one month on Clomid and dont know if I should make another month, I feel so bad about it; I have bad self esteem problems, he (my husband) pay his friends more mine than what he gave to me.........
