Where are all my woman over 40?
Ok was just wondering where we all went. I'm still trying to conceive and I'm 44....still not sure how I'm going to get PG. I have my TR date, Sept. 17th. I also called Shady Grove( thanks Mel, u know who u are! Lol) maybe the donor shared risk program, for any of you out there, I have researched donor eggs, really crazy expensive, but Shady Grove has a program that includeds meds, donor fees, you share the donor with 2 other couples, 1 try is 14,000.00 and no refund, but 29,000.00 for 6 fresh tries and unlimited frozen and its100% back if u don't bring home a baby...Super Sticky baby Dust to All Of Us

Alexis....Thank you for you story...it gives all of us so much hope.
I have been trying for the last 3 years and consulated a fertility specialist over a year ago. I have had 2 failed IUIs and 4 failed IVFs. Like most of you, I am doing acupuncture and believe it does wonders.
I am taking a 2-3 month break before my next IVF just because I needed to find myself again. I got completely lost in my obsession to get pregnant and was reaching a point when I considered myself depressed. I didn't have anything else to look forward to and felt like a real failure. I needed to take a break and take a few steps back to look at the whole picture again.
Now, as I approach my next attempt, I feel like a different person. I feel more positive and more in control of my thoughts and my feelings. I was wrong to obsess and to try so hard. I know it is beyond our control and it a natural reaction, after so many attempts and so many failures....but it is an awful place to be in. I am sure most of you can relate to this...feeling alienated and so "inward".........
I agree that one of the key is to stay positive and to continue to believe. A book I read stated, when your mind believe you can get pregnant, you body follows. I read or hear of miracles almost everyday, but stopped believeing it could happen to me.
Now, I have put aside all of my books, and vitamins and supplements. I am only on DHEA, Omega 3 and Folic Acid. I eat healthy but no longer obsess. This is the only forum I go to. I exercise because I enjoy it. My husband and I have found romance in our life again, and the passion is back in our lives. When I look in the mirror, I see my old self. I feel young (and sexy!) again! Yes!!!! Not the same person who felt her body was old, her eggs were old etc etc etc....I find myself laughing more...the first few times...I was quite surprised to hear myself laugh...it seems such a long time ago that I felt true happiness...and it's a nice to feel it again.
Everything happens for a reason...and I believe it's just a matter of time before I get pregnant, and get to have a healthy pregnancy....I feel blessed to have a wonderful husband who was always there for me, and wonderful people in my life who kept me strong. You guys continue to motivate and inspire me....
Thanks to all of you for your positive posts...and to those who are struggling, hang in there.....believe that it can happen to you. Try to find the right balance in your life, as I believe its the key.....sometimes letting go (of worries, control, thoughts etc)...is the key...
Sending SSBD to all of you......
