41 and pregnant with twins!

hi everyone, i am 41 and 9 weeks pregnant with twins via ivf. my re transferred 3 embryos on day 5. my appointments with the re have been going well...u/s look good, and i was just released to my regular ob this week. she says everything looks good too.

but i am very nervous. i have a 3yo that was conceived via iui. we did the amnio at 14 weeks, and he is pefectly healthy.

but now, i just turned 41 and well...i am just nervous, excited, scared...and just a bundle of nerves all at the same time.

we are thinking about doing cvs at 11 weeks. havent decided yet.

guess i am just looking to hear from some other women who are over 40 and pregnant, or who had successful pregnancies over 40 using their own eggs.

just need a little support from my friends here!

Congratulations!

I'm sure you'll get some nice replies here, but there is also a forum on this same site dedicated to pregnancy for ages 15+ that you may want to check out:

I'm 34 and 6w5d pregnant with a singleton after IVF.  Saw the heartbeat earlier this week but still on all kinds of pins and needles.

Congrats again and best of luck!
