Pregnant at 40
Ho everyone! Just wanted to give some hope to all +35ers! My first pregnancy took me 11 months to conceive and took HCG shots with no result-then tried wth femara and got pregnant-this was 7 mths ago....I am now naturally pregnant the second time!!!All goes to say that there is always hope and no matter what people tell you...don't give up!!!! :)
Hey! Thank you so much for your message! I wish you luck, and I'm 100% sure you'll be fine and won't miscarry! I totally agree about the fact that there is a time for everyone.My life ( like I guess everyone else's )has really been ups and downs, but I never gave up on anything, although at times you really feel like nothing will turn out the right way...don't ever give up, I know way too many people who had given up and ended up with a sweetheart!My first pregnancy took me almost a year. I went through tests to see if there was something wrong and in the end it really was probably only due to stress(that it was taking so long).In fact, the second time around i got pregnant naturally...So, you're YOUNG! Already have two kids, and soon will have a third! : ) Lots and lots of ssbd, and keep me posted ;)
Congratulations Billie! Glad to read this.
I'm 38! Have two teenagers. 15 & 17
I've had one abortion prior to live births.
One m/c prior to live births.
Two m/cs about 10 years after live births.
My husband and I didn't try to prevent pregnancy but once we realized we weren't conceiving, we decided to chart and after a year or no success, we sought professional help.
Used chlomid, AI and progesterone. M/C at 10 weeks. (36 yrs old)
We attempted to do it natural ever since.
Finally we kept progesterone supp on hand for the just in case I feel pregnant again day. =)
Been on it for 13 days. Took two pregnancy tests, one was a super faint positive but the next one was a negative. So took a blood test on Friday. Waiting on test results either today or tomorrow. But...I feel more and more pregnant each day. Crossing our fingers.
I believe there is a time for everybody. I think we just may have been too stressed and maybe even low on progesterone due to an ovarian cyst I've had for 4 years. =/
Good luck to all of you ttc and again...Congratulations to you Billy!!

There are some incredible clinics out there one of which is in Barcellona ( Spain) ...I don't know your medical history but don't give up, and in the end a baby's a baby whether it's your own eggs or a donor's ...all that matters is the love given and received... : )
