Odds of Pregnancy at Age 47?

[Lindy450]

Hi

I'm already a whole week late, with subtle signs of pregnancy.  I just turned 47 and was planning on tying my tubes here in the the next month or so -- and now this?  I can't even find out what the odds of a natural pregnancy at my age are.  Some very definite changes from my "routine" cycle.  I've got some nausea, tender breasts and one negative pregnancy test.  But with my youngest son, my home pregnancy test also turned out negative, even though I was pregnant.  It just seems ridiculous to be pregnant -- we weren't even trying  and my husband didn't even have an orgasm -- he limped out during that encounter (around my birthday).  So it seems kind of like a joke.  I'm about ready to try a test again -- still no period and almost 2 weeks late now.  I keep reading how it's almost impossible at my age to get pregnant naturally.  Any comments?

I am 49 years old on June 6th, I have 4 children aged 27, 23, 6 and 3 and they were all concieved naturally. I believe that if you eat healthy, exercise and live a healthy life then it is possible to have children later in life. I just want to wish everyone the best of luck. I did miscarry 3 babies between my last  two children but I never gave up and my little Poppy Blue is a gift from god. Good luck everyone xx

Please get checked ASAP for ovarian cancer.  You have many symptoms of this disease.  Please do not delay for even one day.

Hello.  I'm 45 & just started dating a man who is 35 & whom I've known for 3 yrs.  Both of us were just recently separated from our spouses & we feel we are suppose to be together.  We've both said that we are it for each other.  Our feelings are really strong.  He has 2 children, 7 & 2, but I have none.  He told me in the beginning of our relationship that he really wants a child with me.  He's had that feeling for a long time & I really feel the same about him.  I really believe that it was meant to be for us to get together & thinking about having a child with him is the greatest feeling.  He is the primary caregiver of his 2 children.  We just decided on this & hope it works.  I can relate to you & your situation in many ways.  Hope all goes well with you.
