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?

The only 99% successful way of having a baby over the age of 45 is to consider donor Ivf.   We now have a 1 month old baby boy with my wife age 48. Try contacting this company UKCFA. They have a good success rate.

I am 48 with a 5 year old and a 19 year old, and Im struggling with the idea of having another baby, everything seems to be working well Im just worried about being the age I am.  Even though I feel like it is a positive good thing to do!

My partner is keen to let it happen if it is what I want, Im just unsure with the whole age issue, my body's health for the delivery etc, do you know of any resources or information about these topics?  

I was so happy to read your post, Mumof3lovelyboys, as I have felt so isolated with this problem as all my friends think Im crazy or I am too shy to talk with them about this.

I thank God for your post, it really encouraged me. I plan on ordering that book to help increase my faith. Just this Sunday at Church I was on the Altar & God showed me a vision of me being pregnant. My 5 year old god-daughter (who is a prophet) told me a month or so ago it's time for me to have a baby. I TOTALLY BELIEVE GOD!!!
