Odds of Pregnancy at Age 47?
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 sorry for all you have lost in the past. Look at this child as a blessing and a miracle. Don't be afraid,trust in God!! Best wishes!!
I am 46, five years ago my only natural born son had an accident and was in a coma for two weeks when he was pronounced brain dead at age 23. He was my only child (I have 3 stepdaughters) so I was devastated. His accident was Jan 12.
One of his female friends who claimed he was the father went into labor and had a little boy Jan 13. She was not sure if he was the father, but he was aware of the possibility he even had a copy of the sonogram. When my grandson was born I left my sons side to go to the maternity ward to see him, at the time I believed my son would recover and handle the whole situation. When he died my grandson wasn't my first concern I was too depressed to reach out until she called trying to find a way of getting the DNA test. The county coroner took forever to get the DNA sample to DNA diagnostic center. In the meantime I found out I had breast cancer.
I had been on depo-provera for years and had to stop my injections, I had a lumpectomy and radiation. After my treatment was over I was rushed to the hospital, bleeding heavily, but thinking I was having kidney stones. I was told it was an eptopic pregnancy. I was heartbroken but relieved due to all that radiation no telling what could have been wrong.
When my grandson turned 3 I knew something was wrong he would spend every weekend with me and we shared holidays and took him on vacation every since he was 2 mos old. He started crying not to go home and then she started stripping (I didn't judge, just this was no upper class strip joint). Children services contacted me while he just so happen to be with me she was in psych ward suicidal/homicidal and to my total surprise she was heroin addict. I got full custody of him and he is a joy.
Now, I thought I was having pre-menopausal symptoms, but come to find out I am pregnant. My grandson is 5 and now having a newborn at 46 or I will be 47 when this baby is born, I am so confused. I am pro-choice, I would not be able to terminate a pregnancy unless the test come back abnormal. Still I am so scared a grandson and a child. Worst part is my husbands girls are now all 18 and over, so I am not feeling any support from him. His only comment was he feels our grandson would suffer neglect because I would give more attention to the baby. I know this would never happen. I love my grandson unconditionally. Help, Advice, Support, Someone?????

So happy to hear your good news!! I went to a clinic located in Gujarat India.the doctor is a female and well known. I trust her expertise as she does a lot of IVF's. Just met a woman there getting same thing as me,and she got pregnant.I guess just bad luck. But no there were eight extracted embryos,from those only six became fertilized. At two days,four of them were four cells,one three cells,and one two cells. Other ladies getting transfers too told me that their embryos at two days had more cells,so I don't know if that had to do anything with the fail transfer. Yes even if this process is in India it becomes expensive because the flight,procedure,hotel,and everything else.The doctor has sent me a message to repeat it again,but I want to give myself a break not only to save some money but i do not have time as I have to take time off from work.
Best wishes to you.Think positive and I am sure things will be fine with your pregnancy!! Best wishes to you and your husband!!

I am 45.5 and I am still trying to get pregnant. But I went to fertility clinic and the doctor told me that I have old eggs and the possibility is about 1% to get pregnant. And in year 2011 there were zero babies born to 46 year age. So I don't have a lot of hopes, but trying.
Hi agian babynow2012 I read your post again and noticed the embryoes were 6 x 2 day embryos. Just wondered where you went for the IVF what clinic?
