Hi, anyone over 45 TTC?

[plumber43]

Hi, I will be 45 in June,I started a forum for us closer to 45 than 40. It just seems like being 40 is so different than being 45 when it comes to TTC. I'm not abandoning my TTC over 40, because without you I could not have gone through this. I love all of you, I would no absolutely nothing!
Love and SSBD

cd3 test results are not great.
FSH = 7.2
Estradiol = 107 (too high)

I'm hoping the high estradiol is due to a cyst from last months femara and not ovarian reserve issues.  No meds this cycle and hopefully all will be better.

Bernadette - a huge congratulations to you!!  Wow!  Gives the rest of us a bit of hope!  I really hope all goes well and please keep us posted.

Mali000 - We all wish you the best of luck on this journey and welcome to our group!  I've heard that natural ivf seems to work better for older women anyway.  Maybe the little eggies just don't do as well when they are forced out as opposed to a bit of coaxing :-)  makes sense since I know I have become more stubborn in my older age!  Hahaha.

Mel - good god... please let's hear some good news from you tomorrow.  If not, well press on and look forward to that sweet little one just waiting in the refrigerator for your nice warm womb :-)  :You will truly be blessed!


Just did another $ store hpt myself - disected it, got out the magnifying glass, bright light... twisted it and turnded it every which way.... YOU KNOW THE DRILL!  Still a bfn at any angle!!  Thank god for the $ store or I would be broke!

Good luck to all of us!!

Hi, I'm 45 and have been trying for 2 years. I'm a poor responder to stims and now doing natural ivf. It has been very frustrating but still hopeful. My DH is also not there yet for donor eggs. It took me a while but we decided to give a few more tries before going that route. So happy to hear someone who is 45 got prego Best wishes and good luck to all.

I'm glad : I guess I was passing you all my frustrations of trying to have a baby at our age. The odds are so low. I'm happy for Bernadette but she is one in who knows how many.
I wish you all the luck in the world.
My DD is now OK. She freaked out with the idea of me being pregnant because she was afraid of how her life would change. But she is 16, lives away and her life is all set. I will always support her no matter what. I have support her all her life anyways because her dad left when she was three and has not being in her life at all. She has told some of her good friends and one of the mothers came to me saying that my DD was very happy for me:), which is nice! She will melt the minute she meets them anyways. She has always love kids, it's funny, she really likes kids.

I am 45 and conceived naturally last month.  We go for an ultrasound on March 3.  Can't wait.  I have had 3 miscarriages - the last one was back in 1999 - no live births.  We had an ultrasound a couple weeks ago when i thought i was 8 weeks - but the tech said i was only meausuring 5.5 weeks - but we did see a heartbeat - so that is a good sign.  (First time any of my pregancies showed a heartbeat)   :)   I could potentially be off on the date of my LMP as we werent trying to get pregnant so i wasnt really paying much attention to when my periods were.  Hopefully we will still see a heartbeat on Thursday and the baby will have grown.  Every time i get a cramp or a twinge in my belly ... i panic ... wondering if those are normal pangs.  Everytime i go to the bathroom i just about hold my breath.  I just need to have faith.  My last HCG was 18,492 -- wish it had been higher.  Will let all of you know how it goes on Thursday.

Hi Mariana, my DH isn't against donor eggs, we just can't afford it, we just spent over $25,000.00 just last year alone. He has since accepted the idea of donor embryos. Not bio to either of us. We know someone who has two frozen embies and is ot going to use them and would like us to have them, he was a little freaked out at first but now he is so sweet and agreed. We are going to try until June, my 45th birthday. My beta is Monday. How are you feeling? How is your DD adjusting to the idea of twins?
Hugs,
Melanie
