Pregnancy Stories By Age

Please don't ever let any one tell you you're too old, not even your mum.

Don't let anyone deter you from your dream, especially since it is entirely possible, not at all unrealistic, and is brought forth by love and affection.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:

Inconceivable: Winning the Fertility Game
-- One in six couples in America will experience reproductive problems. Julia Indichova and her husband were part of that statistic.

According to several fertility specialists Julia's high FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) level was an indication that her body was no longer producing fertilizable eggs.

Her only chance of conceiving, they said, was in-vitro-fertilization with a donor egg.

After a futile quest for a more hopeful prognosis, Julia searched through a variety of holistic alternatives and finally decided upon a personal healing regimen.

She followed it as single-mindedly , as one would follow a doctor's prescription of antibiotics.

Her daughter Adira was conceived naturally, eight months later, and was born on April 29, 1994.

Grade A Baby Eggs; An In-fertility Memoir
-- Victoria Hopewell was a forty-something divorced clinical psychologist when she met and married a longtime bachelor whose ninety-year-old parents were anxiously waiting for a grandchild. Problem was, even though Victoria had two young daughters from a previous marriage, her intense desire to create a baby with her new husband was thwarted by her own body.

Her eggs were aging faster than her healthy hormones and youthful appearance would suppose. Desperate to bear a child, willing to undergo every procedure from Lupron shots through egg harvesting and in vitro fertilization (IVF), she is blocked at every corner of medical protocol from achieving her dream of a successful pregnancy.

Finally she journeys toward acceptance of using a donor egg, much to the dismay of her growing daughters. But no eggs are available, and she is placed on a lengthy hospital wait-list. Victoria and her husband then embark on a surrealistic egg hunt to find their own donor.

Follow her insider's account of the hidden world of egg donation-where women's eggs are bought and sold over the internet and a beautiful model with high SATs and a prior successful donation commands the highest prices.

He has helped a 48 year old conceive and give birth using her own eggs a few months ago.

And he has another patient who is 45 and had 9 or more losses.

She is now 38 weeks pregnant with her first baby.

A Few Good Eggs: Two Chicks Dish on Overcoming the Insanity of In-fertility
-- We are bombarded by images of blissful older mothers, such as Madonna and Celine Dion. But 'Hollywood' articles about pregnancy and fertility at middle age gloss over the tremendous amount of financial, emotional, and physical effort faced by couples struggling to conceive.

Ranges from technical to humorous and everything in between. What are good, snappy comebacks to the question, 'Why aren't you pregnant?' What is the difference between gonadotrophin releasing hormone and progesterone? Should you freeze your eggs?

These questions and many more are answered, and in the tone of a couple of good friends. Between them, the authors have gone through hormone treatments, pregnancy losses and multiple inseminations -- so they know firsthand the rollercoaster ride of trying to achieve pregnancy.

There's a great story in the Randine Lewis book, The Infertility Cure about a woman who married at 41, went through NINE (9) Count them! IVFs.

She finally went to see Dr. Lewis, who prescribed dietary changes, herbs and acupuncture.

In 3 months (I think) she had IVF for the 10th time, got pregnant and delivered at 46... so, the odds are good!

In Lewis's experience, women who have undergone three to six months of the dietary changes, herbs and acupuncture treatments become pregnant with no further effort.

Lewis intersperses her somewhat technical examination of the program with anecdotes about her patients, weaving in discussions on diet, herbal supplements, acupuncture, older women and problems related to in-fertility.
