I'm 45 and my husband is 52. We have a 13 month old IVF [in vitro fertilization] baby, and figured our fertility days were over (my age, his male factor)
Surprise, I am naturally pregnant. It took me 2 weeks after my period was missing to even contemplate the possibility. Didn't believe the HPT [home pregnancy test], but the blood-work and ultrasound don't lie.
Must have been a beautiful egg and determined swimmer to pull this off. Won't my RE [reproductive endocrinologist] be surprised?

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
