Just to let you know I am now 18 weeks pregnant. I have lots of aches and pains, but not surprising as I had a few back problems before I got pregnant. Plus I am HUGE. Next scan is 20 weeks on the 12th.
Keep all fingers crossed for me. I need all the luck I can get at my age (47). This is my miracle baby, my last try. I am really trying my best to keep myself well and healthy.

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.

I'm crossing my toes and fingers.
I am 46, soon to be 47, and have a naturally-conceived son, who is 6.
I should have guessed that I needed help. Didn't.
Great results at the egg retrieval (some clinic record, similar to winning the senior division of a marathon) and just waiting to find out if any eggs "take" at my pregnancy test on 3/15.
Question: any problems getting the go-ahead from insurance? I had mine at the 11th hour. I'm told that egg retrieval reimbursement will come only if I can show all those meetings with OB-GYN were more invasive than going over my charts. Like a run of IVG but not the HSG I had.
I ran into varying degrees of ageism. The accounts payable person was phenomenally bad -- got on the phone with a rep who only talks to physicians and kept saying, "But she's NOT 45." Oh, said that about 3 times. The rep was fine.
Ever heard of this? When I was 40, Cigna refused the amnio but I convinced them it was either pay now or after the birth.
