Two months & half weeks pregnant at 47

Catherine McDiarmid-Watt | Sunday, December 20, 2009 | 0 comments

Hi, I just got married 11 months ago, turned 47 one month ago and had a miscarriage also a month ago. My doctor stated I was too old and my eggs were too old to conceive but yet I did to his, his colleagues and supervisor amazement.

I was two months and half weeks pregnant and yet my doctor did not believe me. He stated, "Oh, you are probably going through menopause." But when he ordered labs on me, it was confirmed. It shocked the hell out of him.

When I had the miscarriage, he told me to keep trying and I proved every one wrong. Listen, only God knows and he decides all. Keep trying because I am. Good Luck to all!

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.
