TTCing again at 44

Debra, 44, Cumbria, UK
Just wanted to report (a little late albeit) that I gave birth after a natural conception on 20.09.05 to a 8lb 13 oz baby boy named Ben.

I had already started injections for down regulating my ovaries to have donor egg treatment! On my second baseline scan, 2 weeks before treatment was scheduled I was told that I had a fetal pole and a sac but no heartbeat.

I went back to my local hospital for a scan 1 week later to be told that there was a heartbeat. So after being told that my own fertility had ended by 2 IVF specialists I had conceived with a FSH of 27.8. So I wanted to give some hope to those women with elevated FSH. We all have a few good eggs left!

I’m now TTCing again at 44 (my birthday today) I’m using the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor and had a LH surge and ovulation pain 4 days ago, so I’ll keep you posted.

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.
