I am now 46 years old and 12 weeks pregnant - so far, so good!!
I decided to become a mother on my own, and I feel so blessed and lucky I was able to get pregnant.
I'll be 47 years old when this baby is born, and I am looking forward to my new life and new role as a mom!!
I used my own eggs along with donor sperm - this was based on the fact all my fertility tests were fairly good - Clomid to stimulate the ovaries a bit... then an Ovadril injection.
Yes, it was an IUI [Intrauterine insemination].
There's a little family medical history which may have been in my favor as well, one cousin was 48 years old when her daughter was born .
She had a normal, uneventful pregnancy, she actually thought menopause had started!!
TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
What Every Woman Should Know About Fertility and Her Biological Clockby Cara Birrittieri
-- Until now, there has been little practical advice on what women can do about ticking biological clocks.
What Every Woman Should Know About Her Biological Clock is the first book to explore a woman's reproductive lifespan completely, from beginning to end.
Based on Cara Birrittieri's own experience of running up against a slowing biological clock, she shows women for the first time how to
tell what time it iswith a simple blood test giving them a peek at the state of their ovaries.
