Delivering next week age 44, with my own egg

Delivering next week age 44: I have a 20 year old and a 17 year old. It's been a long time since I've had children. I had my tubes tied and did IVF. I was able to conceive with my own egg, however the last attempt I only had 4 eggs transferred at day three with ICSI that took.

Update: I had a bleeding episode on Monday morning and has to go to the emergency room and had a c-section Monday. Alyna weighed 3 lbs 11 oz at birth and currently weighs 3lbs 6 ozs. She is beautiful.

I will tell you that my best friend's mom had her at 42 (she's the first) and twins at 45 (45 years ago, obviously she had no help)

Also, my grandmother had my mom (an only child) at 42 and she was epileptic. So it does happen...

At least I know 2 people who naturally conceived at the age of 49 and 50.

A good friend of mine was 48 when she had her little girl! One girl and nine boys.

By the way I was told my eggs were showing age and my chances of getting pregnant were slim. Baby [is] 1 month old yesterday! I did use progesterone cream, over the counter, then vaginally as soon as I knew I was pregnant until 13 weeks pregnant. I [tend] to run low numbers. - Dana

I am 46 years old, will be 47 when baby arrives, and just found out I am expecting #14 a few weeks ago. I thought I was done and was struggling thinking I would never have another baby again. I was doing the pre menopausal thing, skipping periods, weird periods you name it. Also my youngest is almost 3 years old and I have never gone that long and not been pregnant. So surprise, surprise here I am and loving it. - Laurie
