She will be 45 when she has this baby

Image: Newborn Hand, by Helene Mejza on PixabayA woman I know from another board just got her BFP [big fat positive - pregnancy test] from a minimum stimulation IVF [in vitro fertilization] cycle with Dr. Zhang (the same guy I just starting seeing myself).

This will be her first child!!!

She is 44 years old and will be 45 years old in a couple of months.

Her FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] was 6.5 and E2 [Estrogen] was 112 (which of course means her FSH was actually higher), and she still BEAT the odds!!!

She has been trying naturally for a long time.

She transferred two, two-day embies, and did Clomid only for six days I believe (from CD4 - CD10).

I am so excited I can barely stand it... (especially since I am also working with this same doctor!!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just found out I am pregnant.

I am 43 years old, I will be 44 years old when I have this baby.

I already have three kids - 24, 22, and eight years old.

This was NOT at all planned.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have plenty of personal examples of women conceiving naturally over 40:

- my mother had me when she was 40 years old,
- my aunt had three kids after turning 40 years old,
- my grandma had her last child when she was almost 46 years old... all naturally.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My doctor has had success using the estrogen priming protocol, a similar protocol Patti was recently successful with at 44 years old.

(Yeah Patti!!).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is true for some women, but not true for others.

Some women get pregnant easily in their mid-40s.

Sorry, but it is just the truth.

Do you think my aunt told a lie when she had her baby at 45 years old?

Do you think she just pushed a big pillow under her clothing and lied to everyone about being pregnant?

No, her pregnancy was for real.

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 our 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 there will be no more babies in our house.
