My sister gave birth to her 1st at 46

My sister gave birth to her first child a month before she turned 46, several years after she first entered peri-menopause, and when they were not trying.

I had a child at 43 (my first), and tried an IVF [in vitro fertilization] that failed. I found an acupuncturist who specializes in infertility, and after six months of weekly acupuncture, herbs and lifestyle changes - I was pregnant. If you can find someone in your area, it is worth a try!

My name is Nancy, I haven't posted on here in a while, but I will be 47 in July and my daughter is due in late August. I'm starting my 24th week.

I am single, and decided to have a child for many reasons...... I conceived on 11/28/06 using my own eggs with donor sperm - this was simply an IUI [Intrauterine Insemination], so the doc just put the little swimmers "up there" at the time of ovulation, and it took!!

I'm thankful everyday for this miracle. I'm very excited, and definitely a bit nervous as well.

I have high FSH [follicle stimulating hormone] , don't know the exact number, and have been TTC [trying to conceive] for 4 months with a BFN [big fat negative - negative pregnancy test] .

I was BPF [big fat positive - postive pregnancy test] at 44, and had our first child at 45, so it is possible, have faith! We are trying for one more.

I got pregnant naturally at 45 and 46. We didn't do anything special to conceive. I know that, at the time, I never doubted that it was possible. Try not to worry.
