Hi I'm new. Is there anyone here doing ivf and is 40 yrs. or older? I did my first cycle in Dec. The pregnancy test was negative. I'm on my second try now. Hopefully i'll do retrieval in a few weeks. Anyone 40 or over have success?
I was going to suggest you 'find' a post I made recently & but decided to find it & post it here for you.
"I saw my OB today for the first time since my follow up from the last m/c, last May, for my first OB apt.
She has had a long struggle with IF & m/c herself. Both of her children were IVF babies. Her first was in born in 06 & last in 08. She was 41 when she had her first. She told me that the week she put the crib away, crying, she later realized, hum, something isnt right. She said that for the first time in her 14yrs of marriage she & her husband were NOT ttc & WAALAA PREGNANT!!!
At 44, she will give birth to her miracle baby, with 2 IVF babies at home, one 3yrs old & one 20 months old!!!
So, my getting pg at 40 doesnt faze her, she is not making me feel old (unlike my last OB when I got pg at 36). And, seems to genuinely be excited for me! Much like I am for her!
NEVER give up HOPE, MIRACLES do happen & DREAMS come true!"
DON'T give up! BLESSINGS OF BABY DUST!!!
