Hi Blue!

Never late for our dream to be a mommy!

At least try everything that you can. Some woman can bear more that the others...

I had my first at 45 and now pregnant with my second at 46. It is all personal choice. Xx

Wow debra kay if you do not mind how did you it?

[Debrakay1704 in reply to Bluelady-sing]

Of course I don’t mind. I did use DE, I got pregnant naturally 3 times before naturally but when I started treatment they found out I had a blood condition which they think could have caused the losses. As everyone says the chances using your own eggs are low but it is personal choice xx

D e is that Donner egg?

[Bluelady-sing in reply to Debrakay1704]

It's a shame they did not find out about the blood condition

Blue lady, you post a lot of posts often asking similar things and what your chances are. Have you started the process of actually speaking to a doctor? Until you do this you won’t know what your chances are, no matter how many posts you do on here.

If you’re genuinely keen to have a Familly then you need to speak to a doctor to find out certain key things eg your AMH/FSH etc and take it from there. Everyone’s situation is different.

Hello Bluelady-sing!

It’s never too late to try and be a mummy.. But your Consultant will let you know what options are a available to you. I’m 46 now and going though our final ICSI cycle with our own bits & pieces. The consultant was very honest about our chances ... but there is still a chance so we have decided to go for it one last time! (Donor eggs & donor sperm are also an option for couples with much higher rates of success).

Good luck with whatever you choose to do next xxx Big hugs 🤗 xxx

What did the doctor day. I had a online consultation I have pcos they said less than 4%

[Aquarius_hope in reply to Bluelady-sing]

I didn’t ask for any percentages, my lovely. I just wanted to know if we still had a chance with our own bits & pieces ... and we did. The nurses and embryologists were also very encouraging, as they said our previous embryos were “beautiful”!!

I also met a lady at the ivf clinic (in her 40’s) who was told that she had practically no chance of having a baby with her own eggs (she had low ovarian reserve). However, her & hubbie decided to give it one more go before going down the donor egg route ... and she now has a gorgeous healthy 20 month old boy!! Amazing!!!

You really can’t just focus on the numbers... and every patient is so different!! However, I do understand that the whole process is so overwhelming and you can feel alone and lost most of the time.

My advice to you would be to join one of the online support groups (I found them on the fertility network site) and you can hear lots of different stories & outcomes. It will probably help you quite a bit!

In the meantime sending you a big hug XX

Did you take any supplements

[yogigirl]

Of course not, I’m 43 and working on it, First cycle failed but I’m hoping this one will work since I got donor eggs, Everyone is different so good luck
