You still have a chance with egg donation! X

At 44 the chances of natural conception a mth is 3% and drops to 1% after 44 so really low but not impossible.

Be encouraged sisterly. Trust me we’re in this together. I’m 41 and keeping hope alive in this journey to motherhood. X

As God lives, it sure will end in praise! Amen 🙏 🤗❤️

Realistically if you want to try naturally..unfortunately quite low.

There are options nowadays though so it might be worth speaking to a specialist for whats available for you

I had a natural pregnancy at 44 and my amh was really low at 0.2 and high fsh with irregular periods. I had dhea (ordered from abroad) coq10 and other concoctions. If your bloods come back good and your having regular periods you regularly exercise then you still have a chance. Good luck!

It’s a steroid that improves your egg quality. A lot of fertility Drs recommend it but you can’t buy it in this country.

Hi Bluelady,

My friend had her boy IVF with own eggs at 46.

Wishing you all the best

I had a successful 2nd IVF round when I was 44 with my own eggs. I wanted to try mine first. I didn't produce masses of eggs but all 4/5 fertilised each time. None made it to freezing. Get your tests done and see what they say. Good luck and give it a shot - my friends have both had success with donor eggs too

I’m 44. Have had 4 cycles (1 NHS, 3 private). Decreasing egg collection with nothing to transfer on last cycle. I’m considering DE but might have one last roll of the dice with my own eggs. It has been hard but I am focused on what I want. I would say, get your levels checked and then speak to a clinic about different options. There is hope. It’s about finding whats right for you. I do have a friend of a friend who had first time success at 47/48 with her own eggs so although chances are slim, there is still a chance. Good luck!
