So, it’s early days , but after five rounds of ivf with my own eggs I finally got a positive today. Not bad for a 44 year old! Obviously there is still a long way to go. But just wanted to give others my age some good news. Fingers crossed.

Awh 🥰 happy news 😘🥳💐💖
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing such positive news. I'm 40 and contemplating a 5th round but feel like giving up and moving to DE. I can get lots of eggs but no embryos. You news has given me hope xxx
Do you take dhea? I am sure it has helped me. The longer I have taken it, the better my results have been each time. It has definitely improved quality of my eggs.
Congratulations, that’s amazing news! X
Congratulations!! Amazing news. I’m also 44, my clinic has suggested iui on this cycle you have given me hope 💖xx,

Congratulations 🎉
Huge congratulations! X
Aww congratulations xx
Congratulations this is lovely news! And thanks for sharing and giving us hope x
Wonderful news! Congratulations! Can I ask, how did you prepare yourself? Did you do anything in addition?
To be honest, over the five rounds so far we have done everything. From growth hormones to the immunoglobulin drips. But the strange thing about my case is each time the cycle has gone a little bit better, and I think that was down to taking dhea. I kept having tests and my clinic said my levels were fine, but I took it anyway - in between cycles.
It might just also be a game of numbers. I have had 14 embryos and blasts transferred in 13 months. Take care
i think dhea helped me have a baby at 43 years old, and also a friend, also 43 years old - it is kind of a wonder drug!
articsnowfox : could you please suggest which brand you took for dhea and did you do IVF or was it natural conception? Thanks much
Sounds like a winning combo. Fantastic! I’ve got pcos so I think I’m unable to take DHEA unfortunately. I must double check. I’ve just had loads of testing done with Dr Shehata so maybe he’ll suggest it. I’m 41, I’ve had 8 cycles and one beautiful boy. I miscarried one and I feel like I need to get myself tested as I always get to blasto stage. I think it’s me, rather than my embryos.
Amazing! ❤️ Congrats and so so nice to hear good news out there. X 👍👍👍

Amazing news! Congratulations!
So fantastic! Enjoy the day, enjoy every day, look at your positive test every 10 mins with excitement, even though there’s a long way to go.
I would focus on ‘today I’m pregnant’ and let yourself have that joy. You’ve probably waited long enough for it!! Thrilled for you, hopefully you’ll soon be searching for over 40s first time pregnant forums like I am!! 🥰
Great news!!! You give us all hope so thank you for posting this. Can I ask what brand of DHEA you used and what type of cycle you did - ie natural modified, short or long protocol etc?
I used Eurovital. One 25mg tablet three times a day.
I was on what argc call a flash protocol. I think it means get as many drugs in as possible over two weeks! Blood tests everyday in that time and constant tweaking of Fostimon to begin with, and then a few days of meriofert. I also took growth hormones, aspirin, clexane, dextramethasone and had an immunoglobulin drip as my nk result came back high. And of course multi vitamins and ubiquinol.
They also recommended 4 litres of water and 1 litre of milk a day.
This is so beautiful... many many congrats!!! Gives me at 40 real hope. Did you do all your cycles at Argc? Im currently trying to choose between argc and crgh
Congrats 🤗
