*Sensitive* A good news day for this 44 year old…

[Fertilityjourney]

So… wonderful news, I am pregnant ! ✨💕

Still have a blood test to do on Thursday and the viability scan - but a good friend said it’s a strong first pregnancy test with the naff ones the IVF clinics give you! So🙏🙏🙏

All feels very surreal… and I feel extra tired as have a bloomin cold! But feeling very grateful for IVF and immune treatment right now.

Thanks for everyone’s support as always. Xx

[Fertilityjourney in reply to olabode]

I have everything crossed for you. 🙏🙏 x

[RACMumm in reply to olabode]

I had my successful transfer at 46 and am currently 24 weeks. You have time 🥰

[Orangeflowers]

🤩 Amazing! Congratulations! Super good to hear. I'm also 44, so any tips would be good. Did you use your own eggs (and if so, when were they collected?) or did you use donor?

[Fertilityjourney in reply to Orangeflowers]

Hey there, I think we’ve spoken in the past when I was trying for no 1. 🙏🙏 everything goes smoothly but it’s a good start!

I did an embryo banking cycle when I was 42 so this was a Frostie from that round. So technically my daughters little brother/sister is actually older!

I did the same FET protocol as I did on my first FET - mild stimulation with Gonal F. And I’m on the same concuction of drugs as I was with my daughter - hydroxychloroquine 6 weeks prior, baby aspirin 4 weeks prior, Intralipid a week before, Lubion injections every other day and, Crinone daily, plus Fragmin injections a week before FET.

As well we pre natal vits, vit D and Omega 3 (plus iron every other day as I’m veggie) I’ve also been eating 2 Brazil nuts daily and having a beetroot shot daily /every other day since transfer. I rested (with a tiny bit of walking) for the first few days after transfer, did yoga on the 4th day, and did LOTS of walking towards the end of the 2ww… God knows what / if any of that helped but thought I’d mention! (I also brought baby a welcome to the world outfit and a teddy as I did this last time!!)

Oh and I had a womb massage two weeks before transfer and reflexology in my 2ww. Xx

[Mei19 in reply to Fertilityjourney]

Congratulations !! I have RAarthrtis and recurrent implantation failure but have never been given intralipids. Could you please tell me more about the intralipid therapy ? How many ml? every day .., ? Did you Also continue with it after transfer ?

Many thanks 😊

[Fertilityjourney in reply to Mei19]

Hi there,

I'm not sure of the dosage but I had one 7 days before transfer and then I have them at 4, 8, 10 and 12 weeks. xx

Thank you, hope you and your little boy are doing well. Xx

[HTasmin]

hi, I’m new here. Firstly congratulations! Wishing you all the best. It’s so great to hear the success stories. Also, you had reflexology in the 2ww, was it a general one or a one focusing on your uterus?x

[Fertilityjourney in reply to HTasmin]

Thank you. I see a lovely lady who specialises in fertility reflexology so it would focus on that - but also other areas to try and ground me/ relax me. She also did my sinuses as they are blocked up! Xx

[HTasmin in reply to Fertilityjourney]

Ok thanks a lot for your response x

[Exercise4Calm]

Congratulations, wishing you all the best x

Brilliant news and gorgeous strong lines! Congratulations xx

[Fertilityjourney in reply to Pintu88]

Thank you! 🙏

[Jrss1]

Congratulations!! Now start pumping in the progesterone. Get the clinic to check yours and if low use progesterone in oil. Crucial at this stage 😘

[Fertilityjourney in reply to Jrss1]

Thank you. I had my progesterone checked two days before transfer and doc was happy with it but I’m still taking 50mg Lubion every other day and Crinone daily. 🙏 xx

[Crie1983]

Congratulations. Amazing news. Xx

[Nabsal]

congratulations 🤗very happy for you.

[Lana2009]

Aww congrats!! This is amazing news 🥰

I remember had the worst cold when I finally got pregnant! It came on the day after my transfer and was horrific… In fact the one natural chemical I had I also had a sore throat for a couple of days. I swear sometimes it’s a symptom of pregnancy.

Awww and it does look like a strong line! enjoy this moment! It’s so precious . Xxx

[Fertilityjourney in reply to Lana2009]

Thanks so much! My husband has had the cold and of course has been seriously ill whilst I’m plodding on (with naps!) 😂 xx

[ColinCat19]

I’m feeling down today and coming on here and reading this gives me hope. Congratulations!! So happy for you!! Xx

[Fertilityjourney in reply to ColinCat19]

Thank you so much, sorry to hear you were feeling down but wishing you lots of luck. Xx

[ColinCat19 in reply to Fertilityjourney]

Thank you 😊 xx

[Daughterofaking]

Congratulations and a beautiful 9 months journey xx

[Roellen]

Oh I'm SO SO thrilled for you 💗

[Liberty82]

Congratulations! I was 39 when I had my first and I'm pregnant with baby number 2 at 41.

My first pregnancy was after 8 years of infertility.

Some of my friends of the same age are still having babies so I think it's more common now. My cousin was 44 when she had her 2nd.

Hope the scan comes around quickly for you, as I know what that wait is like!

Happy and healthy 9 months to you! X
