I too started at 43. Am currently snuggled on the sofa with my 3 year old watching paw patrol. You've got this. Sending good growing vibes.

I tried with my own eggs at 40 / 41 but then covid and other issues hit so treatment was massively delayed. Long story short, j chose to move on to donor as I'm a smbc. I already have 3 ivf miracles and was being a little greedy wanting one more. I ended up having 4 donor embryos transferred. The first 2 were negatives, the last 2 I switched to modified natural and both were positives although I miscarried the first at 6 weeks. The 4th cycle was a success and I'm 30 weeks tomorrow and beyond excited. By the way, I was 46 when I transferred my last 2 embryos and am.47 now 😊. Wishing you lots of luck x

You have given me hope, as I'm 47 too. Had embryos stored when I was 39 years old, so want use them in the new year

I'm kind of apprehensive but still hopeful.

I’m 43, currently pregnant with my second with my own eggs via ICSI. First was also via icsi when I was 42. Both from the 3rd cycle of ivf. First was a fresh transfer, second was a frozen embryo transfer.

Good luck with your journey.

Thanks for sharing & congrats, i get so much hope from this comment. I’m starting ivf this year about to turn 40. Can I ask why you were told you had a 10% chance? What was your AMH & AFC? Thanks
