I didn't even think of the Playgroup mums. One of the ladies there went to the dr's cause she couldn't stand this menopause business ROFLwhen the dr told her she was 12 weeks pregnant! She had a 12 yr ds and an 8 yr old dd and had lost twins a few year earlier. It was a lively surprise for the family. She was 42!
Just thought I'd pop in with another success story...
A gf of mine had numerous rounds of IVF to get her DD (now aged 6) and her DS (aged 2). She's just told me that she's 6 wks pg with an oopsie bub conceived without any help! She turned 40 last month.
I read an old magazine article last week about a woman who conceived at 50. She tried AC but it didn't work so she gave up. She thought her period went missing because of menopause but her husband suggested she pee on a stick after she went to a party and felt sick and she got a BFP.
I turned 41 in August and am on my 5th pregnancy for the year. The first four were the result of five cycles of trying. This pregnancy was our sixth cycle of trying. All conceptions have been natural, but after my 3rd loss I went to a fertility specialist. 4th pregnancy was a sneaky one that by some miracle snuck in prior to my DH going overseas and us starting with the whole drug regime.
I was originally going to do ovulation stimulation followed by pretty full on support following ovulation as if I was pregnant. I decided not to do the ovulation stimulation in the end, so this was again a natural conception but I have been taking pretty high doses of provera and asprin as well as twice weekly injections of pregnyl and will continue until I hit 12 weeks next week.
At my OB the other day there was a woman there who is 44, and my OB's wife gave birth to their 3rd child at 41.
Good luck N2L. I really hope you are growing your own beautiful bundle soon.
ETA: The mother of one of the kids in my DD's kindy fell pregnant naturally at 45 after a couple of failed cycles at IVF.
