Thinking of TTC Baby Nos 3 @ 41 ! Anyone conceived over 40? Tell me your story :-)

[NicNac]

Well we tried while I was ( or rather am) 40. We had to use clomid as I don't ovulate every month (same as when I was 38 with DD), but fell first round. Am 20 weeks today.
Good luck!

I'll be 42 next week and Miss A is 10 weeks old. I was very lucky in that I fall pregnant very easily. I was unlucky in that I fell, lost, fell, lost etc four times. We then trundled off to the fertility specialist. I had injections to trigger ovulation and then injections throughout the TWW. I was incredibly lucky and got a BFP first time and then started with progesterone tablets 4x daily and injections 3x weekly until we got to 13 weeks.

I don't "do" pregnancy well, but this last time I was very sick the entire time and it was very difficult being like that while having two other kids to care for. i then had a great natural, drug free birth at 40+8.

It was really tough mentally, emotionally and physically but now that she's here I can't imagine not having had her ITMS.

Good luck with whatever you decide

NicNac - CONGRATULATIONS!! That is wonderful news - halfway there (the rest will fly!) I guess I will see if I need to go on clomid or get some assistance if things dont happen quickly - thank you for sharing

LuluHB - Wow thats wonderful - hopefully I can emulate what you have done - how are you finding the jump from 2 to 3 ?

Thanks again for your inspiriration to give it a try
