    Thanks ladies, I wrote the post after 2 glasses of red hahaha so I was feeling pretty emotional, lol.

    Yas and Kazzo, it's good to know there were 'older' pg in your families! It's so encouraging to hear, thank ladies.

    Juniper, I hear what you're saying bun, I just suspect my 'half decent' fertile window was when I was 38. Looking back at my results this year, so 4 years later, the path to conception seems to be that much harder, which is what I expected. I think because we keep moving the cycle out and that damn clock is ticking away so bloody loudly (it's actually gone off now, with full on ringing ) I feel like I am literally running out of time AND eggs

    I had Miss A two months before turning 42. I had 4 m/cs trying to get her and ended up on hormone support but we got there eventually with a natural conception. I also have just had another m/c so conception at least is still possible.

    I hope the conception fairy smiles on you very soon

    My mum just had another baby (naturally) nearly 5 months ago. She was 41 when conceived, 42 when she had him.

    I work as a midwife and recently cared for a lady who was 48 just 1.5months off 49. She conceived naturally unplanned just after her 48th birthday. She went to the Dr will swelling in her abdomen and the Dr said she had ovarian cancer and sent her for an urgent ultrasound. It was then they found the stow away close to 5months along by memory and 21years after her last baby. The new bub was perfect. There is definately hope both naturally and with IVF.
