I am not over forty but I am nudging it! (in August!)...` I have four live children and have had 3 early miscarriages and 3 mid trimester losses on the journey to holding a much wanted 5th baby.
I required clomid to conceive this baby and I am not going to sugar coat how bloody difficult this journey is... I long for the days of ignorant bliss! However what doesn't kill me makes me stronger and I know I am a better person for this journey that my life has shown me...

Don't listen to the naysayers - listen to that heart of yours... It will never fail you. Believe that you will hold that baby. Put pictures up of healthy babies, write a birth announcement. Surround yourself with positive thought and loving people...

I read an article last night (for those of you who know sent by my mum!) on women of more mature years having babies. There was a lovely story of a woman of 44 who 3 months ago birthed her first child. She had been on ivf to no avail... One day she looked in the mirror and saw "pregnant breasts"... She was indeed 6 weeks pregnant... Now she holds a healthy pooing screaming bubba... It can happen and it happens every day.... Wishing you all the luck in the world on YOUR journey...
