May 17, 2019 at 3:58 amAfter 4 years of trying, we got pregnant with IVF and I was 41 when I gave birth to a happy, healthy boy. I have just started using this again now as we have started trying again (he is a year old now.).

Wishing you all the best for your efforts. I had a few triphasic temp charts in the last few months of trying (having taken multivits and bit D and got my husband to improve his sperm health!) - fingers crossed this is a positive sign for you MommaIhope2B.x

May 21, 2019 at 12:02 amThanks MommaIhope2B,
I didn’t measure my temp when I was going through ivf as I didn’t know how to interpret it, but I’m hoping your chart is a positive sign. Thinking of you over the next few days!

May 21, 2019 at 12:41 pmI’m so sorry to hear that. It is a difficult road to go down and so emotional.

You are right about donor eggs. A friend of mine was given amazing chances of conceiving with a donor due to the age of the donor only being 20. She had a lovely baby boy, who is now 15mo. Not having to go through the emotional and painful process of egg retrieval must make an amazing difference too.

All the best with whatever you decide.

September 20, 2019 at 1:42 pmI'm 44 and trying too. But; I'm doing the natural way. My insurance doesn't cover fertility issues. Best of luck to you in this journey!

October 12, 2019 at 3:24 amHiya... I am 44 and my period is now 3 weeks late... i am not  charting and usually have 30-32 day cycles... I am now on day 51... got 3 negative pregnancy tests but feel really strange... getting quite tired earlier in the day than usual and have had some aches along the way... not sure what to do as it could be just hormone changes as im nearly 45 but I worry a little there is something going on... last time I was pregnant I was told at the hospital as I was seeing them for unexplained infertility.... so this is the first time I have been testing for pregnancy myself...  anyone experienced anything similar.... wondering whether to go see doc

April 26, 2020 at 7:52 amHey there! Well as of right now I'm 45 and about 7 weeks pregnant. It was kinda a shock since we had stopped trying due to the chance of something going wrong. I'm excited and scared at the same time but ready for hopefully a happy and healthy journey. How are things going on your end?

April 26, 2020 at 9:16 amAmazing news, Stacybld.  Sorry, MommaIhope2B - I've been meaning to check in for a while.  I hope you are getting on ok?

I am about to turn 43 and had a few cycles of IVF before my first little boy, who is now almost 2.  I've been having more ivf and am now 18 weeks pregnant.  It has been quite a bumpy ride and being pregnant for the second time is quite daunting, but we are hoping all will be well.  Having had a lot of embryos left over from the first cycle, I thought it would be a breeze this time, but after a few failed cycles, we had 5 of the remainder genetically tested.  Of those, only one was normal, so I had that put back in and took steroids for the first 3 months and here I am!

Fingers crossed for both of you.x

April 26, 2020 at 9:58 amCongrats acowham! The chromosomal issue is my biggest scare right now especially since my last baby at 43 was born with trisomy 18. I'm just hoping and praying all is well with this one. It's in God's hands now as it always has been.

April 27, 2020 at 11:27 amOh no, stacybld, that sounds really hard for you. To have made it all the way through a pregnancy is hard enough.  I hope you can manage to stay positive through this pregnancy - it is a long time to wait to see whether your prayers have been answered this time.

May 5, 2020 at 1:37 pmHi rhondamay1972, I'm not an expert either, but I did measure my temps for a long time.  I could be wrong, but it looks like your body is trying hard to ovulate - certainly with the temp dips at day 14 and 20, but unless you get a sustained temperture rise, it probably hasn't happened yet? Fingers crossed it did happen at day 20 and the rise continues.
