Hi! I’m 46 years old and 23 weeks pregnant with our first baby! A boy from a DE. So far our little is guy is growing and developing right on track and is healthy. My husband and I are over the moon excited with each milestone we pass as our journey to having a child has been a long one. 6 years to be exact! We endured 2 failed rounds of clomid, 6 failed IVF’s, and 2 miscarriages from natural conception in between. We know our story is not unique as many couples struggle as we have and some even more. We were planning to adopt, but I could not let go the feeling of wanting to feel my baby grow inside me. Boy I’m glad I did not because this has been the coolest experience of my life! I have to admit too that so far my pregnancy has been very easy and I feel great! Even the first trimester was good! I just tell myself I had to endure so much bad stuff leading up to getting pregnant, that as a result I earned and easy pregnancy! I exercise 6 days a week (I’m a runner and worked out regularly before I became pregnant). Growing a human is pretty amazing. We are so fortunate to have had success on our first attempt with a DE and have 2 embies on ice if we want to try for a second. One step at a time as we still have a ways to go with this one and I’ll be 47 when I deliver him at the end of Nov. via a planned c-section due to scar tissue from endometriosis, fibroid removals, and miscarriages. Anyway, I just wanted to share our story to give hope to others who are older and still trying for their first child. I’m happy to share any information about our process, protocol etc., if it will be helpful! My best advice is don’t give up!! ❤️
