Just need some hope…

[Anonymous]

TTC at 40 and now 41. Two miscarriages last summer and fall but nothing since. Seeing RE and already doing all the things (acupuncture, supplements, etc.).

Just wanted some hopeful stories from the over 40 crowd to gear up for the eventual next cycle.

Thanks and wishing the best for everyone in the trying season of life.

Be open to donor egg. I have three de kids and am so glad I did it

Are you doing IVF next? I think what I learned in my journey is you go from having a chance to less than 5% live birth rate in 2 years (age 43). At 38, 85% of my day 5 embryos were abnormal and that dropped from 66% the year before.

That said, after 3 years of losses I'm pregnant under the care of a RI. If you continue to lose chromosomally normal fetuses don't wait to hire one. The REs won't help you stay pregnant.

Have you brought your husband in to have his semen tested? Make sure to use a real clinic with an on-site lab for this.

Sending you good wishes! Our story seems to be going our way so far; but it’s still early 🤞- wishing the best for you too!

1. Your husband needs his sperm tested.
2. You should consider donor egg. Seriously.
3. Are you using Inito, the fertility tracker app? I love it. I understand my cycles so much better with it, and it's very useful for tracking hormonal trends (and maybe even more interesting if yours are under the influence of injections).
4. Best of luck, OP!

Sounds like me…2 miscarriages at 39-40 then nothing for 8 months, then moved to IVF. 2nd cycle worked and first son born at 41. Second son via FET from the same cycle born when I was 43. Good luck!

Prayers are being said for you.

I just had my second and final at 40. Did three rounds of IUIs and then a $2,000 medicated round as a final Hail Mary. It didn’t work. But literally the next cycle I got pregnant naturally, despite male factor. So anything really is possible.

Classmate is now pregnant at 43. Another gf had her first and only at 43.

Suggest sharply reducing stress, getting fresh air daily, sharply reducing alcohol and caffeine, getting consistent sleep at night and your DH doing the same. My partner’s parents thought that they were infertile and had two kids two years apart around age 40. They’d been married 15 years. Dad got laid down off and boom. Pregnant.
