Positive pregnancy test at 44

[Anonymous]

Congratulations and try to enjoy the moment and who knows hopefully it goes well! I am 42 and divorced and dating someone new who never had kids… I fantasize about this a lot but haven’t pulled the trigger regarding stopping birth control.

My friend just had a baby (IVF, donor egg) at 43 after many failed attempts and I am over the moon for her. Ignore the people saying you are too old… who does that, especially if it’s a surprise pregnancy?!

Well, I miscarried.

I know I have a higher than normal risk of miscarriage due to coagulation issues and endometriosis. Plus age, and that poor embryo didn't stand a chance.

PP, most people having successful pregnancies in their 40s go through IVF.

Sorry op. Big hugs to you.

Dude you're nuts. No one casually has kids with a stranger. Bad idea

Fun fact, IVF doesn't even work either. I had 2 kids and miscarried 6. IVF didn't stop the miscarriages.

My college roommate is 50 with 5 and 3 year olds. No miscarriages or RE intervention, just pure good luck. Hope it works out for you as well!

Hi, I am sorry for pregnancy loss. PGD combined with IVF can help reduce the risk of miscarriage and improve the chances of a successful pregnancy.
