Hello everyone,
I am 40 years old and gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby boy last year. I have been trying unsuccessfully since July to have another child for my son to share his life. I was blessed and got pregnnat on 1st unmedicated IUI with my son. I have had 3 IUI's, 1 unmedicated and 2 with Ovidrel trigger shot. All my labs look great. I am very healty, 5'2" and 120 lbs with no medical issues. One of the RE's I met with was so so so negative about the possibility of me getting pregnant again without trying IVF (which I will do if it's my only option). However, I know so many women who are 40-42 and have had successful pregnancies.
Any experience or advice? I want to stay positive and be reassured somehow that it will happen, it might just take a few more tries.
So, would love to hear success stories of other 40 year olds......
Thank you for taking the time to read this and respond.
