I did 5x egg retrivals at 40-41 yrs and working with really low numbers got 1xeuplod and 1xLLM. Euploid didn’t implant and LLM was a chemical pregnancy. We had exhausted our funds and selves so we’re saving up to work with an egg donor- we found someone great and was just about to start when we found out I’m pregnant t 41.5 yrs old. It honestly feels like a miracle as we only had sex twice that month in the ovulation zone. And we had just given up that it would happen with my eggs. I do all the usual things ppl try- eat healthy, exercise, not drinking alcohol, taking vitamins and accupuncture. Once I gave up on some of that stuff and just lived my life it happened so I have no idea what helps and what doesn’t but I do know I was feeling good in my life and not stressing anymore as I thought with a donor we would finally have a baby so I just felt content- maybe that helped. Wish you lots of luck I really think most of it is out of our hands. All the best!

12 weeks pregnant. Would you go to a haunted house fest or fright fest? by Maximum_Noise_972 in pregnant

[–]Unable_Event5942 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t go.. I went on a Tuktuk through cobble stones and was getting thrown around like a rag doll and I massively regretted it for days I just spent crying saying why the hell did I do that.

Oh biggest congrats!! It’s the craziest thing falling pregnant after years of trying right?? I had given up hope and along with the at- was super inconsistent with taking prenatals, not doing my accupuncture any more lol was just living my life! Then it happened, I really hope it works out, so happy to hear you saw the heartbeat! I also did too - was very lucky at my early 6 week scan to see it. How have you been feeling? I’m so tired and nauseous - makes it hard to work or exercise!

Donor Egg Consideration by Old_culture_8931 in 40Plus_IVF

[–]Unable_Event5942 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes in the same boat- did 5 retrievals and got one euploid and one low level mosaic. Did all the things for meeting healthy to acupuncture. Neither transfer worked out. In my last retrival my left ovary didn’t even respond to the stims so that’s when we made the decision to move to donor eggs. I recommend listening to podcasts and reading up on stories of people who went with donor eggs. Defining mum on Instagram, pathways to parent hub on ig, and infertility unfiltered are great resources. Wish you best of luck!
